Which of these strategies would eliminate a variable in the system of equations?


2x + 8y = -3


3x + 6y = -4


A: Multiply the top equation by 333, multiply the bottom equation by -2−2minus, 2, then add the equations.


B: Multiply the top equation by 333, multiply the bottom equation by 444, then subtract the bottom equation from the top equation.



C: Multiply the top equation by -4−4minus, 4, multiply the bottom equation by 333, then add the equations

Answers

Answer 1

Option A: Multiply the top equation by 3, multiply the bottom equation by -2, then add the equations will eliminate the variables.

Rewriting the equation -

2x + 8y = -3 : Equation 1

3x + 6y = -4 : Equation 2

Multiplying equation 1 with and equation 2 with -2.

6x + 24y = -9 : Equation 3

-6x - 12y = 24 : Equation 4

Adding the equation 3 and equation 4. This will eliminate the variable x.

12y = 15

y = 5/4

So, option 1 will eliminate the variable x on solving we get the value of y as 5/4.

Are the following rectangles similar? Show your work pls (yk how teachers are)

Answers

No the two rectangles are not similar as the ratios of the sides are not equal.

Two rectangles are said to be similar if the ratio of the sides of the rectangles are equal.

Now let us consider the given rectangles:

In rectangle ABCD:

AB = 18

AD = 36

In rectangle WXYZ :

WX = 25

XY = 45

Now the ratio of the sides of the rectangle are:

AB/AD = 18 / 36 = 1 / 2

WX/XY = 25 / 45 = 5 / 9

Thus we can see that AB : AD ≠ WX : XY

Hence the rectangles are not similar.

If the ratios of the adjacent sides of two rectangles are equal, then they are similar. A rectangle is a quadrilateral in the Euclidean plane because it has four right angles.

Other definitions include a parallelogram with a right angle or a quadrilateral that is equiangular, where equiangular denotes that all of its angles are equal. A square is a rectangle with four equally long sides.

a) The correct equation to represent the given condition is;

⇒ 4 (x + $3) = $36

Where, x represents the amount Pablo parents added in each day.

b) The amount to added by his parents in his account = $6

What is an expression?

Mathematical expression is defined as the collection of the numbers variables and functions by using operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

Given that;

For 4 days, Pablo put $3 into his account.

And, His parent also add the some money to his saving account.

In the end, there was a total $36 in his account.

Now,

Let the amount Pablo parents added in each day = x

So, We can formulate;

⇒ 4 (x + $3) = $36

Solve for x as;

⇒ 4x + $12 = $36

⇒ 4 x = $36 - $12

⇒ 4x = $24

Divide by 4 both side, we get;

⇒ x = $6

Thus,

a) The correct equation to represent the given condition is;

⇒ 4 (x + $3) = $36

Where, x represents the amount Pablo parents added in each day.

Solving equations with one solution

Check all that applies:

6x - 6 = 15x + 15

6x - 15x = 15 + 6

x = 21/-9

x = -2.33

6x + 15 = 6x + 15

6x - 6x = 15 - 15

0 = 0

False

6x - 15 = 6x + 15

6x - 6x = 15 + 15

0 = 30

False

6x - 6 = 6x + 15

6x - 6x = 15 + 6

Using the velocity, the rocket reaches its maximum height at 3.25 seconds.

In the given question we have to find the maximum height at the rocket reaches.

From the question; a toy rocket is shot vertically into the air from a launching pad 5 feet above the ground with an initial velocity of 104 feet per second.

The height h in feet of the rocket above the ground at t seconds after launch is given by the function h(t)= -16t^2+104t+5.

As we know that at the maximum height, the velocity will be zero.

So the given function of the heigth is

h(t)= -16t^2+104t+5

Velocity(v) = dh(t)/dt = -32t+104

As the maximum height v=0

-32t+104 = 0

Subtract 104 on both side, we get

-32t= -104

Divide by -32 on both side

t= 3.25 seconds

Hence, the rocket reaches its maximum height at 3.25 seconds.

The solution to the given set of systems of equations is (x, y) = (1, -4).

What is an equation?

An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more numbers and variables. A system of equations is two or more equations that can be solved to get a unique solution. the power of the equation must be in one degree.

Let's determine the solution using the elimination Method

3x−2y=11  (Equation 1)

3x−y=7(Equation 2)

Multiply the second equation by 2.

6x - 2y = 14    (Equation 3)

Now subtract the first equation from third to eliminate the y.

6x - 2y - (3x - 2y) = 14 - 11

3x = 3

x = 1

Now to find the value of y,

3x−y=7

As it is given that 90% confident that your estimate is within 1.5% of the true population proportion, therefore we have:

The level of significance(∝) = 1 - 0.90

= 0.10

The z value for the 90% confidence is 1.645

Therefore the largest of a sample size is required = ( 1.645/ 0.015)²× ( 0.4)(1- 0.4)

an old-model machine can stamp 1000 parts in four hours. a newmodel machine can stamp 1000 parts in just two hours. how long will it take one old-model and one new-model machine to stamp 1000 parts working together?

Answers

It will take 1 hour 20 mins for one old-model and one new-model machine to stamp 1000 parts working together.

Given that;

Finding the hourly cost of stamping parts for each machine is one way to approach this issue.

In 4 hours, the outdated equipment can stamp 1000 pieces. That means that it produces 250 parts per hour (1000 divided by 4). The new machine produces 1000 parts in two hours, which translates to 500 components every hour of stamping (1000 divided by 2).

If t is the amount of time that both machines are simultaneously stamping, then to determine the output, which must be 1000 parts, we simply multiply the rates of the two machines by t.

By multiplying the unknown time, t, by each of the two machines' rates and setting the result equal to 1000, it is possible to determine the precise amount of time required. Equation form of this is;

250t + 500t = 1000

750t = 1000

t = 1000/750

t = 1.333
