Answer:
B. 1 and -2
Explanation:
First, add up the equations:
x-x+3y+y=4
4y=4
y=1
Now, plug y into any of the original equations above and solve for x:
-x+1=3
-x=2
x=-2
Therefore, the answer is B. 1 and -2
Question 1. I am assuming you meant 9/16, and in that case, the answer would be 0.5625. 9-16 is -7.
Question 2. 35.7% in decimal form is relative to what the percent is of. 35.7% of a million is different than 35.7% of one.
Question 3. Once again, this is relative as to what. Percentage of the weight of an elephant? It is important to specify in these types of equations.
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
Rise/Run - Y/X
x is going up 5
y is going up 1
so the slope is 1/5
Answer:
C. 20 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = width
Let y = length
If the length is at least 10 feet longer than the width:
⇒ x + 10 ≤ y
⇒ x ≤ y - 10
If the perimeter is to be no more than 100 ft:
⇒ 2x + 2y ≤ 100
⇒ x + y ≤ 50
⇒ x ≤ 50 - y
Equate the equations for x and solve for y:
⇒ y - 10 = 50 - y
⇒ 2y = 60
⇒ y = 30
Substitute found value of y into one of the inequalities for x:
⇒ x ≤ 30 - 10
⇒ x ≤ 20
Therefore, the maximum possible width of the fence is 20 feet.
