(2x+y=-2 5x + 3y = -8 Solve by elimination

Mathematics
1 answer:
Effectus [21]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

y = -6, x =2

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve by elimination, you have to line both equations up together. Then, you multiply both equations until one variable is removed.

2x+y = -2

5x + 3y = - 8

There are many different ways to solve an elimination problem, but generally you should look for the simplest route. Here, I would multiply the top equation by -3.

-6x -3y = 6

5x +3y = -8

Imagine you are adding the two equations together. You end up with

-x = -2

Then solve for x. In this situation, it is fairly simple. Take out a factor of -1.

x = 2

Finally, choose one of your beginning equations and plug your new-found x value back into the equation.

2(2) +y = -2

4 + y = -2

y = -6

GrogVix [38]

Answer:  800 feet²

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets remove the brackets from the function's expression

A(x) = -2x²+80x

So we got the quadratic function and we have to find the x that corresponds to function's maximum. Let it be X max

As we know Xmax= (X1+X2)/2 , where X1 and X2 are the roots of the function A(x)

Lets find X1 and X2

x(80-2x)=0

x1=0   80-2*X2=0

x2=40

So Xmax= (0+40)/2=20

So Amax= A(20)= 20*(80-2*20)=20*40=800 feet²

Diego is 165 cm tall. Andre is 1.7 . tall. Who is taller Diego or Andre?​
ycow [4]

Answer:

Andre is taller.

Step-by-step explanation:

I assume Andre's height is 1.7 m.

Let's convert Andre's height to cm.

1 m = 100 cm

1.7 m = 1.7 * 1 m = 1.7 * 100 cm = 170 cm

Andre is 170 cm tall. Diego is 165 cm tall.

Since 170 cm > 165 cm, Andre is taller.

Please help! i cant solve it​
3241004551 [841]

a ≈ 5.2, B ≈ 50°, C ≈ 95°

Solution:

Given data:

A = 35°, b = 7, c = 9

Using cosine law,

a^{2}=b^{2}+c^{2}-2 b c \cos A

a^{2}=7^{2}+9^{2}-2 (7)(9) \cos 35^\circ

a^{2}=49+81-126 (0.82)

a^{2}=26.68

Taking square root on both sides.

a ≈ 5.2

Using sine law,

$\frac{\sin A}{a} =\frac{\sin B}{b}

$\frac{\sin 35^\circ}{5.2} =\frac{\sin B}{7}

Multiply by 7 on both sides.

$\frac{0.5735}{5.2}\times 7 =\sin B

Switch the sides.

Sin B = 0.772

B=\sin^{-1}0.772

B ≈ 50°

Sum of all the angles of a triangle = 180°

A + B + C = 180°

35° + 50° + C = 180°

85° + C = 180°

C = 180° - 85°

C = 95°

Hence a ≈ 5.2, B ≈ 50°, C ≈ 95°.

nignag [31]
After 5 years, value doubles. 
Hence after 5 years, value is 250 x 2 = 500
After another 5 years, value doubles. 
500 x 2 = 1000
Ans: $1000

Method 2, using function given. 
v(10) = 250 x 2(10/5) = $1000
