Solve the simultaneous equations 2x + 4y = 1 3x - 5y = 7

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

(1.5, - 0.5 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

2x + 4y = 1 → (1)

3x - 5y = 7 → (2)

Multiplying (1) by 3 and (2) by - 2 and adding will eliminate the x- term

6x + 12y = 3 → (3)

- 6x + 10y = - 14 → (4)

Add (3) and (4) term by term to eliminate x

22y = - 11 ( divide both sides by 22 )

y = - 0.5

Substitute y = - 0.5 into either of the 2 equations and solve for x

Substituting into (1)

2x + 4(- 0.5) = 1

2x - 2 = 1 ( add 2 to both sides )

2x = 3 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 1.5

Solution is (1.5, - 0.5 )

20 POINTS + BRAINLIEST ||| Which of these scale factors will result in a reduction? A. 0 B. 1/2 C. 1 D. 5

Answers

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

When you dilate by a factor of 0, this doesn't really make sense because the length of each side is multiplied by 0, and the shape basically doesn't exist anymore. When you multiply by a scale factor of 1, the figure does not change in size at all. When you dilate by a scale factor of 5, each side length gets 5 times larger, meaning that this is not a reduction. Hope this helps!

Mrs. Hudson has made another assignment that Karen and Dakota are excited to try. To conduct your own experiment, you will need dice and a place to record your results. In this assignment, you will first calculate the theoretical probability for rolling a sum of 7. Then, you will roll the dice and add the numbers shown, recording your results as you go. Calculate the experimental probability for rolling a 7 after the 1st, 10th, and 100th rolls. Compare these results with the theoretical probability of rolling a sum of 7. How does this comparison change as the number of trials increase? 1.

Solve the system of equations. 6x-5y=-32, -7x+8y=46

Answers

Answer:

x = -2

y = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

6x-5y=-32

-7x+8y=46

Solve for x in the first equation.

6x = -32 + 5y

x = (-32 + 5y) /6

x = 5/6y - 16/3

Put x as 5/6y - 16/3 in the second equation and solve for y.

-7(5/6y - 16/3) +8y = 46

-35/6y+112/3 +8y = 46

13/6y + 112/3 = 46

13/6y = 46 - 112/3

13/6y = 26/3

y = 26/3 × 6/13

y = 4

Put y as 4 in the first equation and solve for x.

6x-5(4)=-32

6x-20 = -32

6x = -32+20

6x = -12

x = -12/6

x = -2

How can a triangular prism have a greater volume than a rectangular prism?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume that the two prisms have bases of equal area.

Then the volume of the rectangular prism is V = (base area)(height).

The volume of the triangular prism is V = (1/3)(base area)(height)

We could compare the two volumes by creating the ratio inequality

  (1/3) (base area)(t-height)

------------------------------------------

      (base area)(r-height)

The triangular prism will have the greater volume for (1/3)((t-height) > r-height.

Sue has 20 biscuits There are: 12 plain biscuits 5 chocolate biscuits 3 currant biscuits Sue takes two random biscuits Work out the probability that the two biscuits were not the same type

Answers

Answer:

58.43%

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing we must do is calculate the probability of when both are equal, that is, take out two cookies of the same type, since we can calculate that they are not equal by means of their complement:

The probability that they are equal is:

P (plain, plain) = (12/20) (11/19)

= 132/380

P (chocolate, chocolate) = (5/20) (4/19)

 = 20/380

P (currant, currant) = (3/20) (2/19)

= 6/380

The final probability would be the sum of these:

P (equal) = 132/380 + 20/380 + 6/380

P (equal) = 158/380

P (equal) = 0.4157

The probability that they are different is the opposite of the probability that they are equal, that is, the complement. Therefore, the probability that they are different is:

P (different) = 1 - 0.4157

P (different) = 0.5843

In other words, the probability would be 58.43%

Let p, q be the solutions of the quadratic equation x^2 − 2mx − 5n = 0 and let m, n be the solutions of x^2 − 2px − 5q = 0. If p,q,m and n are real and non-equal, then the value of p + q + m + n is ....

(A) 15

(B) 30

(C) 75

(D) 150

(E) 225​

Answers

Answer:

The correct option is;

(B) 30

Step-by-step explanation:

The equations are;

x² - 2·m·x - 5·n = 0.............(1)

Solution = p, q

x² - 2·p·x - 5·q = 0..............(2)

Solution = m, n

For equation (1), we have;

x² - 2·m·x - 5·n = 0 = (x - p)·(x - q)

x² - 2·m·x - 5·n = x² -x·p - x·q + q·p = x² -x·(p + q) + q·p

2·m = p + q..............(3)

5·n = -q·p..............(4)

Given the similarity between equation (1) and (2), we have;

2·p = m + n..............(5)

5·q = -m·n..............(6)

Therefore;

m = (p + q)/2

n = -q·p/5

Substituting the value of m and n in equation (5) and (6), we have;

2·p = (p + q)/2  - q·p/5.............(7)

5·q = (p + q)/2·q·p/5.............(8)

Making q the subject of equation (7) gives;

[tex]q = \dfrac{-7.5 \cdot p}{p -2.5}[/tex]

Substituting the value of q above in equation (8) gives;

[tex]-\dfrac{75\cdot p}{2\cdot p-5}=-\dfrac{3\cdot p^{4}-30\cdot p^{3}}{4\cdot p^{2}-20\cdot p+25}[/tex]

By cross multiplying and collecting like terms we have;

6·p⁵ -75·p⁴-150·p³+1500·p²-1875·p = 0

Which gives

(p+0)(p-1.91)(p-2.5)(p+5)(p-13.1)

p = 1.91 or 2.5 or -5 or 13.1

q = 24.27 or undef or -5 or -9.27

m = 13.09 or undef or -5 or 1.95

n = -9.27 or undef or -5 or -24.29

Therefore, p + q + m + n = 1.91 + 24.27 + 13.09 + (-9.27) = 30

Let x be a constant. The 5th term of an arithmetic sequence is a5=16x+11. The 9th term of the sequence is a9=28x+19. Find the first term of the sequence. Write your answer in simplest form

Answers

19

Step-by-step explanation:

The first term of the arithmetic sequence is  4x+3.

What is arithmetic sequence?

An ordered group of numbers with a shared difference between each successive term is known as an arithmetic sequence.

The formula to find the nth term of an arithmetic sequence is,

aₙ= a+(n-1)d

Where a is the 1st term and d is the common difference.

Let the first term of sequence is a and the common difference is d.

Given that,

The 5th term of the arithmetic sequence = 16x+11,

⇒ a+4d= 16x+11      (1)

And the 9th term of the arithmetic sequence = 28x+19,

⇒ a+8d= 28x+19    (2)

To find the first term of the sequence, multiply equation (1) with 2 and subtract equation (2) from it.

(2a+8d)-(a+8d) = (32x+22) - (28x+19)

a = 4x+3

The first term of the arithmetic sequence is  4x+3.

Slope = - 0.9(to the nearest tenth)

Intercept = 13.6 (to the nearest tenth)

The correlation Coefficient 'r' of the data supplied is - 0.9643, which implies that a strong negative correlation exists between the dependent and independent variables.

This equation comes from how mush Kim sold.

We can use elimination method to find the value of y.

-2y=-24

y=12

Now, we know that a blackberry pie costs $12. We can plug this back into any of the equaitons above to find the price of a blueberry pie.
