What would you do to solve the system?

Answer:

To decide whether to add or subtract,  determine if the values of the  coefficients are the same or opposites:

. If the values are the same, subtract the  equations.

• If the values are opposites or additive  inverses, add the equations.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

12x = 48 - 8y

10x + 8y = 38

Required

How to solve

Options (1) and (2) are incorrect because none of the options eliminate x or y.

For option (3),

- Check for the coefficients of x and y

- If they are the same (sign and value), then subtract; otherwise add

For instance:

12x = 48 - 8y

10x + 8y = 38

Rewrite the second equation

12x = 48 - 8y

10x = 38 - 8y

The coefficient of y are the same, so we subtract;

12x - 10x = 48 - 38 -8y -(-8y)

12x - 10x = 48 - 38 -8y +8y

2x = 10

x= 5

<em>See that y has been eliminated</em>

Please solve -3x+12=48
choli [55]

Answer:

x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

-3x+12=48

      -12 -12

*subtract 12 from both sides

-3x = 36

-3x/3 = 36/3

*divide 3 from each sides

x = 12

a rectangular block is such that the sides of its base are of the length x cm and 3x cm. The sum of all the lengths of all its e
Xelga [282]

Answer:

15x^2 - 12x^3

Step-by-step explanation:

A rectangular block has 3 parts that play into its volume.  length, width and height.  The question gives us length and width in the form of x and 3x, so height is what's missing.

It gives us a bit more information saying the sum of its edges is 20.  We also have to ask how many lengths, widths and heights are there.  That may be a bit hard to understand, but  is you are looking at a block I could ask how many edges are vertical, just going up and down.  These would be the heights.  There are 4 total, and this goes the same for length and width, so 4*length + 4*width and 4*height = 20.  

Taking that and plugging in x for length and 3x for width (or you could do it the other way around, it doesn't matter, you get:

4*x + 4*3x + 4*height = 20

4x + 12x + 4h = 20

16x + 4h = 20

4h = 20 - 16x

h = 5 - 4x

Now we have h in terms of x, which lets us easily find the volume just knowing x.  To find the volume of a rectangular block you just multiply the length, width and height.

x*3x*(5-4x)

3x^2(5-4x)

15x^2 - 12x^3

Question doesn't give a specific value for x at all so you should be done there.  Any number you plug in for x should get you the right answer
