Here's how you solve this. So, x+y=2, right? Let's isolate x. x+y-y=2-y. x=2-y. NOW, if x=2-y, in 3x+2y=5, we can REPLACE x with 2-y and use it to solve for y! 3x+2y=5. 3(2-y)+2y=5. (3*2)+(3*-y)+2y=5. 6+(-3y)+2y=5. 6+(-y)=5. 6+(-y)-6=5-6. -y=-1. -y/-1=-1/-1. y=1.
So, if y=1, we can substitute that back into either equation--but let's go with the easier one, x+y=2. x+1=2. x+1-1=2-1. x=1. 1+1=2, so that works; let's check the other equation. 3(1)+2(1)=5. 3+2=5. 5=5. That's correct!
Answer: x=1, y=1
ANSWER
![363.6 \: miles](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=363.6%20%5C%3A%20miles)
EXPLANATION
We were told that the motorist travelled 250 miles on 11 gallons of gas. This implies that,
![250 \: miles \equiv11 \: gallons](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=250%20%5C%3A%20miles%20%5Cequiv11%20%5C%3A%20gallons)
Now we want to find how far he could go on 16 gallons.
![x \: miles \equiv16 \: gallons](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=x%20%5C%3A%20miles%20%5Cequiv16%20%5C%3A%20gallons)
All other things being equal, the motorist should cover more than 250 miles with 16 gallons of gas.
Recall that: If more, less divides.
This implies that,
![x = \frac{250 \times 16}{11}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=x%20%3D%20%20%5Cfrac%7B250%20%5Ctimes%2016%7D%7B11%7D%20%20)
![x = \frac{4000}{11} = 363.6 \: miles](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=x%20%3D%20%20%5Cfrac%7B4000%7D%7B11%7D%20%20%20%3D%20363.6%20%5C%3A%20miles)
Therefore the correct answer is C.
ANSWER
672cm²
EXPLANATION
The area of a regular hexagon is given by the formula,
![Area = \frac{1}{2} ap](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=Area%20%3D%20%20%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%20ap)
where a=14cm is the apothem and p=96cm is the perimeter of the regular hexagon.
We substitute the values into the formula,
![Area = \frac{1}{2} \times 14 \times 96 {cm}^{2}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=Area%20%3D%20%20%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%20%20%5Ctimes%2014%20%5Ctimes%2096%20%7Bcm%7D%5E%7B2%7D%20)
![Area =672 {cm}^{2}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=Area%20%3D672%20%7Bcm%7D%5E%7B2%7D%20)
Therefore the approximate area of the hexagon is 672cm²
Answer:
A. The economy switches to producing less of one product without increasing the production of the other product
Step-by-step explanation:
PPC is the graphical representation of product combinations that an economy can produce, given resources & technology. It is downward sloping because given resources & technology, production of a good can be increased by decreasing production of other good.
It is based on assumption that resources are efficiently utilised. Points on PPC show resources efficient utilisation, Points under PPC show under utilisation, Points outside PPC are beyond country's productive capacity.
If country produces less of a good without increasing production of other goods, implying wasted resources & production below PPC. This case doesn't satisfy productive efficiency
Other cases : Producing more of a good & less of other is just re allocative movement on the PPC itself. Production point at PPF intersection with either axis implies economy is producing only the good on that axis.
In all the cases except A. satisfy the 'productive efficiency'
Answer: the distance of the base of the house to the foot of the ladder is 6.84 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
The scenario is shown in the attached photo.
Right angle triangle ABC is formed when the ladder leans against the wall of the house.
AC = the height of the ladder
AB = x feet = distance of the base of the house to the foot of the ladder
BC is the wall of the building.
To determine x, we will apply trigonometric ratio
Cos # = adjacent/hypotenuse
Where
# = 70 degrees
Hypotenuse = 20
Adjacent = x
Cos 70 = x/20
x = 20cos70
x = 20 × 0.3420
x = 6.84 feets
