Multiply each equation by a constant that would help to eliminate the y terms.

6x-15y=-63
-15x+15y=90

This is because you are multiplying the first equation by a constant of 3 and the second equation by 5 so that you can have -15y and +15y which will cancel each other out.

Over [174]

Answer:

  11

Step-by-step explanation:

The two equations appear to be ...

  • 12x +4y = 152
  • 32x +12y = 420

These can be solved for y using Cramer's rule:

  y = (152(32) -420(12))/(4(32) -12(12)) = -176/-16 = 11

The cost of the vegetarian lunch is 11.

_____

<em>Comment on Cramer's Rule</em>

For equations ...

  ax +by =c

  dx +ey = f

The solutions are ...

  x = (bf -ey)/(bd -ea)

  y = (cd -fa)/(bd -ea) . . . . note the denominators are the same expression

Once you memorize the pattern of products, this can be the simplest way to solve a pair of equations--especially if you only need one of the variable values.

Limit as x approaches 0 of. (sin3xsin5x)/x^2
OLga [1]
The limit of the function <span>( sin3x sin5x ) / x^2 as x approaches zero is evaulated by substituting the function by zero. Since the answer is zero / zero which is indeterminate. Using L'hopitals rule, we derive separately the numerator and the denominator. we all know that sin 5x and sin 3x are equal to zero. Upon teh first derivative, the answer is still zero / zero. We derive further until the function has a denominator of 2 and a numerator still equal to zero. Since the answer is now zero/ 2 or zero not zero/zero, the limit then is equal to zero.</span>

Ten times the sum of half a number x and 8 is 12.
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

BREAKDOWN

10 times: 10 ×

The sum of: ( ) + ( )

which would be : 10 × ( ) + ( )

half a number: 10 × ( X/2 ) + ( )

and 8: 10 × ( X/2 ) + ( 8 )

is 12 : 10 × ( X/2 + 8 ) = 12

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

SIMPLIFICATION

Multiply ten: 10 X (X/2 + 8) = 12

which equals to: 5x + 80 = 12

bring the like terms together: 5x = 80 - 12

Equals: 5x = 78

Find out X:. x = 78/5

FINAL ANSWER:. X = 15.9
