Answer:

x=151/64 y=9/8 z=-51/32

Step-by-step explanation:

2x+2y+5z- (2x-y+z)=-1-2

3y+4z=-3

2x+2y+5z- (2x+4y-3z)=-1-14

-2y+8z=-15

We have two equations 3y+4z=-3 and -2y+8z=-15 (We get it due to elimination method)

3y+4z=-3 (2)

-2y+8z=-15 (-3)

6y+8z=-6

6y-24z=45

(6y+8z)- (6y-24z)= -6-45

32z=-51

z=-51/32

3y-204/32=-3

3y= -96/32+204/32

3y=108/32

y=36/32=9/8

2x+2*9/8+5*(-51/32)=-1

2x+9/4-255/32=-1

2x+72/32-255/32=-1

2x-183/32=-32/32

2x=151/32

x=151/64

a park is 4 times as long as it is wide. if the distance around the park is 12.5 kilometers, what is the area of the park?

blsea [12.9K]

So, first, what are the two sides?

let's call then x and y

we know that 2(x+y)=12.5 (that's the distance around)

so that means that x+y=6.25 (I just divided both by 2)

now, x=4y (from "4 times as long as it is wide")

so we can substitute:

x+4x=6.25

5x=6.25

x=1.25

so one side, is 1.25 and the other will be 1.25*4=5

and for the area we multiply the two:

1.25*5=6.25 square kilometers, and this is the answer!

Prove that the difference between a two-digit number and the product of its digits will always be a 2 digit number.

slamgirl [31]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two-digit number is $xy$

This can be written as:

10x + y, where 1 ≤ x ≤ 9 and 0 ≤ y ≤ 9

The difference between the number and product of its digits is:

d = 10x + y - xy

Rewrite this as below:

d = 10x - xy + y - 10 + 10 =

x(10 - y) - (10 - y) + 10 =

(x - 1)(10 - y) + 10

We see that:

0 ≤ x - 1 ≤ 8 according to the condition given above
1 ≤ 10 - y ≤ 10 again according to the condition given above

The value of d is then:

0 + 10 ≤ d ≤ 8*10 + 10
10 ≤ d ≤ 90
