solve the linear system of equations using the linear combination method.
4x-9y=20
2x-6y=16

Answers

Answer 1

The solution is (-4,4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equations are:

[tex]4x-9y = 20\ \ \ \ Eqn1\\2x-6x = 16\ \ \ \ Eqn2[/tex]

In linear combination method, we have to make coefficients of any one variable opposites by multiplying with an integer

So multiplying 2nd equation by -2

[tex]-2(2x-6y=16)\\-4x+6y=-32\ \ \ \ Eqn3[/tex]

Adding Equation 1 and Equation 3:

[tex]4x-9y-4x+12y = 20-32\\3y = -12[/tex]

Dividing both sides by 3

[tex]\frac{3y}{3} = \frac{-12}{3}\\y = -4[/tex]

Putting y=-4 in equation 1

[tex]4x-9(-4) = 20\\4x +36= 20\\4x = 20-36\\4x = -16[/tex]

Dividing both sides by 4

[tex]\frac{4x}{4} = \frac{-16}{4}\\x = -4[/tex]

Hence,

The solution is (-4,4)

A wooden board is 3 yards and 1 foot long what is a equivalent length

Answers

Final answer:

To find an equivalent length for a wooden board that is 3 yards and 1 foot long, you convert yards to feet, using the fact that 1 yard equals 3 feet, and then add any remaining feet. The board is therefore 10 feet long in total.

Explanation:

Converting Yards to Feet:

A wooden board is 3 yards and 1 foot long. To find an equivalent length, we need to convert yards to feet because there are 3 feet in 1 yard. The calculation goes as follows:

 First, we know that 1 yard equals 3 feet.

 To convert 3 yards to feet, we multiply by 3: 3 yards × 3 feet/yard = 9 feet.

 Next, we add the extra foot: 9 feet + 1 foot = 10 feet.

 Therefore, the board is 10 feet long in total.

This process involves using equalities and conversion factors to change one unit of measurement to another while maintaining the same quantity.

A man weight 245 pounds. He lost 40 pounds in 5 months. Then he gain 25 pounds 4 months later. What percent of his weight did he lose in the first 5 months

The length of a picture frame is 8 inches more than the width. For what values of x is the perimeter of the picture frame greater than 152 inches.

Answers

For, "x" greater than 34, the perimeter of the picture frame greater than 152 inches

Solution:

Let "x" be the width of the frame

Given that, The length of a picture frame is 8 inches more than the width

Therefore,

Length = width + 8

Length = x + 8

The perimeter of rectangle is given by formula:

Perimeter = 2(length + width)

Substituting the values we get,

Perimeter = 2(x + 8 + x)

Perimeter = 2(2x + 8)

Perimeter = 4x + 16

The perimeter of the picture frame greater than 152 inches

Perimeter > 152

[tex]4x + 16>152\\\\\text{Subtract 16 from both sides of inequality}\\\\4x + 16 - 16 > 152 - 16\\\\4x>136\\\\\text{Divide both sides by 4}\\\\x>34[/tex]

Therefore, for, "x" greater than 34, the perimeter of the picture frame greater than 152 inches

The recommended angle for a wheelchair ramp is 5 degrees. If the rise of the ramp to go up the steps is 5 feet, find the horizontal run length that the ramp must start. (Round to one decimal place)

Answers

Answer:

[tex]57.2\ ft[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The formula of slope is "rise over run", where the "rise" (means change in y, up or down) and the "run" (means change in x, left or right)

In this problem

The tangent of angle of 5 degrees is equal to the quotient of "rise over run"

Let

y ----> the rise of the ramp

x ----> the run of the ramp

[tex]tan(5^o)=\frac{y}{x}[/tex]

we have

[tex]y=5\ ft[/tex]

substitute and solve for x

[tex]tan(5^o)=\frac{5}{x}[/tex]

[tex]x=\frac{5}{tan(5^o)}[/tex]

[tex]x=57.2\ ft[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We have,

[tex]\dfrac{4}{5}[/tex] ÷ [tex]\dfrac{7}{6}[/tex] + [tex]\dfrac{2}{7}.2\dfrac{1}{5}[/tex]

To find, the value of [tex]\dfrac{4}{5}[/tex] ÷ [tex]\dfrac{7}{6}[/tex] + [tex]\dfrac{2}{7}.2\dfrac{1}{5}[/tex] = ?

[tex]\dfrac{4}{5}[/tex] ÷ [tex]\dfrac{7}{6}[/tex] + [tex]\dfrac{2}{7}.2\dfrac{1}{5}[/tex]

[tex]=\dfrac{4}{5}\times \dfrac{6}{7} +\dfrac{2}{7}.\dfrac{8}{5}[/tex]

[tex]=\dfrac{24}{35} +\dfrac{16}{35}[/tex]

Taking LCM of denominator, we get

[tex]=\dfrac{24+16}{35}[/tex]

[tex]=\dfrac{40}{35}[/tex]

Dividing numerator and denominator by 5, we get

[tex]=\dfrac{8}{7}[/tex]

∴ The value of [tex]\dfrac{4}{5}[/tex] ÷ [tex]\dfrac{7}{6}[/tex] + [tex]\dfrac{2}{7}.2\dfrac{1}{5}[/tex] [tex]=\dfrac{8}{7}[/tex]

Hence, the value of [tex]\dfrac{4}{5}[/tex] ÷ [tex]\dfrac{7}{6}[/tex] + [tex]\dfrac{2}{7}.2\dfrac{1}{5}[/tex] is equal to [tex]\dfrac{8}{7} .[/tex]

The expression 3 1/2x+18 represents the perimeter of the rectangle shown. Write an expression that represents the length of the rectangle.

