As a first step in solving the system shown, Yumiko multiplies both sides of the equation 2x – 3y = 12 by 6. By what factor should she multiply both sides of the other equation so that she can add the equations and eliminate a variable?

5x + 6y = 18
2x – 3y = 12

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we can start by multiplying the equation 2x - 3y = 12 by six to see where that gets us,

2x - 3y = 12 --> 12x - 18y = 72

12x - 18y = 72

5x + 6y = 18 (other equation)

We can notice that eliminating the y term would be the easiest to go about, so we want to find the number that we can multiply 6 by to get 18. That number is 3, so the factor is 3.

Answer 2

You can use the fact that non of 2 times 6 doesn't include 5 as factor.

There are two possible values of the factor by which if Yumiko multiplies the first equation and add the equations, a variable is eliminated.

Those values of the factor are [tex]3[/tex]   (for elimination of y) or [tex]-\dfrac{12}{5}[/tex] (for elimination of x)

How to find by what factor should we multiply the equations to eliminate a variable in a system of linear equations of two or more variables?

Our aim in doing so is to make the coefficients of same variable equal and with opposite signs so that when we add the equations, that variable gets eliminated because of coefficient becoming zero.

For example, take the given equations and the factor by which Yumiko multiplied the second equation.

5x + 6y = 18

2x – 3y = 12 => 12x - 18y = 72   (since she multiplied this with 6)

Let she multiply the first equation with factor "p"

Then we will have the system as;

[tex]p \times 5x + p \times 6y = p \times 18\\12x - 18y = 72[/tex]

Adding both the equations, we get:

[tex](5p + 12)x + (6p - 18)y = 18p + 72[/tex]

Since there are two variables and since any one of them can be eliminated depending on the value of p, thus we have two cases:

Case 1: Eliminated variable is x

Then we have coefficient of x = 0

or

[tex]5p + 12 = 0\\5p = -12\\p = -\dfrac{12}{5}\\[/tex]

Case 2: Eliminated variable is y

Then we have coefficient of y = 0

or

[tex]6p - 18 = 0\\6p = 18\\p = \dfrac{18}{6} = 3[/tex]

Thus, there are two possible values of the factor by which if Yumiko multiplies the first equation and add the equations, a variable is eliminated.

Those values of the factor are [tex]3[/tex]  or [tex]-\dfrac{12}{5}[/tex]

Meliah wants to make a gallon of punch. She uses 2 quarts of orange juice, 1 cup of lemon juice, and 2 1/2 pints of pineapple juice. How many cups of water should she add to make 1 gallon?

Answers

Answer:

2 cups of water

Step-by-step explanation:

Meliah wants to make a gallon of punch.

Note that

1 gallons = 16 cups

For Orange juice

She uses 2 quarts of orange juice,

1 quart = 4 cups

2 quarts = x

Cross Mulitiply

2 × 4 cups = 8 cups

For lemon juice

1 cup of lemon juice

For pineapple juice

2 1/2 pints of pineapple juice.

1 pint = 2 cups

2 1/2 pints = x

Cross Mulitiply

2 1/2 × 2 cups = 5 cups

Total number of cups

= 8 cups orange juice + 1 cup lemon juice + 5 cups of pineapple juice

= 14 cups

Hence, the number of cups of water she should add to make 1 gallon is calculated as:

16 cups - 14 cups

= 2 cups of water

Which table corresponds to the function y = -3x + 11?

Answers

Answer:

im not a 100% sure but i think its the 3rd one

The third table represents the linear function y = -3x + 11 so option (C) is correct.

What is a linear function?

A straight line on the coordinate plane is represented by a linear function.

A linear function always has the same and constant slope.

The formula for a linear function is f(x) = ax + b, where a and b are real values.

As per the given function,

y = -3x + 11

Put x = 0

y = -3 x 0 + 11 = 11

Put x = 1

y = -3(1) + 11 = 8

Put x = 2

y = -3 x 2 + 11 = 5

Since the values in table third are satisfied thus it will be correct.

Hence "The linear equation for the third table is y = -3x + 11.".

Step-by-step explanation:

A rep hockey team has two goalies. Goalie A has a save percentage of 0.92 and Goalie B has a save percentage of 0.89. If goalie A plays 75 percent of the games and goalie B plays 25 percent of the games then: a) Determine the probability that a save has been made by either goalie A or goalie B. b) If a save has been made, what is the probability that is was goalie A? c) If a goal was let in, what is the probability it was goalie B?

