Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

9x+ $\frac{1}{3}$ =x-13

9x*3+1/3=x-13

27x+1/3=x-13

27x+1=3(x-13)

27x+1=3x-39

27x-3x=-39-1

24x=-40

x=-5/3

Answer:

x = - $\frac{5}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

9x + $\frac{1}{3}$ = x - 13 ( multiply through by 3 to clear the fraction )

27x + 1 = 3x - 39 ( subtract 3x from both sides )

24x + 1 = - 39 ( subtract 1 from both sides )

24x = - 40 ( divide both sides by 24 )

x = $\frac{-40}{24}$ = - $\frac{5}{3}$

On a particular map, 1 inch represents an actual distance of 2.5 miles. the actual area of a lake is 12 square miles. find the a

Anton [14]

We have that
scale factor=1 in/2.5 miles
<span>the actual area of a lake is 12 square miles

</span>we know that
[area on the map]=[scale factor]²*[area actual]
[area on the map]=[1/2.5]²*[12]-----> 1.92 in²

the answer is
1.92 in²

A rectangular garden is extended 4% on the long sides and 8% on the short sides. To the nearest hundredth of a percent, by what

liq [111]

Answer: 12.32%

Step-by-step explanation:

1. $x$ is the original long side and $y$ is the original short side.

2. The area of the original rectangle is $xy$ .

3. The rectangle is extended 4% on the long sides and 8% on the short sides. therefore, the new long side is:

$\frac{104}{100}x=\frac{26}{25}x$

4. And the new short side is:

$\frac{108}{100}y=\frac{27}{25}y$

5. The new area is:

$(\frac{26}{25}x)(\frac{27}{25}y)=\frac{702}{625}xy$

6. The percentage of increase is calculated by substracting the new area and the original area:

$\frac{702}{625}xy-xy=0.1232xy$

7. The result is:

(0.1232)(100)=12.32%

Answer:

x = -2 and y = 3

{y = -3 x - 3, y = (3 x)/4 + 9/2} = x = -2 and y = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve the following system:

{6 x + 2 y = -6

3 x - 4 y = -18

Express the system in matrix form:

(6 | 2

3 | -4)(x

y) = (-6

-18)

Solve the system with Cramer's rule:

x = -6 | 2

-18 | -4/6 | 2

3 | -4 and y = 6 | -6

3 | -18/6 | 2

3 | -4

Evaluate the determinant 6 | 2

3 | -4 = -30:

x = -6 | 2

-18 | -4/(-30) and y = 6 | -6

3 | -18/(-30)

Simplify -6 | 2

-18 | -4/(-30):

x = -1/30 -6 | 2

-18 | -4 and y = 6 | -6

3 | -18/(-30)

Simplify 6 | -6

3 | -18/(-30):

x = -(-6 | 2

-18 | -4)/30 and y = -1/30 6 | -6

3 | -18

Evaluate the determinant -6 | 2

-18 | -4 = 60:

x = (-1)/30×60 and y = -(6 | -6

3 | -18)/30

(-1)/30×60 = -2:

x = -2 and y = -(6 | -6

3 | -18)/30

Evaluate the determinant 6 | -6

3 | -18 = -90:

x = -2 and y = (-1)/30×-90

(-1)/30 (-90) = 3:

Answer: x = -2 and y = 3

___________________________________________

Solve the following system:

{y = -3 x - 3

y = (3 x)/4 + 9/2

Express the system in standard form:

{3 x + y = -3

-(3 x)/4 + y = 9/2

Express the system in matrix form:

(3 | 1

-3/4 | 1)(x

y) = (-3

9/2)

Write the system in augmented matrix form and use Gaussian elimination:

(3 | 1 | -3

-3/4 | 1 | 9/2)

Add 1/4 × (row 1) to row 2:

(3 | 1 | -3

0 | 5/4 | 15/4)

Multiply row 2 by 4/5:

(3 | 1 | -3

0 | 1 | 3)

Subtract row 2 from row 1:

(3 | 0 | -6

0 | 1 | 3)

Divide row 1 by 3:

(1 | 0 | -2

0 | 1 | 3)

Collect results:

Answer: {x = -2 , y = 3