Answers

Answer:the answer  is a

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

[tex]1\frac{1}{2}x + 4[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the Perimeter: P = Perimeter[tex]3\frac{1}{2}x + 18[/tex]    in decimal 3.5x+18

we know that a Perimeter is equal to all sides added up: S1+S2+S3+S4=P

we know that this is a rectangle so that means that it has 4 sides and two sides are the same and the other 2 are the same.

We are given the the height on the image

Height: H = [tex]\frac{1}{4}x + 5[/tex]  in decimal 0.25x + 5

That height is one side so we know another of the sides is the same.

Perimeter is equal to all sides added up. So we have to subtract the sides to find out each ones measurements.

(Height x 2) + (Width x 2) = Perimeter

Therefore we know the height which is given on the image is 0.25x+5 so that times 2 = 0.5x+10    (height x 2)

so now we can subtract the heights from the perimeter.

  3.5x  +  18

-  0.5x  +  10

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

  3x     +    8

So we got rid of both heights. Now we are left with our two lengths:

3x+8  = (length x 2)

To get the length of one side we divide that by 2 because there are 2 sides that have the same length and get 1.5x+4  in fractions that is:

  [tex]1\frac{1}{2}x + 4[/tex]

A man drove x miles per hour for 3e hours and (2x-60) miles per hour for the next 4.75 hours. Express the total distance he traveled in terms of x

Answers

Answer:

A man drove x miles per hour for 3 hours and (2x-60) miles per hour for the next 4.75 hours.Express the total distance traveled in terms of x.

Total distance covered by the man in terms of 'x' = (12.5x-285)miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Speed of  a man = 'x' miles/hour

Time taken = [tex]3[/tex] hour

So, distance = product of speed and time.

Distance covered in term of 'x' [tex]=(d_1=3x)[/tex]

Now,

Speed = [tex](2x-60)[/tex] miles/hour

Time taken= [tex]4.75[/tex] hours

Distance [tex](d_2)[/tex]  = [tex](2x-60)\times 4.75[/tex]

                      = [tex](2x\times 4.75) -(60\times 4.75)[/tex]

                      = [tex](9.5x - 285)[/tex] miles

Total distance covered by the man = Summation of  [tex]d_1[/tex] and [tex]d_2[/tex]

                                                           = [tex](9.5x-285+3x)[/tex]

                                                           = [tex](12.5x-285)[/tex] miles

So the total distance covered by the man in terms of 'x' = (12.5x-285) miles.

Which equation shows the correct use of the distributive property?

2b. 2x-1/2=-15
3c. -6x-2=-15
4d. -6x+2=-15

Answers

Answer: 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply 4 by 2/3 and 1/2 (calculator) or you can put 4 like 4/1 than multiply 4/1 *3/2 and 4/1 * 1/2

Top times top and bottom times bottom

The equation which shows the correct use of the distributive property is - 6x + 2 = -15

The Distributive Property is an algebraic property which is used to multiply a single term and two or more terms inside a parenthesis.

Given:

-4(3/2x - 1/2) = -15

multiply separately

-4(3/2x) -4(-1/2) = -15

-12/2x + 4/2 = -15

- 6x + 2 = -15

solve for x

-6x = -15 - 2

-6x = -17

x = -17/-6

x = 2.83

Therefore, the equation which shows the correct use of the distributive property is

- 6x + 2 = -15

The equation of a line is y = mx + b  [m is the slope, b is the y-intercept or the y value when x = 0  ---->  (0, y) or the point where the line goes through the y-axis]

To find the slope, you use the slope formula (m):

1.5k=13.5-3k (4.5-4.5=0, 18-4.5=13.5) (Next is to add 3k to each side)

4.5k=13.5 (1.5k+3k=4.5k, -3k+3k=0) (Last you divide both sides by 4.5)

k=3 (4.5/4.5=1, 13.5/4.5=3)

1/6x=2 how would you do that.

Answers

Answer:

Divide 2 by 1/6 and you should get the value of x.

Step-by-step explanation:

simple 2 step equation.

Answer: x = 12

Step-by-step explanation: In this equation, notice that x is being multiplied by a fraction. In this situation, in order to get x by itself, we must multiply both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of that fraction. The reciprocal of a fraction is just that fraction flipped so the reciprocal of 1/6 is just 6/1.

So here, in order to get x by itself, we multiply both sides of the equation by 6/1. On the left our 6's cancel and our 1's cancel and we're left with x. On the right we have 2 x 6 which simplifies to 12 so x = 12.

Ramon has 7/8 of a cup of cottage cheese. How many 1/4 cup servings can he make?

Answers

Answer:

Ramon can make 3 1/2 or 3.5 servings of 1/4 of a cup each one

Step-by-step explanation:

1. What information was given to us to answer the question correctly?

Amount of cottage cheese Ramon has = 7/8 of a cup

2. How many 1/4 cup servings can he make?

For answering this question, we make this calculation:

7/8 * 1/4

7/8 * 4/1 = 28/8 = 7/2 or 3 1/2 cup servings

This means that Ramon can make 3 1/2 or 3.5 servings of 1/4 of a cup each one:

1/4 + 1/4 + 1/4 + (1/2 * 1/4) = 7/8

3/4 + (1/2 * 1/4) = 7/8

3/4 + 1/8 = 7/8

6/8 + 1/8 = 7/8

7/8 = 7/8
