Answer:x = 1

y = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The given system of simultaneous equations is expressed as

3x - 5y = - 2 - - - - - - - - - - - - 1

2x + y = 3 - - - - - - - - - - - - - 2

The first step is to decide on which variable to eliminate. Let us eliminate x. Then we would multiply both rows by numbers which would make the coefficients of x to be equal in both rows.

Multiplying equation 1 by 2 and equation 2 by 3, it becomes

6x - 10y = - 4

6x + 3y = 9

Subtracting, it becomes

- 13y = - 13

y = - 13/- 13 = 1

The next step is to substitute y = 1 into any of the equations to determine x.

Substituting y = 1 into equation 2, it becomes

2x + 1 = 3

2x = 3 - 1 = 2

x = 2/2 = 1

A 3.00-g copper penny at 25.0°C drops from a height of50.0 m to the ground. (
Gnoma [55]
The potential energy, E, of the penny is given by E=mgh.  The energy, Q, required to raise the temperature of an object by an amount ΔT is given by Q=mcΔT.  We can equate these two to get the result but we must use proper units and include the 60%:
(0.6)mgh=mcΔT
We see we can divide out the mass from each side
0.6gh=cΔT,   then 0.6gh/c=ΔT
(0.6)9.81(m/s²)50m/385(J/kg°C) = 0.7644°C
since this is the change in temperature and it started at 25°C we get
T=25.7644°C
As you can see the result does not depend on mass.  The more massive the copper object the more potential energy it will have to contribute to the heat energy, but the more stuff there will be to heat up, and the effect is that the mass cancels.

First of all you have to find the missing measurements. The actual measurements for the angles in the hexagon are not given, but they give you an expression. You have to solve for x first so that you can plug it in and find the angle measurement. You have to equal the two sides that are given to you like this: 20x+48=33x+9. You solve for x and then plug it into each angle measurement. This should give you 108. Since it is a regular hexagon all of the sides are equal. If you look at the angle at the top of the hexagon you'll see two triangles and the angle. Since it lies on a straight line, it is all equal to 180. You already have the angle measurement of the hexagon and are missing the triangles. So 180-108=72. 72 is the missing part of the angle. You divide this by 2 in order to find each triangle angle measurements. the answer is 36 degrees.
