6v+12b=504 2v+5b=204

Mathematics
1 answer:
ss7ja [257]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

6v + 12b = 504       eq1

2v +  5b = 204        eq2

6v +  15b = 612       eq2  times 3    

0     -3b   = 504 - 612        subtraction of the two bolded eqs

         -3b  =  -108                solve for b

            b  =    36

    Another way to solve the problem

6v + 12b = 504        I would eliminate the v term by multiplying the bottom

2v +  5b = 204        equation by -3 on BOTH sides and then add the two eqs

   2v +  5b  = 204

-3(2v +  5b) = -3(204)

 -6v  -  15b  =  -612

   

6v  + 12b  =   504

-6v  -  15b  =  -612            add the like terms

(6v + (-6v)) + (12b + (-15b)  =  504 + (-612)

(6v -6v)) + (12b - 15b)  =  504 - 612)

    0       +         -3b     =    - 108            solve for b   divide both sides by -3

                           b   =  -108/-3

                             b =  36                  

use eq   2v +  5b = 204       to solve for v       and knowing b = 36

        2v +  5b = 204      b=36

        2v +  5(36)  = 204                 substract 5 times 36 from both sides

                 2v   =   204 - 180

                    v  =    24 / 2

                    v  =  12

NOW CHECK the values for b and v using the OTHER eq

       6v      +     12b      =    504

       6(12)   +   12(36)    =    504

         72    +     432      =    504

                        504      =    504           IT CHECKS

The sum of three consecutive integers is equal to twice the 2nd number decreased by 14. Write an equation and determine the 3 co
meriva

Givens

Let the smallest integer = x

The middle integer = x + 1

The largest integer = x + 2

Remark

The first phrase up to is says the sum of ... The key word is sum. So far you have x + x + 1 + x + 2. Simplified this comes to 3x + 3.

Two times the 2nd number is 2*(x + 1) and from that, subtract 14

2(x + 1) - 14

If you break down each phrase as I have done you will soon become very good at doing these types of problems.

So the equation looks like this.

Solution

3x + 3 = 2(x + 1) - 14 Remove the brackets.

3x + 3 = 2x + 2 - 14 Combine the like terms on the right.

3x + 3 = 2x - 12 Subtract 3 from both sides.

3x = 2x - 12 - 3

3x = 2x - 15 Subtract 2x from both sides.

3x - 2x = - 15

x = -15 <<<< Answer for smallest number.

Answer

-15

- 14

-13 Are the three numbers you seek.

Given a cone with a volume of 288, and height 7 in., find the base radius of the cone. Use 3.14 for pi. Round your answer to the
jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

The radius of the base is r=6.3\ in

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The volume of a cone is equal to

V=\frac{1}{3}\pi r^{2} h

we have

V=288\ in^{3}

h=7\ in

\pi=3.14

substitute and solve for r

288=\frac{1}{3}(3.14)r^{2} (7)

864=(3.14)r^{2} (7)

r^{2}=864/[(3.14)(7)]

r=6.3\ in

Uncle Joe is cutting boards for bookshelves. If he begins with 9 feet of wood, how many shelves will he cut if each one is 1 1/2
kherson [118]

To get the answer, you divide the length of the board by the size of the pieces wanted, so the equation you get is

9/1.5 = 6

So you can get six 1.5in shelves from a 9ft board
