Answer:
x=1/2, y=2;
Step-by-step explanation:
First pair:
2x-5y =-9
4x+5y=12
Add them together:
6x=3
x = 1/2
2(1/2) - 5y =-9
1-5y = -9
1+9=5y
y=10/5=2
Answer:
<h2>42.35</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x = 2
x = -3/2 or -1.5
Step-by-step explanation:
For this, I would use the "slip and slide" method. LOL I know the name is cheesy, but that's what my teacher called it!
First, you "slip" the coefficent of the leading term (2) to the constant, and multiply.
The equation becomes:
x² - x - 6(2) = 0
x² - x - 12 = 0
Then, you factor this out by looking at the second and third terms. You're looking for 2 factors of -12 that would add up to -1 ( the coefficent of the second term).
Automatically, think of 3 and 4, because the difference between them is 1.
The factors must be (x-4) and (x+3) because they multiple to -12, and add up to -1.
This step is extremely important! Lol I used to forget it a lot, but make sure you divide the constant in each factor by the original number you "slipped".
It would become (x-(4/2))(x+3/2) = (x-2)(x+3/2)
With (x+3/2), you don't want to leave it as a fraction or decimal. It's equivalent to (2x+3). However, the informal form is easier to identify the value of x.
Answer:
Options A, B and C are CORRECT PROPORTIONS
Step-by-step explanation:
Option A
3:5 = 6:10
The LHS must equal the RHS
3:5 is in it's lowest term.
6/10 will be in it's lowest term by dividing the numerator and denominator by 2.
6/10 = 3/5
Option B
3/6 and 5/10.
Diving 3/6 fractions by 3
= 1/2
Dividing 5/10 fraction by 5
= 1/2
Option C
Dividing 6/3 by 3 = 2
Dividing 10/5 by 5 = 2
Thats how you work through equivalent proportional fractions
Answer:
B. 360 .75
Step-by-step explanation:
The circumference of the circle is represented by π * diameter of the circle. The circumference of the circle is its perimeter. The circumference is arc length of the circle. The perimeter is curve length around the figure of the circle. The circumference of the circle of 75 inches is represented by 75/360.
