Answer:

a = - 2, [tex]\frac{9}{4}[/tex] , b = 2, - [tex]\frac{1}{8}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Since x = 1, y = 2 is a solution to the equations , then substitute these values into the 2 equations and solve for a and b

a + 2b = 2 → (1)

b + 2a² = 10 → (2)

In (1) subtract 2b from both sides

a = 2 - 2b → (3)

Substitute a = 2 - 2b into (2)

b + 2(2 - 2b)² = 10 ← expand parenthesis using FOIL

b + 2(4 - 8b + 4b²) = 10 ( simplify left side )

b + 8 - 16b + 8b² = 10 ( subtract 10 from both sides )

8b² - 15b - 2 = 0

Consider the factors of the product of the coefficient of the b² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the b- term

product = 8 × - 2 = - 16 and sum = - 15

The factors are - 16 and + 1

Use these factors to split the b- term

8b² - 16b + b - 2 = 0 ( factor first/second and third/fourth terms )

8b(b - 2) + 1(b - 2) = 0 ← factor out (b - 2) from each term

(b - 2)(8b + 1) = 0

Equate each factor to zero and solve for b

b - 2 = 0 ⇒ b = 2

8b + 1 = 0 ⇒ 8b = - 1 ⇒ b = - [tex]\frac{1}{8}[/tex]

Substitute these values into (3) and evaluate for a

b = 2 ⇒ a = 2 - 2(2) = 2 - 4 = - 2

b = - [tex]\frac{1}{8}[/tex] ⇒ a = 2 - 2(- [tex]\frac{1}{8}[/tex] ) = 2 + [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] = 2 [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{9}{4}[/tex]

The possible values of a and b are 8, -3 or 9/4 , -1/8 respectively.

An equation is a combination of different variables, in which two mathematical expressions are equal to each other.

The given equations are,

ax + by = 2            (1)

and bx + a²y = 10        (2)

Also, x = 1 and y = 2 are the solution of the equation,

Substitute x = 1 and y = 2in equation (1),

a(1) + b(2) = 2

a + 2b = 2       (3)

Further substitute x = 1 and y = 2 in equation (2),

b(1) + a²(2)  = 10  

2a² + b = 10         (4)

By solving equation (3) and (4),

The possible values of a are 8 and 9/4.

And possible value of b are -3 and -1/8.

Answer:

23.5 feet per minute is the rate

Answer:

m= 4.5 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of miles Evelyn can run be m and can be modeled by the equation below

m= kx

Where x Is the Minutes

When m= 3

x= 40

3= k40

k= 3/40

If x= 60

m=3/40(60)

m = (60*3)/40

m= 180/40

m= 4.5 miles

The correct option is B. Distributive property

Given,

[tex]\frac{2}{3} x+7=-5\\[/tex]

On solving the above equation,

multiplying both sides by 3 we, get

[tex]2x+21=-15[/tex]

now subtracting 21 from both the sides,

[tex]2x=-36\\[/tex]

dividing both the sides by 2 we get,

[tex]x=-18[/tex]

Since in the above steps we follow all the giving property except the distributive property.

Hence the correct option is B. Distributive property.

Answer:

-x² + 3x + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

• f(x) = 3x + 1

• g(x) = x² - 6

Then,

According to th' question :-

(f - g)(x) = f(x) - g(x)

= 3x + 1 - (x² - 6)

= 3x + 1 - x² + 6

= -x² + 3x + 7

[tex]{\huge{\boxed{\mathbb{METHOD\:ONE}}[/tex]

Cross multiplication, cross multiplication involves algebra to use.

Let x be our answer for this problem. Here is our it would look like

[tex]\frac{6}{144}=\frac{15}{x}[/tex], now we will cross multiply, here is what it'd look like now.

[tex]6x=2160[/tex], then do simple algebra and divide both sides by 6. and then we get [tex]x=360[/tex] miles in 15 hours.

_________________

[tex]{\huge{\boxed{\mathbb{METHOD\:TWO}}[/tex]

For method two we can look for the unit rate. Also known as our rate for one.

divide 144 by 6 and we get 24, then multiply it by 15 and we get 360.

Answer:

y=-x+4

Step-by-step explanation:

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m=(1-6)/(3-(-2))

m=-5/(3+2)

m=-5/5

m=-1

y-y1=m(x-x1)

y-6=-1(x-(-2))

y-6=-(x+2)

y-6=-x-2

y=-x-2+6

y=-x+4

Answer: x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

The seat in the middle of the one-way route is 34

The seats are given as:

[tex]First= 0[/tex] --- the first seat behind the seat number 95

[tex]Last= 66[/tex] --- my seat

The seat number half-way would be:

[tex]Half = \frac{Last - First}{2} + 1[/tex]

This gives

[tex]Half = \frac{66- 0}{2} + 1[/tex]

Subtract 0 from 66

[tex]Half = \frac{66}{2} + 1[/tex]

Divide 66 by 2

[tex]Half = 33 + 1[/tex]

Add 33 and 1

[tex]Half = 34[/tex]

Hence, the seat in the middle of the one-way route is 34
