Answer:
x = .87, or when approximated to a fraction, 27/31
y = -3.67, or when approximated to a fraction, -1287/350
Step-by-step explanation:
Lets start by rewriting out our equations
2x + 7y = -24
18x + y = 12
Lets solve for a y value; the second equation is easiest, as the y value has no coefficient (the number that is multiplied times a variable). To do this, lets move the 18x to the other side. Now our two equations look like:
2x + 7y = -24
y = -18x + 12
Next, lets plus the second equation into the first equation in regards to y.
2x + 7(-18x + 12) = -24
Now, lets solve!
2x -126x + 84 = -24
Then, combine your terms!
-124x = -108
Divide by (-124)!
x = -108/-124
x = 27/31
Now that we know x, lets plug this back in to the first equation to find y!
2(27/31) + 7y = -24
1.74 + 7y = -24
7y = -25.74
y = -3.67, or when approximated to a fraction, -1287/350
Answer:
19.4
Step-by-step explanation:
50% is one half
so 9.7 is half of ....
Then .... is twice 9.7
.... = 2 × 9.7 = 19.4
Answer:
V = 180 ft^3
Step-by-step explanation:
The volume of a cone is found by
V = 1/3 pi r^2 h where r is the radius and h is the height
The diameter is 12 so the radius is 1/2 the diameter or 1/2(12) = 6
The height is 5 and we are using 3 for pi
V = 1/3 (3) *6^2 *5
V = 180 ft^3
2940/35 equals 84 so each employee will have to work 84 hours.
