Answer:

5x+ y = 10 ---(eq1)

x = 25 - y ---(eq2)

substituting (eq2) in (eq1)

5(25 - y) + y = 10

125 - 5y + y = 10

125 - 4y = 10

-4y = 10 - 125

-4y = -115

4y = 115

y = 115/4 = 28.75

substituting value of y in (eq2)

x = 25 - 28.75

x = -3.75

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

there are two ways to solve systems of equations, elimination or substitution, this looks like elimination would work quickly

x= 25 -y

x + y = 25 (eq 1)

5x + y = 10 (eq 2)

subtract 2 from 1

x + y = 25

-(5x + y = 10)

-4x + 0y = 15

-4x = 15

x = - 15/4

now plug in x into either starting equations and solve for y

-15/4 + y = 25

y = 25 + 15/4

y = 100/4 + 15 /4

y = 115 /4

y = 28 3/4

we have solved it :)

What is the area of this polygon?

Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

<h2>39 units</h2>

Solution,

Total area=Area of ABCD+ Area of triangle ADE

 $(ab \times bc) + \frac{1}{2} \times ad \times ef \\ = (5 \times 6) + \frac{1}{2} \times 6 \times 3 \\ = 30 + 9 \\ = 39 \: {units}^{2}$ 

hope this helps...

Question 1 solution:
You have two unknowns here:

Let the Water current speed = W

Let Rita's average speed = R

We are given two situations, where we can form two equations, and therefore solve for the two unknowns, W, R:

Part 1) W→ , R←(against current, upstream)
If Rita is paddling at 2mi/hr against the current, this means that the current is trying to slow her down. If you look at the direction of the water, it is "opposing" Rita, it is "opposite", therefore, our equation must have a negative sign for water:

R–W=2 - equation 1

Part 2) W→ , R→(with current)
Therefore, R+W=3 - equation 2

From equation 1, W=R-2,
Substitute into equation 2.
R+(R–2)=3
2R=5
R=5/2mi/hr

So when W=0 (still), R=5/2mi/hr

Finding the water speed using the same rearranging and substituting process:

1... R=2+W
2... (2+W)+W=3
2W=1
W=1/2mi/hr

What step do I do next ?

Svetach [21]

When it comes to dividing decimals, bear in mind that, first off you'd want to do away with the decimal point.

now, "you add as many zeros to the other term, as it has decimals", what the heck does that mean?

for example 2.135 ÷ 5

notice, the 2.135 has three decimals, namely three numbers to the right of the decimal point.

since 2.135 has three decimals, then what we do, we add three zeros to 5, AND do away with the decimal point, thus our division is really

2135 ÷ 5000, which is 0.427

now, if we had 2.135 ÷ 5.79

what we do is, since 2.135 has three decimals, we add three zeros to 5.79, and since 5.79 has two decimals, we add two zeros to 2.135, then our division is really

213500 ÷ 579000 <-- notice, no dot on both

which is about 0.3687392

anyhow, that said, check the picture below
