What is the value of y in the solution set of the system of linear equations shown below?y = -x + 124x - 2y = 36A.10B. 8C. 6D. 2
y = 2 (option D)
Explanation:y = -x + 12
4x - 2y = 36
rewriting the equations:
y + x = 12 ....equation 1
-2y + 4x = 36 ....equation 2
Using elimination method:
we will be eliminating y. So we need to make the coefficient of y to be the same in both equation. We will be multiplying the first equation by 2.
2y + 2x = 24 ....equation 1
-2y + 4x = 36 ....equation 2
Add both equations:
2y + (-2y) + 2x + 4x = 24 + 36
2y-2y + 6x = 60
6x = 60
x = 60/6 = 10
Insert the value of x in any of the equation. Using equation 2:
4(10) - 2y = 36
40 -2y = 36
-2y = 36 - 40
-2y = -4
y = -4/-2
y = 2 (option D)

Mary Bought her car for $20,000. After 5 years she decided to sell her car for a 25% increase invalue. What is the price that Mary decided to sell her car for?
Original Car price = $20,000
Price increase after 5 years = 25%
To calculate the price after 5 years, first multiply the original price (20,000) by the percentage increase in decimal form ( divided by 100) to obtain the increase amount:
20,000 x (25/100) = 20,000 x 0.25 = $5000
Finally, add the increase amount to the original price:
20,000+5,000 = $25,000

A rectangle with an area of 20 square units is dilated by the scale factor of 3.5. find the area of the new rectangle
We are given the area of a rectangle. The area of a rectangle is the product of the length and the height. Therefore, we have:
[tex]A=lh[/tex]If we scale the rectangle by a factor of 3.5 this means that we multiply the length and the height by 3.5, like this:
[tex]A^{\prime}=(3.5l)(3.5h)[/tex]Solving the product:
[tex]A^{\prime}=12.25lh[/tex]Since "lh" is the original area we have:
[tex]A^{\prime}=12.25A[/tex]Now, we substitute the value of the original area:
[tex]A^{\prime}=12.25(20)[/tex]Solving the operations:
[tex]A^{\prime}=245[/tex]Therefore, the new area is 245 square units.
The current in a simple electrical circuit is inversely proportional to the resistance. If thecurrent is 30 amperes (an ampere is a unit for measuring current) when the resistance is 5ohms, find the current when the resistance is 7.8 ohms.
Hello there. To solve this question, we'll have to remember some properties about inversely proportional terms.
Let's start labeling the terms:
Say Current is given by I, Resistance is given by R and voltage is given by V.
By Ohm's Law, we know that:
[tex]V=R\cdot I[/tex]In fact, this is the definition we need to find the answer.
But, to understand why the question mention the fact that they are inversely proportional, note:
We say two numbers x and y are inversely proportional when:
[tex]x\cdot y=k[/tex]Their product is equal to a constant. k is the constant (of proportionality).
Now, using the given values in the question, we can solve this question.
If the current is 30 ampère when the resistance is 5 ohms, we have to find the current when the resistance is 7.8 ohms.
First scenery:
[tex]V=30\cdot5[/tex]Multiply the numbers
[tex]V=150[/tex]Second scenery:
[tex]V=7.8\cdot I[/tex]Plugging V = 150, we get:
[tex]150=7.8\cdot I[/tex]Divide both sides of the equation by a factor of 7.8
[tex]I=\frac{150}{7.8}[/tex]Simplify the fraction by a factor of 2
[tex]I=\frac{75}{3.9}[/tex]Using a calculator, we get the following approximation
[tex]I\approx19.2\text{ A}[/tex]A is for Ampère.

