Answer:

A = 90, B =18

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question

The weight of meteorite A is five times the weight of meteorite B, ill get this equation

A = 5B

if their sums of their weights is 108 tons, find the weight of each, ill get this equation

A+B = 108

Now since I have two equation, u just have to solve it simultaneously

A = 5B ( equation 1)

A+ B = 108 (equation 2)

From equation 2

A+B = 108

B = 108 - A ( equation 3)

Now ill put equation 3 into equation one

A = 5B

A = 5 (108 - A)

A = 540 - 5A

6A = 540

A = 90

Now since u know A = 90, just choose any of the equations the question gave u, either equation 1 or 2, they will give u the same answers, I'll prove it to u

Equation 1

A =5B

90 = 5B

B = 90/5

= 18

Equation 2

A+B = 108

90 + B = 108

B = 108 - 90

= 18

So at the end, A = 90 ton, B = 18 ton

Each lenght is in metres Calculate DC​
Gnom [1K]

Step-by-step explanation:

ED is greater than BC

the line from B to ED ^ (which i drew ) the point it touches ED name it X. so EX will be 2 ( ED-BC)(6-4).

then u have a triangle. EX, XB and EB.

you have length of EX(2) and u have hypotenuse. so u can calculate XB using Pythagoras theorem.

15.1²=2²+XB²

15.1²-2²=XB²

224.01=XB²

XB=14.97

since XB and DC are parallel ( a rectangle is forming XBCD) so DC is also 14.97

I am stuck on this question it was can you add 4+2x to get 6x
Fed [463]

Answer:

No you can't.

Step-by-step explanation:

4 is an integer, and 2x isn't so you can't add them together. If 4 was 4x or 2x was 2, then you'd get 6, but you can't add them. Hope this helps :)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

|-5-p| > 11

Required

Solve and graph

|-5-p| > 11

Remove absolute bracket

-5 - p > 11 or -5- p

Solve for p

-p > 11 + 5 or -p < -11 + 5

-p > 16 or -p < -6

Divide by -1

p or p >6
