Write a system of equations to describe the situation below, solve using elimination, and fill in the blanks.

There are two mystery numbers. The sum of 10 times the first number and 5 times the second number is -15. The sum of 6 times the first number and 2 times the second number is -10. What are the two numbers? please explain

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

  -2 and 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The two "mystery numbers" are described by two relations. We can assign variables to those numbers, and write a system of equations that express the given relations.

__

Let x and y represent the first and second mystery numbers, respectively. The first relation tells us ...

  10x +5y = -15

The second relation tells us ...

  6x +2y = -10

We can reduce both of these equations to lowest terms by factoring out the common factor of 5 from the first one and 2 from the second one:

2x +y = -33x +y = -5

__

We are told to solve this using elimination. We can eliminate the y-variable by subtracting the first equation from the second:

  (3x +y) -(2x +y) = (-5) -(-3)

  x = -2 . . . . . . . . . . simplify

  2(-2) +y = -3 . . . . substitute for y

  y = 1 . . . . . . . . . . add 4

The two numbers are -2 and 1.

Select the reason that best
supports Statement 6 in the
given proof.
A. Transitive Property
B. Subtraction Property of Equality
C. Substitution
D. Division Property of Equality
AB=18

Answers

Answer: Subtraction property of equality

Step-by-step explanation:

They subtracted 6 from both sides to get AB=18.

The best reason is Subtraction Property of Equality.

The correct option is (B)

What is Subtraction Property of Equality?

The subtraction property of equality states that when the same number is subtracted from both sides of an equality, then the two sides of the equation still remain equal.

Given:

AB + 6 = 24

So,

AB= 24-6

AB = 18 (Subtraction Property of Equality)

Hence, the best reason is Subtraction Property of Equality.

Factor the polynomials comletely, then solve 9x^2 +66x+21 = 0​

Answers

Answer:

x= -1/3

x = -7

Step-by-step explanation:

9x^2 +66x+21 = 0​

a=9 b=66 c=21

quadratic formula

x=(-b +/- square root of (b^2 – 4ac))/(2a)

x = (-66 +/- square root of (66^2 -4*9*21))/(2*9)

x = (-66 +/- square root of (4356 -756))/(18)

x = (-66 +/- square root of (3600))/(18)

x = (-66 +/- 60)/18

split the fraction

(-66 +/- 60)/18 = -6/18 and -126/18 because of the +/-

x = -6/18  x = -126/18

x = -1/3   x = -7

[tex]~~~~~~9x^2+66x+21 = 0\\\\\implies 3(3x^2+22x+7)=0\\\\\implies 3x^2+22x+7=0\\\\\implies 3x^2 +21x +x +7=0\\\\\implies 3x(x+7) +(x+7)=0\\\\\implies (x+7)(3x+1)=0\\\\\implies x = -7~~ \text{or}~~ x =-\dfrac 13[/tex]

Answers

50:1 scale drawing -> Both sides of the garden is shrinked by 50 times.

We can calculate the area of the shrinked scale drawing : 12 x 10.5 = 126 (cm2)

Since both sides are shrinked by 50 times -> The real area get shrinked by 2500 times.

So, we can find the real area : 126 x 2500 = 315000 (cm2)

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio's can be expressed as fractions and you may compare those.

5 : 8 = 5/87 : 9 = 7/9

In order to compare fractions you need to bring them into equal denominator.

8 and 9 have LCM of 8*9 = 72 since they have no common factors.

The equivalent fractions with common denominator are:

5/8 = 9*5/(9*8) = 45/727/9 = 8*7/(8*9) = 56/72

Now we can compare the fractions:

45/72 < 56/72, since 45 < 56

The blueprint for the Moreno​'s living room has a scale of . The family wants to 2 inches= 3 feet use a scale of 1 inch =4 feet. What is the width of the living room on the new​ blueprint?

Answers

Answer:

If I am understanding the question correctly, every 6 feet in real life will be equivalent to 1 inch "on paper", or in the blueprint. Using dimensional analysis, which is a methodology for converting from one unit to another, we have:

18 feet * 1 inch / 6 feet = 3 inches

On the other axis,

24 feet * 1 inch / 6 feet = 4 inches

Therefore, the blueprint for this 18x24 foot room, with a scale of 6 feet:1inch, should be 3x4 inches.