Solve triangle ABC. (If an answer does not exist, enter DNE. Round your answers to one decimal place.) a = 3.0, b = 4.0, C = 58°
Answer
A = 46.3°
B = 75.7°
c = 3.5
Explanation
We will be using both Cosine and Sine rule to solve this.
For Cosine rule,
If a triangle ABC has angles A, B and C at the points of the named vertices of the tringles with the sides facing each of these angles tagged a, b and c respectively, the Cosine rule is given as
c² = a² + b² - 2ab Cos C
a = 3.0
b = 4.0
C = 58°
c² = 3² + 4² - 2(3)(4)(Cos 58°)
c² = 9 + 16 - (24)(0.5299)
c² = 25 - 12.72 = 12.28
c = √12.28 = 3.50
To find the other angles, we will now use Sine Rule
If a triangle ABC has angles A, B and C at the points of the named vertices of the tringles with the sides facing each of these angles tagged a, b and c respectively, the sine rule is given as
[tex]\frac{\text{ Sin A}}{a}=\frac{\text{ Sin B}}{b}=\frac{\text{ Sin C}}{c}[/tex]So, we can use the latter parts to solve this
[tex]\frac{\text{ Sin B}}{b}=\frac{\text{ Sin C}}{c}[/tex]B = ?
b = 4.0
C = 58°
c = 3.5
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{\text{ Sin B}}{4}=\frac{\text{ Sin 58}\degree}{3.5} \\ \text{ Sin B = }\frac{4\times\text{ Sin 58}\degree}{3.5}=0.9692 \\ B=Sin^{-1}(0.9692)=75.7\degree \end{gathered}[/tex]We can then solve for Angle A
The sum of angles in a triangle is 180°
A + B + C = 180°
A + 75.7° + 58° = 180°
A = 180° - 133.7° = 46.3°

What are the possible values for the missing term of the geometric sequence? .004, _____, .4.04.04, -.04.0004.0004, -.0004
By definition, in a Geometric sequence the terms are found by multiplying the previous one by a constant. This constant is called "Common ratio".
In this case, you know these values of the set:
[tex]\begin{gathered} .004 \\ .4 \end{gathered}[/tex]Notice that you can set up this set with the value given in the first option:
[tex].004,.04,.4[/tex]Now you can check it there is a Common ratio:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{0.04}{0.004}=10 \\ \\ \frac{.4}{0.04}=10 \end{gathered}[/tex]The Common ratio is:
[tex]r=10[/tex]Therefore, it is a Geometric sequence.
Apply the same procedure with each option given in the exercise:
- Using
[tex].004,.04,-.04,.4[/tex]You can notice that it is not a Geometric sequence, because:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{-.04}{.04}=-1 \\ \\ \frac{.4}{-.04}=-10 \end{gathered}[/tex]- Using

- Using this set with the values given in the last option:
[tex].004,.0004,-.0004,.4[/tex]You get:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{.0004}{.004}=0.1 \\ \\ \frac{-.0004}{.0004}=-1 \end{gathered}[/tex]It is not a Geometric sequence.

There is sales tax of $9.00 on an item t that costs $ 120.00 before tax. The sales tax on a different item is $ 19.05. How much does the second item cost before tax?
SOLUTION:
Step 1:
In this question, we are given that:
There is sales tax of $9.00 on an item that costs $ 120.00 before tax.
The sales tax on a different item is $ 19.05.
We are meant to find how much the second item cost before tax.
Step 2:
Assuming that there is an equal percentage of tax,
and let the second item cost before tax be y,
then we have that:
[tex]\frac{9}{120}\text{ = }\frac{19.05}{y}[/tex]Cross-multiply, we have that:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 9\text{ x y = 19.05 x 120} \\ 9y\text{ = 2286} \\ \end{gathered}[/tex]Divide both sides by 9, we have that:
[tex]\begin{gathered} y\text{ = }\frac{2286}{9} \\ y\text{ = 254} \end{gathered}[/tex]CONCLUSION:
The cost of the second item before tax = $ 254

