find the numbers.

Answers

Answer 1
They are 5 and minus 2

You have to solve the system of equations
2(a-b)=14
a+b=3
Answer 2
Let, x+y = 3
2(x-y) = 14

Substitute value from eq (1) in eq (2),
2(3-y-y) = 14
2(3-2y) = 14
6-4y = 14
-4y = 8
y = -2

Put it into eq (1),
x-2 = 3
x = 5

So, x = 5 & y = -2

Hope this helps!

What is the result if you divide -12x8y8 by 3x4y2? ...?

Answers

Answer:

-4x⁴y⁶

Step-by-step explanation:

To divide -12x⁸y⁸ by 3x⁴y², we can apply the rules of division for exponents.

When dividing variables with the same base, we subtract the exponents:

x⁸ / x⁴ = x⁸-⁴ = x⁴

Similarly, y⁸ / y² = y⁸-² = y⁶

Now, let's divide the coefficients:

-12 / 3 = -4

Putting it all together, the result of dividing -12x⁸y⁸ by 3x⁴y² is:

-4x⁴y⁶

x=7/10, you could work backwards to find y if it asked

Answer:  The correct option is (B) [tex]10x=7.[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:  The given equations are :

[tex]3x+y=3~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)\\\\x-3y=-2~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(ii)[/tex]

We are to select the correct result if the first equation is multiplied by 3 and then added to the second equation.

Now, multiplying equation (i) by 3, we get

[tex]3(3x+y)=3\times 3\\\\\Rightarrow 9x+3y=9~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(iii)[/tex]

adding equation (iii) to equation (ii), we get

[tex](9x+3y)+(x-3y)=9+(-2)\\\\\Rightarrow 9x+3y+x-3y=9-2\\\\\Rightarrow 10x=7.[/tex]

Thus, the required result is [tex]10x=7.[/tex]

Option (B) is CORRECT.

Is the area between y = 1/x and y = 1/x^2 on the interval from x = 1 to finite or infinite?

Answers

Based on the given figure above, we can say that the area between y = 1/x and y = 1/x^2 on the interval from x = 1 is infinite. It is considered infinite because 1/x is infinite and integral 1/x2 is considered finite, and this makes the result infinite. Hope that this answer helps.

Three identical coins, labeled A, B, and C in the figure, lie on three corners of a square 10.0 cm on a side. Determine the x coordinate of each coin, xA, xB, and xC.

Answers

The line of symmetry of the triangle bisects the right angle and the diagonal of the square.
The line is 1/2 the length of the square's diagonal :

(1/2)(10√2) = 5√2. 

Let CG be a distance x from the vertex of the right angle in the triangle.
Remaining distance = 5√2 - x. 

(1)(x) = (2)(5√2 - x)
x = 10√2 - 2x
3x = 10√2 
x = (10/3)√2. 

Using Pythagorean theorem,
x^2 + y^2 = c^2
 
c = (10/3)√2,
and x = y,
so 2x^2 = 200/9
x = √(100/9) = 10/3 = y. 

x = y = 3.333

jamal is 167 cm tall which expression expression finds jamals height in dekametres

B.167 times 1000
C.167 divided by 100
D.167 divided by 1000

Answers

D

167 cm = 1.67m
1.67m = 0.167dm

D. 167/1000 = 0.167

Jamal's height can be converted to dekametres by dividing his height in centimeters (167 cm) by 1000, because there are 1000 centimeters in a dekametre.

To convert Jamal's height from centimeters to dekametres, we should recall that 1 dekametre equals 10 meters or 1000 centimeters. Since Jamal is 167 cm tall, we need to divide his height in centimeters by the number of centimeters in a dekametre to get his height in dekametres.

Therefore, the correct expression to find Jamal's height in dekametres is:

167 divided by 1000

This is option D: 167 / 1000.

The formula for the circumference of a circle is C = 2r, where r is the radius and C is the circumference. The equation solved for r is r = .
Find the radius of a circle that has a circumference of 16.

Answers

The answer is r = C/2π; r = 8/π

C = 2πr

Divide both sides by 2π:
C/2π = 2πr/2
C/2π = r

r = C/2π
C = 16
r = 16/2π
r = 8/π

Answer: 8 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The formula for the circumference of a circle is [tex]C=2\pi r[/tex], where r is the radius and C is the circumference.

To solve equation for r , we divide [tex]2\pi[/tex] on both sides, we get

[tex]r=\dfrac{C}{2\pi}[/tex]

Now, the circumference of the circle = [tex]16\pi \text{units.}[/tex]

Then, [tex]r=\dfrac{16\pi}{2\pi}=8\ \text{units}[/tex]

Hence, Circumference of the circle = 8 units

For Earth Day, the school plans to sell the following buttons to students and the community. The school will have to pay $18 for 15 dozen buttons. How much will the school have to pay for 50 dozen buttons?

Answers

Final answer:

The school will have to pay $60 for 50 dozen buttons, by using a proportional calculation based on the known cost of $18 for 15 dozen buttons.

Explanation:

The student's question involves calculating the cost of purchasing a larger quantity of buttons based on a known cost for a smaller quantity. To solve this, we will use proportional reasoning.

