Choose a system of equations with the same solution as the following system:
6x + 2y = -6
3x – 4y = -18​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

x = -2 and y = 3

{y = -3 x - 3, y = (3 x)/4 + 9/2} = x = -2 and y = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve the following system:

{6 x + 2 y = -6

3 x - 4 y = -18

Express the system in matrix form:

(6 | 2

3 | -4)(x

y) = (-6

-18)

Solve the system with Cramer's rule:

x = -6 | 2

-18 | -4/6 | 2

3 | -4 and y = 6 | -6

3 | -18/6 | 2

3 | -4

Evaluate the determinant 6 | 2

3 | -4 = -30:

x = -6 | 2

-18 | -4/(-30) and y = 6 | -6

3 | -18/(-30)

Simplify -6 | 2

-18 | -4/(-30):

x = -1/30 -6 | 2

-18 | -4 and y = 6 | -6

3 | -18/(-30)

Simplify 6 | -6

3 | -18/(-30):

x = -(-6 | 2

-18 | -4)/30 and y = -1/30 6 | -6

3 | -18

Evaluate the determinant -6 | 2

-18 | -4 = 60:

x = (-1)/30×60 and y = -(6 | -6

3 | -18)/30

(-1)/30×60 = -2:

x = -2 and y = -(6 | -6

3 | -18)/30

Evaluate the determinant 6 | -6

3 | -18 = -90:

x = -2 and y = (-1)/30×-90

(-1)/30 (-90) = 3:

Answer: x = -2 and y = 3

___________________________________________

Solve the following system:

{y = -3 x - 3

y = (3 x)/4 + 9/2

Express the system in standard form:

{3 x + y = -3

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

Express the system in matrix form:

(3 | 1

-3/4 | 1)(x

y) = (-3

9/2)

Write the system in augmented matrix form and use Gaussian elimination:

(3 | 1 | -3

-3/4 | 1 | 9/2)

Add 1/4 × (row 1) to row 2:

(3 | 1 | -3

0 | 5/4 | 15/4)

Multiply row 2 by 4/5:

(3 | 1 | -3

0 | 1 | 3)

Subtract row 2 from row 1:

(3 | 0 | -6

0 | 1 | 3)

Divide row 1 by 3:

(1 | 0 | -2

0 | 1 | 3)

Collect results:

Answer:  {x = -2 , y = 3

Answers

Answer:

the option 3 says that the volume of box is true.as volume of box is calculated by (v)= l×b×h

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume is a cubic measure. That means that the label you get for volume is the length cubed. For example, if the sides of that box were meaured in inches, your label would be in inches cubed. To get a length cubed, you would multiply. If each of the length, width, and height all measured x, then our volume expression would be x*x*x which is x-cubed.

That should tell you that to find the volume of the box shown, you have to multiply the length, width, and height together. The option you want is C. The word "product" means to multiply, in case that was an issue with determining the correct answer.

Answers

Jerry is paving the parking spot shown in the attached file below.

It costs $ 50  to pave each square meter. Find the cost to pave the parking spot  [tex]6 \dfrac{1}{4}\ m[/tex].

Answer:

$1250

Step-by-step explanation:

From the image attached below;

The paving of Jerry around the parking spot assume a shape of parallelogram.

However, in order to find the cost to pave the parking spot, we need to first determine the area of the assume shape of the parking spot (i.e parallelogram)

Area of a parallelogram = Base × height

where;

the base = 4m

the height = [tex]6 \dfrac{1}{4}\ m[/tex]

Area of a parallelogram = [tex]4 \times 6 \dfrac{1}{4}[/tex]

Area of a parallelogram = [tex]4 \times \dfrac{25}{4}[/tex]

Area of a parallelogram = 25 m²

Since it cost $50 to pave 1 square meter;

The cost to  pave 25 m² area of the parking spot is

= 25 × 50

= $1250

Answer:

1250

Step-by-step explanation:

The parking space is in the shape of a parallelogram, so to find the area needed to pave it, you will use the formula for finding area of a parallelogram.

A = 4 x 6 1/4

A = 25 square meters

You will pave 25 square meters.

25 x 50 = 1250

The Jerry will pay $1250.

a man bought second hand bicycle for rs 1120 and spend rs160 to repair it. he sold it for rs1344, find his profit or loss percent ​

Answers

Answer:

5 %

Solution,

Total Cost price (CP) = Rs 1120 + Rs 160

= Rs 1280

Selling Price (SP) = Rs 1344

Here,

SP > CP , so he made profit.

Amount of profit = SP - CP

= Rs 1344 - Rs 1280

= Rs 64

Now, finding the profit percent,

Profit %=[tex] \frac{profit \: }{cp} \times 100 \: percent[/tex]

[tex] \frac{64}{1280} \times 100 \: percent[/tex]

Jordan lives 6 kilometers due south of his parents' house and 4 kilometers west of his grandparents' house. On his birthday, Jordan drove from his house to his parents' house. From there, he drove in a straight line to his grandparents' house and then back home. How far did Jordan drive on his birthday? If necessary, round to the nearest tenth.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The direction of movement of Jordan on his birthday forms a right angle triangle. His movement from his house to his parents due south represents the opposite side of the right angle triangle. His movement due west represents the adjacent side and the movement back home along the straight line, d represents the hypotenuse. To determine d, we would apply the Pythagorean theorem. Thus

d² = 6² + 4² = 52

d = √52 = 7.2 km

The total distance that he drove on his birthday is

6 + 4 + 7.2 = 17.2 km

The two cones are similar. (a) Write down the value of l. (b) When full, the larger cone contains 172 cm3 of water. How much water does the smaller cone contain when it isfull?

Answers

Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

a. Since both cones, as shown in the figure attached below, are similar, 11/8 = l/4

Cross multiply to find l

4*11 = 8*l

44 = 8l

l = 44/8

l = 5.5cm

b. Given the slant height and diameter of cone, volume of cone can be calculated using the formula ⅓πr²*√(l² - r²)

Where, r = diameter ÷ 2 = 4/2 = 2cm

l = 5.5cm

Volume of smaller cone = ⅓*3.142*2²*√(5.5² - 2²)

= ⅓*3.142*4*√30.25 - 4)

= ⅓*12.568*√26.25

= ⅓*12.568*5.124

= 64.40/3

Volume of small cone ≈ 21.5 cm³

The probability that Stu buys a sandwich is 0.5.
The probability that Stu gets the bus is 0.7.
Assuming the events are independent, what is the probability that Stu buys a sandwich and gets the bus?

Answers

Answer:

probability that Stu buys a sandwich and gets the bus = 0.35

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability of success of two independent events is the product of the respective probabilities, i.e. the multiplication rule.

P(Sandwich) = P(S) = 0.5

P(Bus) = P(B) = 0.7

Assuming the events are independent,

probability that Stu buys a sandwich and gets the bus

= P(SB) = P(S)*P(B) = 0.5*0.7 = 0.35

Answer: 0.35

Step-by-step explanation:

First there is a 50% chance, or a 0.5 chance that Stu gets a sandwich.  Then, ignoring the other .5, there is a .7 chance that he makes the bus.  Thus, 1/2 of .7 is 0.35.
