Answer:

<h3>Option 4: y = 3 – 2a</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the simultaneous equation;

ax + by = ab  ......... 1

2ax + 3by = 3b .....2

Required

Express y in terms of a

Using elimination method to eliminate x variable.

eqn 1 * 2 and eqn 2 *1 will give;

2ax + 2by = 2ab

2ax + 3by = 3b

Subtract

2by - 3by = 2ab - 3b

-by = 2ab - 3b

-by = b(2a-3)

-y = 2a-3

multiply through by -1

y = -2a + 3

y = 3-2a

Hence the value of y in terms of a is y = 3-2a

Solve the system of linear equations using multiplication.

Answer:

(8,-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given system is:

3x+3y=21

6x+12y=36

Since I prefer to use smaller numbers I'm going to divide both sides of the first equation by 3 and both sides of the equation equation by 6.

This gives me the system:

x+y=7

x+2y=6

We could solve the first equation for x and replace the second x with that.

Let's do that.

x+y=7

Subtract y on both sides:

x=7-y

So we are replacing the second x in the second equation with (7-y) which gives us:

(7-y)+2y=6

7-y+2y=6

7+y=6

y=6-7

y=-1

Now recall the first equation we arranged so that x was the subject. I'm referring to x=7-y.

We can now find x given that y=-1 using the equation x=7-y.

Let's do that.

x=7-y with y=-1:

x=7-(-1)

x=7+1

x=8

So the solution is (8,-1).

We can check this point by plugging it into both equations.

If both equations render true for that point, then we have verify the solution.

Let's try it.

3x+3y=21 with (x,y)=(8,-1):

3(8)+3(-1)=21

24+(-3)=21

21=21 is a true equation so the "solution" looks promising still.

6x+12y=36 with (x,y)=(8,-1):

6(8)+12(-1)=36

48+(-12)=36

36=36 is also true so the solution has been verified since both equations render true for that point.

Find the volume of the wedge cut from the first octant by the cylinder z=12-3y^2 and the plane x+y=2.
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

The wedge cut from the first octant ⟹ z ≥ 0 and y ≥ 0 ⟹ 12−3y^2 ≥ 0 ⟹ 0 ≤ y ≤ 2  

0 ≤ y ≤ 2 and x = 2-y ⟹ 0 ≤ x ≤ 2  

V = ∫∫∫ dzdydx  

dz has changed from zero to 12−3y^2  

dy has changed from zero to 2-x  

dx has changed from zero to 2  

V = ∫∫∫ dzdydx = ∫∫ (12−3y^2) dydx = ∫ 12(2-x)-(2-x)^3 dx =  

24(2)-6(2)^2+(2-2)^4/4 -(2-0)^4/4 = 20

Susan plans to use 120 feet of fencing to enclose a rectangular area for a garden. Which equation best models the area, y, of th
mina [271]
Well we set the perimeter to 120 feet.
This means that 2x+2y=120
Now we know the area of a rectangle is xy so we have to solve for both x and y in the perimeter equation.

2x=120-2y
x=60-y

2y=120-2x
y=60-x

Now we plug these values into our area equation A=xy to get:
A=(60-y)(60-x)