The school pays $18 for 15 dozen buttons. First, we find the cost for one dozen by dividing the total cost by the number of dozens:

$18 ÷ 15 dozen = $1.20 per dozen

Next, we calculate the cost for 50 dozen buttons by multiplying the cost per dozen by the number of dozens:

$1.20 per dozen × 50 dozen = $60

Therefore, the school will have to pay $60 for 50 dozen buttons.

the answer 
2x - y + z = -3          (1)
2x + 2y + 3z = 2       (2)

n is a positive integer.
Explain why n(n-1) must be an even number.

Answers

Let me assign n a number: 3 an easy value we can work with. If we substitute it into the equation we get:

3 * (3-1). According to BIDMAS/BODMAS, we must first work out the brackets and then multiple it by the 3.

Do 3-1 = 2, 2*3 = 6 which is an even number. If we try with an even number we also get an even number:

4-1 = 3, 3*4 = 12. Even if we try this with a number like 7, 9 or 10 - we will always get an even integer, this is because, whenever we multiple an even number with an even or odd number - we always get an even number. So when we take away 1 by an even number, and multiple it with an odd number, we get even. Same applies to when we take away an odd number by 1 to get an even number and then times it by an odd number - we always get even.

Find the perpendicular slope of the line 3X-9Y=15

Answers

According to (-b/a)
So --9/3=3
(-b/a) is the equation of the slope
3x - 9y = 15
-9y = -3x + 15
y = (-3/-9)x + (-15/9)
y = 1/3x - 5/3....slope here is 1/3. A perpendicular line will have a negative reciprocal slope.All that means is " flip " the slope and change the sign.
So our perpendicular slope will be : -3 ( I flipped 1/3 and it became 3/1 or just 3...I then changed the sign and it became -3)

so the perpendicular slope is -3

if y=15 when x=3/4, find x when y=25

Answers

If y=15 when x=3/4, then y=5 when x=1/4 because 15 and 3/4 are both divisible by 3. We have to find x when y=25, and 25 is divisible by 5, so to find x you have to multiply y=5 and x=1 by 5 for y to equal 25. 5 times 5 equals 25, and 1 times 5 equals 5, so when y=25, x=5. 

The value of the x is 5/4 when y=25 if y=15 when x=3/4 the answer would be 5/4

What is a proportional relationship?

It is defined as the relationship between two variables when the first variable increases, the second variable also increases according to the constant factor.

It is given that:

x and y are in a proportional relationship if y=15 when x=3/4,

y ∝ x

y = kx

15 = k(3/4)

k = 20

y = 20x

Plug y = 25

25 = 20x

x = 25/20

x = 5/4

Thus, the value of the x is 5/4 when y=25 if y=15 when x=3/4 the answer would be 5/4

The complete question is:

x and y are in a proportional relationship if y=15 when x=3/4, find x when y=25.

#SPJ2

An obtuse triangle with area 12 has two sides of lengths 4 and 10. Find the length of the third side. (There are two answers.) (Use law of cosines) ...?

Answers

Final answer:

Using the Law of Cosines, the length of the third side of the obtuse triangle is x = sqrt(52) or x = 2sqrt(13).

Explanation:

To find the length of the third side of an obtuse triangle with sides of lengths 4 and 10 and an area of 12, you can use the Law of Cosines. The Law of Cosines states that in a triangle with sides a, b, and c, and angle C opposite side c, the equation c^2 = a^2 + b^2 - 2ab * cos(C) can be used to find the length of side c.

In this case, let's assume that the third side of the triangle has length x. We can set up the equation as x^2 = 4^2 + 10^2 - 2*4*10 * cos(C), where C is the angle opposite side x.

Simplifying the equation, we get x^2 = 116 - 80*cos(C).

Since we know that the area of the triangle is 12, we can use the formula Area = 0.5 * a * b * sin(C) to find the value of sin(C). Plugging in the given values, we get 12 = 0.5 * 4 * 10 * sin(C). Solving for sin(C), we find sin(C) = 0.6.

Using this value of sin(C), we can then find the value of cos(C) by using the trigonometric identity sin^2(C) + cos^2(C) = 1. Substituting sin(C) = 0.6, we get 0.6^2 + cos^2(C) = 1. Solving for cos(C), we find cos(C) = 0.8.

Now, we can substitute the value of cos(C) into the equation x^2 = 116 - 80*cos(C), giving us x^2 = 116 - 80*0.8. Simplifying further, we get x^2 = 52, which means that the length of the third side is either x = sqrt(52) or x = -sqrt(52).

However, since we are dealing with the length of a side, it cannot be negative. Therefore, the length of the third side is x = sqrt(52), which simplifies to x = 2sqrt(13).

thats how we get 3x - 3 and we make it equal to 75 because we are comparing those 2 prices

So, answer is C.

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost of a pack of gum 20 years ago = x cents

Given, present cost of a pack of gum = 75 cents

Given, present cost of a pack of gum is 3 cents less than three times what the pack costs 20 years ago.

So,

[tex]75 + 3 =3x[/tex]

[tex]75= 3x -3[/tex]

[tex]3x-3=75[/tex]

Therefore,

Equation , [tex]3x-3=75[/tex]  , can be used to find the cost of the gum 20 years ago.
