What is the value of x in the solution to the system of equations below?
15x - 12y = 13

30x + 9y = 4

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the elimination method.

15x - 12y = 13

30x + 9y = 4

If you add both equations you will not cancel out any variables, so you need to multiply one of the equations by something. Multiply the first equation by -2 to cancel out the x values.

-2(15x - 12y = 13)

30x + 9y = 4

You should have these two equations now:

-30x + 24y = -26

30x + 9y = 4

Add them together now. You should get this now.

33y = -22

Divide both sides by 33. You should get y = -2/3

Now, substitute the y value into any of the two equations that you started with. Let's substitute the y value for the second equation.

30x + 9 (-2/3) = 4

30x - 6 = 4

30x = 10

30     30   (divide 30 and 10 by 30)

x = 1/3

Answer:

-1 -9i, where a = -1 and b = -9

Step-by-step explanation:

1st step is to open up the brackets. Since there's a (-) in front of the second bracket, we have to multiply every term by -1, so positive becomes negative, negative becomes positive etc.

4-i-5-8i

Then we collect like terms.

-1 -9i

This is the answer. It looks wrong since the variables are 'positive' in a +bi, but you have to remember that a variable can be represented as a, but its actual value could be negative, in this case -1. This is the same with b, as b could be the same as -9.

This is an expression, so we can't multiply everything by -1 to make it 'look right'. You can only multiply by -1 or 'alter' the terms when the expression equates to something.

What is the Equation of the Line Passes through the points (-4,8) and (1,3)

show work please, i need these asap and thx for trying :)

Answers

Answer: y = –x + 4

Explanation:

y=-x+4 is the Equation of the Line Passes through the points (-4,8) and (1,3).

What is Slope of Line?

The slope of the line is the ratio of the rise to the run, or rise divided by the run. It describes the steepness of line in the coordinate plane.

The slope intercept form of a line is y=mx+b, where m is slope and b is the y intercept.

The slope of line passing through two points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) is

m=y₂-y₁/x₂-x₁

The slope of line passing through points (-4,8) and (1,3)

m=3-8/1+4

=-5/5=-1

Now we need to find the y intercept

8=-1(-4)+b

8=4+b

b=4

Hence, y=-x+4 is the Equation of the Line Passes through the points (-4,8) and (1,3).

Jayanti takes shortest route to her home by walking diagonally across a rectangular park. The park measures 60 meters ×80 meters. How much shorter is the root across the park than the route around its edges?

Pls help!!! It's due today in about 6 hours!!!!! I would also like a proper explanation instead of the answer itself!!!!

Answers

Answer:

The route across the park is 40 meter shorter than the route around its edges.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to calculate the distance for both routes

As the route around the edges is straight,  we have to find the sum of length of both edges

Let [tex]R_E[/tex] be the distance of route around edges

[tex]R_E = 80+60 = 140\ meters[/tex]

Now we know that a diagonal divides a rectangle in two right angled triangles in which the diagonal is the hypotenuse.

We can use Pythagoras theorem to find the length of the diagonal

So,

[tex]H^2 = P^2 + B^2[/tex]

In the given scenario

P = 60

B = 80

Now

[tex]H^2 = (60)^2 + (80)^2\\H^2 = 3600+6400\\H^2 = 10000\\\sqrt{H^2} = \sqrt{10000}\\H = 100\ meters[/tex]

In order to calculate that how much shorter is the path across the park, we have to subtract the distance across park from the distance across edges.

[tex]= 140-100 = 40\ meters[/tex]

Hence,

The route across the park is 40 meter shorter than the route around its edges.

Solution:

Maximum value is obtained at vertex as a < 0

Vertex coordinate of x is:

x = -b/2a = -b / -2 = 1/2b

Solving for b:

35 = - (1/2b)² + b(1/2b) - 65- 1/4b² + 1/2b² = 1001/4b² = 100b² = 400b = √400b = ± 20

All the angles in a circle equal to 360 degrees. So basically just add up all the known values: 23+23+15=61 and then subtract that from 360: 360-61=299.

You can also do 23+23+15+x=360. Adding it all becomes 61+x=360, subtract 61 from both sides of the equation, and you get x=299.

(Something to help remember is that the angle is obtuse, meaning it’s automatically more than 90 degrees, hope this helps!)

Last year there were m members in a photography club.This year the number of members has increased by 10%m + 0.1m represents the number of members in the club this year.

So m represents the number of members in the club last year.

A 10% increase of the members = [tex]\frac{10}{100} * m[/tex] = 0.1m

Hence the number of members in the club this year = m + 0.1m
