Answer: The first equation should be multiplied by 9 and the second equation by −4, to eliminate the y-terms and solve for x in the fewest steps.


Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Equation (1) 5x − 4y = 28

Equation (2) 3x - 9y = 30

to eliminate the y-terms and solve for x in the fewest steps, we should multiply  equation (1) by 9 and equation (2) by -4 such that

9(5x − 4y) =9 (28)⇒45x-36y=252

-4(3x - 9y) = -4(30)⇒ -12x+36y= -120

Now adding both equations, y-term eliminated and we get, 45x-12x=132

⇒33x=132⇒x=4.

This line plot shows something about trails in a state park. What is true about the data in this line plot?
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

The total length of the Dogwood Trail is 24 kilometers

The difference between the lengths of the trails is 6 kilometers

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>The complete and correct question is</em></u>

The diagram shows two different nature trails in a state park. The solid line shows the Dogwood Trail. The dashed line shows the Elm Trail.

Which of the following statements are true about the lengths of the trails? Check all that apply.

1.The total length of the Dogwood Trail is 16 kilometers.

2.The total length of the Dogwood Trail is 24 kilometers.

3.The Elm Trail is longer than the Dogwood Trail.

4.The difference between the lengths of the trails is 2 kilometers.

5.The difference between the lengths of the trails is 6 kilometers.    

<u><em>The picture in the attached figure</em></u>

step 1

Find the value of a

Applying the Pythagorean Theorem in the right triangle ABC

13^2=a^2+5^2\\a^2=169-25\\a^2=144\\a=12\ km

step 2

Find the value of b

Applying the Pythagorean Theorem in the right triangle CDE

5^2=b^2+3^2\\b^2=25-9\\b^2=16\\b=4\ km

step 3

Find the total length of the Dogwood Trail (solid blue line)

The total length is equal to

AD=AB+BC+CE+ED ---> by segment addition postulate

substitute the given values

AD=a+5+b+3=(a+b+8)\ km

substitute the value of a and b

AD=(12+4+8)=24\ km

step 4

Find the total length of the Elm Trail  (dashed red line)

The total length is equal to

AD=AC+CD ---> by segment addition postulate

substitute the given values

AD=13+5=18\ km

<u><em>Verify the following statements</em></u>

Part 1) The total length of the Dogwood Trail is 16 kilometers

The statement is false

Because

The total length of the Dogwood Trail is 24 kilometers (see the explanation)

Part 2) The total length of the Dogwood Trail is 24 kilometers

The statement is true (see the explanation)

Part 3) The Elm Trail is longer than the Dogwood Trail

The statement is false

Because

The Elm Trail is smaller than the Dogwood Trail

18\ km < 24\ km

Part 4) The difference between the lengths of the trails is 2 kilometers

The statement is false

Because

The difference is equal to

24-18=6\ km

Part 5) The difference between the lengths of the trails is 6 kilometers

The statement is true

Because

The difference is equal to

24-18=6\ km

The following curve passes through (3,1). Use the local linearization of the curve to find the approximate value of y at x=2.8.
Artist 52 [7]

d/dx (2 x^2 y + y = 2x + 13) 4xy + 2x^2 y' + y' = 2 4xy + y'(2x^2 + 1) = 2 y' = (2- 4xy)/(2x^2 +1)

<span>ow we can use this in a linear equation for a slope Ty = -5x/8 +5(3)/8 +8/8 = -5x/8 +(15+8)/8 = -5x/8 +23/8 this will gives us an approximation at x=2.8 now</span>

The area of ABED is 49 square units. Given AGequals9 units and ACequals10 ​units, what fraction of the area of ACIG is represent
Mrac [35]

Answer:

The fraction of the area of ACIG represented by the shaped region is 7/18

Step-by-step explanation:

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

step 1

In the square ABED find the length side of the square

we know that

AB=BE=ED=AD

The area of s square is

A=b^{2}

where b is the length side of the square

we have

A=49\ units^2

substitute

49=b^{2}

b=7\ units

therefore

AB=BE=ED=AD=7\ units

step 2

Find the area of ACIG

The area of rectangle ACIG is equal to

A=(AC)(AG)

substitute the given values

A=(9)(10)=90\ units^2

step 3

Find the area of shaded rectangle DEHG

The area of rectangle DEHG is equal to

A=(DE)(DG)

we have DE=7\ units

DG=AG-AD=9-7=2\ units

substituteA=(7)(2)=14\ units^2

step 4

Find the area of shaded rectangle BCFE

The area of rectangle BCFE is equal to

A=(EF)(CF)

we have

EF=AC-AB=10-7=3\ units

CF=BE=7\ units

substitute

A=(3)(7)=21\ units^2

step 5

sum the shaded areas

14+21=35\ units^2

step 6

Divide the area of  of the shaded region by the area of ACIG

\frac{35}{90}

Simplify

Divide by 5 both numerator and denominator

\frac{7}{18}

therefore

The fraction of the area of ACIG represented by the shaped region is 7/18
