Answer:

13 is the width and 14 is the length

Step-by-step explanation:

I divided 54 and got 13.5 then I started adding random numbers around 13 like 12+12+13+13 that didn't work it came out to 50 so I went up and did 13+13+14+14 and got my answer

The equation Ax+By=10 goes through the coordinates (6,5) and (-2,-5).What are the values of A and B
wolverine [178]

Given:

The equation Ax+By=10 goes through the coordinates (6,5) and (-2,-5).

To find:

The values of A and B.

Solution:

We have,

Ax+By=10

It goes through the coordinates (6,5) and (-2,-5). It means these points will satisfy the equation.

A(6)+B(5)=10

6A+5B=10       ...(i)

A(-2)+B(-5)=10

-2A-5B=10       ...(ii)

Adding (i) and (ii), we get

(6A+5B)+(-2A-5B)=10+10

4A=20

Divide both sides by 4.

A=5

Put A=5 in (i), we get

6(5)+5B=10

30+5B=10

5B=10-30

5B=-20

Divide both sides by 5.

B=-4

Therefore, the values of A and B are 5 and -4 respectively.

Jackie is reading a 252 page novel for her summer reading project. On Monday she reads 4/8 of the novel. On Tuesday she reads 28
natima [27]

So far, Jackie has read 217 pages

In order to determine the total number of pages Jackie read, we would have to determine the number of pages she read each day and add these pages together

  • Number of pages she read on Monday = \frac{4}{8} x 252 = 126 pages
  • Number of pages she read on Tuesday = 28 pages
  • Number of pages she read on Wednesday = \frac{1}{4} x 252 = 63 pages

The total number of pages she has read so far = 126 + 28 + 63 = 217 pages

I need help solving a system of linear equation, and it says to solve it by Substitution.
olga_2 [115]
2x - 3y = -24
x+ 6y = 18

you solve the first one by the x:

2x = -24 + 3y

x = (-24+3y)/2

then you substitute what you found in the other equation and you solve by y

(-24+3y)/2 + 6y = 18                   multiply everything by 2

-24 + 3y + 12y = 36

3y + 12y = 36 + 24

15y = 60

y = 60/15

y = 4

Good job! You found your y! :D

Now let's substitute the y in the first equation with 4:

2x - 3(4) = -24

2x - 12 = -24

2x = -24 + 12

2x = -12

x = -12/2

x= -6

Done!! ;) <span />
