First find a common denominator so how can you change 4 and 8 to be the same, multiply 4 by 2 and what you do to the bottom you have to do to the top. You should get 6/8. So, usually you would change the mixed number to an improper fraction but for this problem you don’t need to. Now you would subtract 1 7/8 -6/8 and that would be 1 1/8. Sometimes you need to simply you final answer but right now it’s already at the lowest it can go. Answer : 1 1/8 Hope this helped :)

What is the solution to the system y>-2x+2 and y>-2x+5?

ELEN [110]

"y>-2x+2 and y>-2x+5" are illustrated graphically by 2 straight dashed lines with slope -2. The lines are parallel because their slopes (-2) are the same. One line has y intercept 2 and the other has y intercept 5. The latter is above the former. Since both inequality signs are " > " we must shade the area ABOVE each of the 2 lines. The solution set is the area of the graph that has been shaded twice, once for y>-2x+2 and again for y>-2x+5. It's y>-2x+5 that has been shaded twice; this area is immediately above the line y>-2x+5.

Solve the system by using a matrix equation.<br> --4x - 5y = -5<br> -6x - 8y = -2

evablogger [386]

Answer:

Solution : (15, - 11)

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to solve this problem using a matrix, so it would be wise to apply Gaussian elimination. Doing so we can start by writing out the matrix of the coefficients, and the solutions ( - 5 and - 2 ) --- ( 1 )

$\begin{bmatrix}-4&-5&|&-5\\ -6&-8&|&-2\end{bmatrix}$

Now let's begin by canceling the leading coefficient in each row, reaching row echelon form, as we desire --- ( 2 )

Row Echelon Form :

$\begin{pmatrix}1\:&\:\cdots \:&\:b\:\\ 0\:&\ddots \:&\:\vdots \\ 0\:&\:0\:&\:1\end{pmatrix}$

Step # 1 : Swap the first and second matrix rows,

$\begin{pmatrix}-6&-8&-2\\ -4&-5&-5\end{pmatrix}$

Step # 2 : Cancel leading coefficient in row 2 through $R_2\:\leftarrow \:R_2-\frac{2}{3}\cdot \:R_1$ ,

$\begin{pmatrix}-6&-8&-2\\ 0&\frac{1}{3}&-\frac{11}{3}\end{pmatrix}$

Now we can continue canceling the leading coefficient in each row, and finally reach the following matrix.

$\begin{bmatrix}1&0&|&15\\ 0&1&|&-11\end{bmatrix}$

As you can see our solution is x = 15, y = - 11 or (15, - 11).

Ms. Anguiano is enjoying a bicycle ride on a country road

GalinKa [24]

Answer:

The rate is 13 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to solve the problem

- Jim lives three miles east of State College

- At noon, he leaves his house and begins to walk due east at a

constant speed of 2 miles per hour

- Annie lives four miles north of State College

- At noon, she leaves her house and begins to bicycle due north at a

constant speed of 8 miles per hour

- The east is perpendicular to the north

* Lets solve the problem

∵ At noon means 12 p.m

∵ They moved till 1 p.m

∵ Jim walked for 1 hour and Annie bicycled for 1 hour

∵ The rate of Jim is 2 miles per hour

∵ The rate of Annie is 8 miles per hour

- The distance = rate × time

∴ Jim walked = 2 × 1 = 2 miles

∴ Annie bicycled = 8 × 1 = 8 miles

- Lets calculate the distance of Jim from the State College till his

position at 1 p.m

∵ Jim lives three miles east of State College

∴ His distance at 1 p.m = 3 + 2 = 5 miles east

- Lats calculate the distance of Annie from the State College till her

position at 1 p.m

∵ Annie lives four miles north of State College

∴ Her distance at 1 p.m = 4 + 8 = 12 miles North

- Lets find the distance between them at 1 p.m

∵ The north ⊥ east

- Use Pythagoras Theorem to find the distance

∴ The distance = √(5² + 12)² = √(25 + 144) = √169 = 13 miles

- The rate = distance/time

∵ The distance between them is 13 miles in 1 hour

∴ The rate = 13/1 = 13 miles per hour

* The rate is 13 miles per hour

Which equation with exponential expression are true?

Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:B and E

It is B and E because it’s exponent matches the equation. In B, there are 2 fives and the exponential form shows 5 to the power of 2. In E, there are 6 sevens and the exponential form shows 7 to the power of 6.
