Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
The Pythagorean Theorem only applies to right triangles.
The formula is:
, where a and b are the legs of the triangle and c is the hypotenuse.
Given any right triangle, the above formula holds true. Thus, the answer is B.
Let daniel's age = d and let jessica's age = j
let your current age = x and your wife's current age = y
x = 5d (given in question)
∴ x - 5d = 0
x + 21 = 2(d+21) (given in question)
∴ x + 21 = 2d + 42
∴ x - 2d = 21
We can solve these two rearranged equations simultaneously by multiplying the first equation by -1 and adding them. This gives us the following:
3d = 21
∴ d = 7
This means that daniel is currently 7 and (if we substitute d = 7 into one of the equations) you are 35. We use a similar method for your wife's and jessica's current ages.
y = 7j (given in question)
∴ y - 7j = 0
y + 8 = 3(j + 8)
∴y + 8 = 3j + 24
∴ y - 3j = 16
If we use a similar method of elimination we get this:
4j = 16
∴ j = 4
Hence, from this we can concur that daniel is 7 and jessica is 4.
The amount of gas in the tank would be 93.5%, which is .935 in decimal form. Multiply that by 40 and the answer is 37.4 gallons.
Answer:
(x, y) = (6, -2)
Step-by-step explanation:
Sometimes this solution method is called "addition" or "elimination." You want to multiply one or both equations by a value or values that make the coefficients of one of the variables be opposites. Then when you add the equations, the result is an equation without that variable. (One variable has been eliminated.)
Multiply the first equation by -2 to make its x-coefficient the opposite of that in the second equation. Then add the two equations:
-2(3x +3y) = -2(12)
-6x -6y = -24
Add the second equation ...
(-6x -6y) +(6x +11y) = (-24) +(14)
5y = -10 . . . . . simplify
y = -2 . . . . . . . divide by 5
__
3x +3(-2) = 12 . . . . . substitute into the first equation
3x = 18 . . . . . . . . . . add 6
x = 6 . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 3
The solution is (x, y) = (6, -2).
Answer: Its 3/1000
Step-by-step explanation:
Put 0.003 over 1 0.003/1 x 1000/1000 = 3/1000
