$y = 3x -2~~~.....(i)\\\\y = 2x-5~~~.....(ii)\\\\\text{Substitute equation (i) in equation (ii):}\\\\3x-2 = 2x -5\\\\\implies 3x -2x = -5+2\\\\\implies x = -3\\\\\text{Substitute}~ x =-3,~ \text{in equation (i):}\\\\y = 3(-3) -2 = -9 -2 = -11\\\\\text{Hence,}~ (x,y) = (-3,-11)$

Some girls in a Girl Scout troop are pairing up with some boys in a Boy Scout troop to practice square dancing. Two-thirds of th

Natalka [10]

Answer:

Fraction of the scouts are square dancing is $\frac{19}{30}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Each pair is one Girl Scout and one Boy Scout.

So, to the final fraction ( of the pairs) we are going to get 1/2 from the fraction of girls and 1/2 from the fraction of boys.

Girls= $\frac{2}{3} *\frac{1}{2} =\frac{2}{6}$

Boys= $\frac{3}{5} *\frac{1}{2} =\frac{3}{10}$

To get the fraction of the scouts that are square dancing, we have to add the fraction of girls , with the fraction of boys.

= $\frac{2}{6} +\frac{3}{10}$

= $\frac{(2*10) +(6*3)}{6*10} =\\ \frac{20+18}{60}$

= $\frac{38}{60}$

= $\frac{19}{30}$

This means that from 30 scouts , 19 are dancing.

Find the simplified product<br> ^3V9x^4 x ^3V3x^8

Kay [80]

$\sqrt[3]{9x^4}\cdot \sqrt[3]{3x^8}\implies \sqrt[3]{(9x^4)(3x^8)}\implies \sqrt[3]{27x^{4+8}}\implies \sqrt[3]{27x^{12}} \\\\\\ \sqrt[3]{3^3(x^4)^3}\implies 3x^4$
