Answer:

Let's solve your system by elimination.

3x+4y=29;6x+5y=43

Multiply the first equation by -2,and multiply the second equation by 1.

−2(3x+4y=29)

1(6x+5y=43)

Becomes:

−6x−8y=−58

6x+5y=43

Add these equations to eliminate x:

−3y=−15

Then solve−3y=−15for y:

−3y=−15

−3y −3 = −15

−3

(Divide both sides by -3)

y=5

Now that we've found y let's plug it back in to solve for x.

Write down an original equation:

3x+4y=29

Substitute5foryin3x+4y=29:

3x+(4)(5)=29

3x+20=29(Simplify both sides of the equation)

3x+20+−20=29+−20(Add -20 to both sides)

3x=9

3x 3 = 9

(Divide both sides by 3)

x=3

Answer:

x=3 and y=5

Answer:

Height=9/2=4.5

A=1/2*b*h

A=1/2*6*4.5

A=13.5

13.5*2=27

The graph of F(x) shown below has the same shape as the graph of G(x) = x^2 but it is shifted down 5 units and to the left 4 uni

$\bf ~\hspace{10em}\textit{function transformations} \\\\\\ \begin{array}{llll} f(x)= A( Bx+ C)^2+ D \\\\ f(x)= A\sqrt{ Bx+ C}+ D \\\\ f(x)= A(\mathbb{R})^{ Bx+ C}+ D \end{array}\qquad \qquad \begin{array}{llll} f(x)=\cfrac{1}{A(Bx+C)}+D \\\\\\ f(x)= A sin\left( B x+ C \right)+ D \end{array} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \bullet \textit{ stretches or shrinks horizontally by } A\cdot B\\\\ \bullet \textit{ flips it upside-down if } A\textit{ is negative}\\ ~~~~~~\textit{reflection over the x-axis}$

$\bf \bullet \textit{ flips it sideways if } B\textit{ is negative}\\ ~~~~~~\textit{reflection over the y-axis} \\\\ \bullet \textit{ horizontal shift by }\frac{ C}{ B}\\ ~~~~~~if\ \frac{ C}{ B}\textit{ is negative, to the right}\\\\ ~~~~~~if\ \frac{ C}{ B}\textit{ is positive, to the left}\\\\ \bullet \textit{ vertical shift by } D\\ ~~~~~~if\ D\textit{ is negative, downwards}\\\\ ~~~~~~if\ D\textit{ is positive, upwards}\\\\ \bullet \textit{ period of }\frac{2\pi }{ B}$

with that template in mind, let's see

down by 5 units, D = -5

to the left by 4 units, C = +4

$\bf G(x)=x^2\implies G(x)=1(1x+\stackrel{C}{0})^2+\stackrel{D}{0} \\\\\\ \begin{cases} D=-5\\ C=+4 \end{cases}\implies F(x)=1(1x+\stackrel{C}{4})^2\stackrel{D}{-5}\implies F(x)=(x+4)^2-5$

If Tom brushes his teeth 1/12 hour a day. how many minutes does Tom brush his teeth in 2 weeks? What units of time do you need t

lilavasa [31]

1/12 hour = 5 minutes, 2 weeks is 14 days, so 5*15 = the amount of time he brushes his teeth so you would need to change from hours to minutes
