Answer:

2a - 5b = 1

3a + 5b = 14

Let's solve this system using elimination. Add the equations together to cancel the b-terms, then solve for a.

   2a - 5b = 1

  3a + 5b = 14

+___________

   5a - 0 = 15

        5a = 15

          a = 3

Next, plug 3 for a into either of the equations and solve for b.

 2a - 5b = 1

2(3) - 5b = 1

   6 - 5b = 1

      - 5b = -5

          b = 1

Lastly, check all work by plugging both values for their respective variables.

    2a - 5b = 1

2(3) - 5(1) = 1

        6 - 5 = 1  --  This is true

    3a + 5b = 14

3(3) + 5(1) = 14

        9 + 5 = 14  --  This is true

The solution to the system of equations is (3, 1).

A tablecloth has a length of
bearhunter [10]

Answer:

45/64 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the length and width of the tablecloth (breath = width).

  • Length = 9/8 m
  • Width = 5/8 m

We know that the formula for the area of a rectangle is A = L × W.

Assuming the tablecloth is in the shape of a rectangle (since the problem gives us length and width), we can substitute the length and width into the formula.

  • A = 9/8 × 5/8
  • A = 45/64

The area of the tablecloth is 45/64 m².

The perimeter of a rectangular building is 346 meters.It is 132 meters long.How wide is it
kakasveta [241]
2L + 2w = 112 ---> L + w = 56 ---> w = 56- L


Area = L*w = L(56-L) = 735

56L - L^2 = 735

0 = L^2 - 56L + 735

0 = (L - 21)(L - 35)

THe dimensions of the rectangle are 35 x 21

Y = x² + 5x +4<br><br><br> Factor
mariarad [96]

Answer:

(x + 1)(x + 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to factor x² + 5x +4 into two binomial factors.  Note that 1*4 = 4 and that 1 + 4 = 5, so:

y = x² + 5x +4 = (x + 1)(x + 4)
