Eight, because 8+8+8 is twenty-four
Answer:
(-1/2, 3/4)
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's use the elimination by adding or subtracting method. Note that we have 8y in the first equation, and that we could obtain -8y in the second equation by multiplying the second equation by 2:
2(24x - 4y = -15) => 48x - 8y = -30
Now combine this result (this equation) with the first equation:
2x + 8y = 5
+48x -8y = -30
---------------------
50x = - 25
Dividing both sides by 50, to isolate x, we get
x = -25/50 = -1/2.
Now substitute -1/2 for x in the first equation and solve the resulting equation for y:
2x + 8y = 5
2(-1/2) + 8y = 5, or -1 + 8y = 5, or 8y = 6 (after having added 1 to both sides)
Dividing both sides of 8y = 6 by 8 leads to determining the value of y:
y = 6/8 = 3/4
The solution is (-1/2, 3/4).
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
3/5 + 1/4 = 0.85
0.85 as a fraction is 17/20
So the answer is C
Answer:
C) 120 square feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Note that the bed is in the shape of a <em>triangle</em>. You are also finding the area of the bed (Use the formula Area = 1/2(base * height)).
The base = 20, height = 12. Plug in the corresponding numbers to the corresponding variable.
A = 1/2(20)(12)
Simplify.
A = 1/2(20)(12)
A = (20 * 12)/2
A = (10 * 12)
A = 120
C) 120 square feet is your answer.
