Answer:

  (x, y) = (4, 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

If you attempt to solve this by clearing fractions, you end up with an extraneous solution. Here, we'll solve the linear equations ...

  7a +4b = 5/4

  8b -14a = 3/2

where a = 1/(4x+3y) and b = 1/(4x-3y)

Dividing the second equation by 2 and adding the first, we have ...

  (7a +4b) +1/2(8b -14a) = (5/4) +1/2(3/2)

  8b = 8/4

  b = 1/4

Substituting into the first equation gives ...

  7a +4/4 = 5/4

  a = 1/28

__

Now, we can get back to solving for x and y.

  4x +3y = 1/a = 28

  4x -3y = 1/b = 4

  8x = 32 . . . . . . . . . add the two equations

  x = 4

  3y = 28 -4x = 28 -4(4) = 12 . . . . . use x in the equation for 'a'; rearrange

  y = 4 . . . . divide by 3

The solution to the system of equations is (x, y) = (4, 4).

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

If you graph these equations, you find they describe hyperbolas that intersect at (0, 0) and (4, 4). The "solution" (0, 0) is extraneous, as both equations are undefined there.

Answer:

\displaystyle x=-15

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Solution Of A System Of Equations </u>

A system of linear equations is given as

\displaystyle \left\{\begin{matrix}ax+by=c\\ dx+ey=f\end{matrix}\right.

There are many methods to solve them. We will use the method of reduction

The given system is

\displaystyle \left\{\begin{matrix}2x+3y=45\\ x+y=10\end{matrix}\right.

Multiplying the second equation by -3

\displaystyle \left\{\begin{matrix}2x+3y=45\\ -3x-3y=-30\end{matrix}\right.

Adding the resulting equations

\displaystyle -x=15

\displaystyle x=-15

The circular opening of a vase has an inside diameter of 13.5 cm.
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

Area = 143cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Shape: Opening of a circular vase

Diameter =13.5cm

\pi = 3.14

Required

Determine the area

This opening implies a circle; hence the area will be calculated using area of a circle.

Area = \pi r^2

Solve for radius (r)

r = \frac{d}{2}

r = \frac{13.5\ cm}{2}

r = 6.75\ cm

Substitute 6.75 for r in Area = \pi r^2

Area = 3.14 * 6.75^2

Area = 143.06625

Area = 143cm^2 --- Approximated

Why is investing in the stock market riskier than saving cash or bond investments? Describe one way to mitigate, or lessen, that
Vesnalui [34]

If the company performs badly, or there's a perception it does so, then the stock's value will go down and you'll lose money. The only way to earn money from stocks is if the company is able to be innovative and survive the competition. The worst case scenario is that you lose all your money if the company goes bankrupt.

To reduce the risk, you should diversify your investments so that you invest in multiple companies along multiple sectors of the economy. This spreads out the risk so that if one company fails, then its unlikely they all fail (assuming there isn't some catastrophic event in the market). Alternatively, you can invest with mutual funds or index funds to let other people/entities invest your money with a range of diverse companies.
