Solve each pair of simultaneous equations giving both solutions. You need to multiply both equations by suitable numbers before

adding \subtracting to eliminate.

3x + 2y = 54

b) 4x - 5y = 12
2x - 3y = 8


c) 4x - 2y = 28
3x + 3y = 12

Answer:

a) x = 12  y = 9

b) x = -2   y = -4

c) x = 6   y = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

Equation 1:  6x - 7y = 9

Equation 2:  3x + 2y = 54

Multiply Equation 2 by 2:

⇒ 6x + 4y = 108

Subtract equations:

   6x + 4y = 108

<u>-    6x - 7y = 9      </u>

           11y = 99

Divide both sides by 11:

⇒ y = 9

Substitute found value of y into Equation 1 and solve for x:

⇒ 6x - 7(9) = 9

⇒ 6x - 63 = 9

⇒ 6x = 72

⇒ x = 12

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

b)

Equation 1:  4x - 5y = 12

Equation 2:  2x - 3y = 8

Multiply Equation 2 by 2:

⇒ 4x - 6y = 16

Subtract equations:

   4x - 6y = 16

<u>-   4x - 5y = 12      </u>

           -y = 4

Divide both sides by -1:

⇒ y = -4

Substitute found value of y into Equation 1 and solve for x:

⇒ 4x - 5(-4) = 12

⇒ 4x + 20 = 12

⇒ 4x = -8

⇒ x = -2

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

c)

Equation 1:  4x - 2y = 28

Equation 2:  3x + 3y = 12

Multiply Equation 1 by 3:

⇒ 12x - 6y = 84

Multiply Equation 2 by 4:

⇒ 12x + 12y = 48

Subtract equations:

     12x - 6y = 84

<u>-   12x + 12y = 48   </u>

            -18y = 36

Divide both sides by -18:

⇒ y = -2

Substitute found value of y into Equation 1 and solve for x:

⇒ 4x - 2(-2) = 28

⇒ 4x + 4 = 28

⇒ 4x = 24

⇒ x = 6

So i'm really confused how do you get 3 5/12 in this question? Manson bought 8 1/4 feet of wire. He cut off a piece of wire 3 5/
GaryK [48]

Answer:

r = π C , C = 12 − x , t h e n r = π ( 12 − x ) = 12 π − π x

Step-by-step explanation:

So cutting the wire of 12 m in length into two pieces, x and 12-x. The x side will be made into the square so that the square has sides x/4 and an area of (x/4)^2. This means the length of the wire 12-x will be the circumference of the circle. So if: r = π C , C = 12 − x , t h e n r = π ( 12 − x ) = 12 π − π x i hope this is correct

The graph below shows the height of a tunnel f(x), in feet, depending on the distance from one side of the tunnel x, in feet:
denis23 [38]
Part A) x-intercepts simply show that when the value of the function is zero. Vertex coordinates show that when the function obtains its maximum value. When x=50, function obtains its maximum value and it's 75. The function is increasing in the interval (0, 50) and decreasing in the interval (50, 100). In regard to the height and distance of the tunnel, these numbers show that decreasing and increasing intervals are symmetric. Each number from the intervals has its own pair in the corresponding interval and they are located in the same distance from the midpoint (50,75)

Part B) In order to calculate the average rate of change, we can first write the function. Using the information about the x-intercept and the vertex coordinates, we find that our function is f(x)=-0.03x^{2}+3x.
Plugging 15 and 35 in x, we can find the values of the function, i.e. 
f(15)=38.25 and f(35)=68.25.
Then, the average change is \frac{68.25-38.25}{35-15}=1.5