Answers

Answer:

a) 0.9125

b) 0.756

c) 0.314

Step-by-step explanation:

The save percentage of Goalie A = 0.92

The save percentage of Goalie B = 0.89

The percentage of the games Goalie A plays = 75 percent

The percentage of the games Goalie B plays = 25 percent

a) The probability that a save has been made by either Goalie A or Goalie B

Therefore we get;

The probability that Goalie A made a save, P(A) = 0.92 × 0.75 = 0.69

The probability that Goalie B made a save, P(B) = 0.89 × 0.25 = 0.2225

For mutually exclusive events, we have;

P(A) or P(B)  = P(A) + P(B)

∴ P(A) or P(B) = 0.69 + 0.2225 = 0.9125

The probability that a save has been made by either Goalie A or Goalie B, P(A) or P(B) = 0.9125

b) Where there are 10,000 attempts, made evenly in all games, we have;

The number of attempts made with Goalie A playing = 10,000 × 0.75 = 7,500

The number of saves Goalie A makes = 0.92 × 7,500 = 6,900

The number of saves for 10,000 attempt = (P(A) or P(B)) × 10,000 = 0.9125 × 10,000

The number of saves for 10,000 attempt = 9,125

∴ The probability that Goalie A saves = 6,900/9,125 ≈ 0.756

c) Out of the 2,500 attempts at Goalie B, the number of goals let in is given as follows;

P(Goal B) = 2,500 - 2,500 × 0.89 = 275

The number of goals let in by Goalie A, we have;

P(Goal A) = 7,500 - 7,500 × 0.92 = 600

Therefore, the total number of goals let in = 300 + 275 = 875

The probability that the goals was let in by Goalie B = 275/875 = 11/35 ≈ 0.314.

Answers

Answer:

25/28

Step-by-step explanation:

28 is the greatest common factor, found by multiplying 7 by 4 (the denominators)

1/7 = 4/28

3/4 = 21/28

21/28 + 4/28 = 25/28

An Brainly Question:

Whats 1/7 + 3/4 ?

Answer:

25/28

Step-by-step explanation:

Can you add yet? Nope! The denominators don't match. We need a common denominator. So next we take both denominators and multiply them. Next, take each numerator and multiply it by the denominator of the other term.

So, we multiply 1 by 4, and get 4, then we multiply 7 by 4 and get 28.

Let's add

+

Step 1

Can you add yet? Nope! The denominators don't match. We need a common denominator. So next we take both denominators and multiply them. Next, take each numerator and multiply it by the denominator of the other term.

So, we multiply 1 by 4, and get 4, then we multiply 7 by 4 and get 28.

1/7 times 4

Now for the second term. You multiply 3 by 7, and get 21, then multiply 7 by 4 and get 28.

3/4 times 7

We now have a new problem, that looks like this:

4

28

+

21

28

Step 2

Since our denominators match, we can add the numerators.

4 + 21 = 25

That gives us the sum, which is

25

28

Step 3

Now, do we need to simplify this fraction?

First, we attempt to divide it by 2...

Nope! So now we try the next greatest prime number, 3...

Nope! So now we try the next greatest prime number, 5...

Nope! So now we try the next greatest prime number, 7...

Nope! So now we try the next greatest prime number, 11...

Nope! So now we try the next greatest prime number, 13...

Nope! So now we try the next greatest prime number, 17...

Nope! So now we try the next greatest prime number, 19...

Nope! So now we try the next greatest prime number, 23...

Nope! So now we try the next greatest prime number, 29...

No good. 29 is larger than 25. So we're done reducing.

There you have it! Here's the final answer to 1/7 + 3/4

¿Cuál es el volumen en pulgadas cúbicas de una esfera cuya circunferencia mide 64 pulgadas?

Answers

Answer:

4445.18 pulgadas cúbicas

Step-by-step explanation:

Paso 1

La fórmula para la circunferencia de una esfera = 2πr

Circunferencia de una esfera = 64 pulgadas

Por eso,

64 = 2πr

Por lo tanto, encontramos r

Dividir ambos lados por 2π

64 / 2π = 2πr / 2π

r = 10.185916358 pulgadas

Radio r = 10.2 pulgadas

Paso 2

Volumen de una esfera

= 4/3 × π × r³

r = 10.2 pulgadas

Por lo tanto, 4/3 × π × (10.2) ³

= 4445.18 pulgadas cúbicas

Por lo tanto, el volumen en pulgadas cúbicas de una esfera = 4445.18 pulgadas cúbicas

Answers

Answer:

x = number of stickers Keisha and chen received

x - 1 = number of stickers Angie received

Total stickers = 125

125 = x + x + (x - 1)

125 = 2x + x - 1

125 + 1 = 3x

126 = 3x

x = 126/3

x = 42 stickers

x = number of stickers Keisha and chen received = 42 stickers

x - 1 = number of stickers Angie received = 42 - 1 = 41 stickers