Compute the sums below. (Assume that the terms in the first sum are consecutive terms of an arithmetic sequence.) 9 + 4 + (-1) + ... + (-536)
SOLUTION
The terms below make an A.P. Now we are told to find the sum of the AP.
Sum of an AP is given by
[tex]S\text{ = }\frac{n}{2}\lbrack2a\text{ + (n-1)d\rbrack}[/tex]Where S = sum of the AP, a = first term = 9, d = -5, n= ?
So we have to find n first before we can find the sum. The nth term which is the last term = -536. So we will use it to find the number of terms "n"
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{From T}_{n\text{ }}=\text{ a +(n-1)d where T}_{n\text{ }}=\text{ -536} \\ -536\text{ = 9+(n-1)-5} \\ -536\text{ = 9-5n+5} \\ -536\text{ = 14-5n} \\ -5n\text{ = -536-14} \\ -5n\text{ = -550} \\ n\text{ = 110} \end{gathered}[/tex]Now let's find the sum
[tex]\begin{gathered} S\text{ = }\frac{n}{2}\lbrack2a\text{ + (n-1)d\rbrack} \\ S\text{ = }\frac{110}{2}\lbrack2\times9\text{ + (110-1)-5\rbrack} \\ S\text{ = 55\lbrack{}18+(119)-5\rbrack} \\ S\text{ = 55\lbrack{}18 - 595\rbrack} \\ S\text{ = 55}\times-577 \\ S\text{ = -31735} \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore, the sum = -31735

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{-\frac{\pi}{4}}{\pi}=\frac{d}{180} \\ \\ -\frac{\pi}{4}\div\frac{\pi}{1}=\frac{d}{180} \\ \\ -\frac{\pi}{4}\times\frac{1}{\pi}=\frac{d}{180} \\ \\ -\frac{1}{4}=\frac{d}{180} \end{gathered}[/tex]Now we can cross multiply;
[tex]\begin{gathered} -\frac{180}{4}=d \\ \\ -45=d \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore,

[tex]\begin{gathered} x+1=-2 \\ \frac{x}{4}=-\frac{3}{4} \\ \text{As }8>-\frac{3}{4},\text{ this means that (-3, 8) is NOT a solution of the system.} \end{gathered}[/tex]For (2,5)
In this case, x=2 and y=5.
[tex]\begin{gathered} x+1=3 \\ \frac{x}{4}=\frac{2}{4}=\frac{1}{2} \\ \text{As }5>\frac{1}{2}\text{ this means that (2, 5) is NOT a solution of the system.} \end{gathered}[/tex]For (-7, -4)

[tex]\begin{gathered} y\text{ = mx + b} \\ 4\text{ = }\frac{3}{5}(3)\text{ + b} \\ 4\text{ = 9/5 + b} \\ 4\text{ - }\frac{\text{9}}{5}\text{ = b} \\ \frac{20-9}{5}\text{ = b} \\ b\text{ = 11/5} \end{gathered}[/tex]The equation of line parallel to y = 3/5x - 3:
[tex]\begin{gathered} y\text{ = mx + b} \\ y\text{ = }\frac{3}{5}x\text{ + }\frac{11}{5} \end{gathered}[/tex][tex]b)\text{ line perpendicular to y = 3/5x - 3}[/tex]For a line to be perpendicular to another line, the slope of one will be the negative reciprocal of the second line
Slope of the 1st line = 3/5
reciprocal of 3/5 = 5/3
negative reciprocal = -5/3
slope of the 2nd line (perpendicular) = -5/3
We need to get the y-intercept of the perpendicular line:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{given point: (3,4) = (x, y)} \\ y\text{ = mx + b} \\ m\text{ of the perpendicular = -5/3} \\ 4\text{ = }\frac{-5}{3}(3)\text{ + b} \\ 4\text{ = -5 + b} \\ 4\text{ + 5 = b} \\ b\text{ = 9} \end{gathered}[/tex]The equation of line perpendicular to y = 3/5x - 3:
[tex]\begin{gathered} y\text{ = mx + b} \\ y\text{ = }\frac{-5}{3}x\text{ + 9} \end{gathered}[/tex]Solve for z. 24z - 48 = 16z + 112
Answer: z = 20
Explanation:
The given equation is
24z - 48 = 16z + 112
Subtracting 16z from both sides of the equation, we have
24z - 16z - 48 = 16z - 16z + 112
8z - 48 = 112
Adding 48 to both sides, we have
8z - 48 + 48 = 112 + 48
8z = 160
Dividing both sides by 8,
8z/8 = 160/8
z = 20
