The system of equations
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

z = -12

Step-by-step explanation:

The given system of equations is:

xy/(x + y) = 1 ...........................(1)

xz/(x + z) = 2...........................(2)

yz/(y + z) = 3...........................(3)

From (1): x + y = xy

=> y = xy - x

y = x(y - 1)

x = y/(y - 1).......................................(4)

From (2): 2(x + z) = xz

=> 2x + 2z = xz

2x = xz - 2z

2x = z(x - 2)

z = 2x/(x - 2) ....................................(5)

From (3): 3(y + z) = yz

=> 3y + 3z = yz

3y = yz - 3z

3y = z(y - 3)

z = 3y/(y - 3)....................................(6)

Comparing (5) and (6)

2x/(x - 2) = 3y/(y - 3)

2x(y - 3) = 3y(x - 2)

2xy - 6x = 3xy - 6y

6(y - x) = xy .................................(7)

But from (1): xy = x + y

Using this in (7), we have

6(y - x) = x + y

6y - y - 6x - x = 0

5y - 7x = 0

5y = 7x

x = 5y/7................................................(8)

Using this in (4)

5y/7 = y/(y - 1)

1/(y - 1) = 5/7

(y - 1) = 7/5

y = 1 + 7/5

y = 12/5..........................................(9)

Using this in (8)

x = 5(12/5)/7 = 12/7 .......................(10)

Using (10) in (5)

z = 2x/(x - 2)

z = 2(12/7) ÷ (12/7 - 2)

= 24/7 ÷ -2/7

= 24/7 × (-7/2)

= -24/2 = -12

z = -12.

What is the greatest whole number that will divide both 792 and 990 exactly
Nastasia [14]
Factor the numbers, starting from the smallest:
792=2*3*3*11*4
990=2*3*3*11*5
the greatest whole number that can be divided by both 792 and 990 is 2*3*3*11=198
the smallest whole number that can divide both 792 and 990 exactly is 2*3*3*11*4*5=3960

Not sure which one you are asked to find.

Rory is staying in a cabin on a hill 300 feet above sea level. She walks down the hill to the water’s edge. The equation of her
Anastasy [175]

For this problem, we plug in the <em>numbers for t</em> and the <em>appropriate letters for e</em> to the equation <em>e = 300 - 10t</em>.

a) a = 300 - 10(-2)

simplify: a = 300 + 20

simplify: a = 320 ft.

But, this is not a viable point because when t≤0, she doesn't move anywhere, thus, should consistently be 300 ft.

b) b = 300 - 10(3.5)

simplify: b = 300 - 35

simplify: b = 265 ft.

c) c = 300 - 10(30)

simplify: c = 300 - 300

simplify: c = 0 ft.
