Answer:

a = \frac{49}{2}

b = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets focus on the third equation to find a:

50 - 2a = 1

Add 2a to both sides of the equation:

50 - 2a + 2a = 1 + 2a

50 = 1 + 2a

Subtract 1 from both sides of the equation:

50 - 1 = 1 + 2a - 1

49 = 2a

Divide both sides by 2:

\frac{2a}{2} = \frac{49}{2}

a = \frac{49}{2}

Now substitute in the know a variable into the first equation:

2a - 3b = -5

49 - 3b = -5

Add 3b to both sides:

49 - 3b + 3b = -5 + 3b\\49 = -5 + 3b

Add 5 to both sides:

49 + 5 = -5 + 3b + 5

54 = 3b

Divide both sides by 3:

\frac{53}{3} = \frac{3b}{3}

b = 18

c cannot be solved as there is no c variable.

Hope this helps!

Solve for x in the equation x²-12x+59=0
lyudmila [28]

{x}^{2}  - 12x + 59 = 0 \\  {x}^{2}  - 12x + 36 + 23 = 0 \\  {x}^{2}  - 12x + 36 =  - 23 \\  {(x - 6)}^{2}  =  - 23 \\ x - 6 =  +  -  \sqrt{ - 23}  =  +  - i \sqrt{23}  \\ x = 6 +  - i \sqrt{23}

mean

x = 6 + i \sqrt{23}

or

x = 6 - i \sqrt{23}

Write an expression for the calculation subtract 12 doubled from 132​
prisoha [69]

Step-by-step explanation:

Doubled of 132 which means 2 times 132 =

Subtract 12 doubled from 132

While write the expression whatever the expression after the word from that we have to write first

So Doubled of 132 - 12

- 12 -----> This is the final expression

If we simplify the above expression we will get

264 - 12

= 252

6th grade math easy! (:

<h3>Answer: A) 20+10h</h3>

Work Shown:

It grows 2h inches for 4 weeks, so 2h*4 = 2*4h = 8h is the amount it grows for those 4 weeks.

Then it grows h inches per week, for 2 more weeks, giving h+h = 2h additional inches.

Overall, 8h+2h = 10h is the amount the plant grows.

It starts off at 20 inches so its final height is 20+10h

The endpoints of a
Zolol [24]

Answer:

2nd option

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a circle in standard form is

(x - h)² + (y - k)² = r²

where (h, k ) are the coordinates of the centre and r is the radius

the centre is at the midpoint of the endpoints of the diameter.

The coordinates of the centre is the average of the coordinates of the endpoints.

centre = ( \frac{-4+2}{2}, \frac{7-1}{2} ) = (\frac{-2}{2} , \frac{6}{2} ) = (- 1, 3 )

the radius is the distance from the centre to either of the endpoints

using the distance formula to calculate r

r = \sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^2+(y_{2}-y_{1})^2

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 1, 3 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (2, - 1 )

r = \sqrt{(2-(-1))^2+(-1-3)^2}

  = \sqrt{(2+1)^2+(-4)^2}

  = \sqrt{3^2+16}

  = \sqrt{9+16}

  = \sqrt{25}

   = 5

then equation of circle is

(x - (- 1) )² + (y - 3)² = 5² , that is

(x + 1)² + (y - 3)² = 25
