We can let
a = 1/(x-1)
b = 1/(y+2)
and rewrite the equations as
2a - b = 10
a + 3b = -9
Using the first to write an expression for b, we get
b = 2a - 10
Substituting this into the second equation gives
a + 3(2a -10) = -9
7a -30 = -9 . . . . . . . . simplify
7a = 21 . . . . . . . . . . .add 30
a = 3
b = 2·3 - 10 = -4
Now, we can find x and y.
3 = 1/(x -1)
x - 1 = 1/3
x = 1 1/3 = 4/3
-4 = 1/(y +2)
y +2 = -1/4
y = -2 1/4 = -9/4
Then the desired sum is
x + y = 4/3 -9/4 = (16 -27)/12
x + y = -11/12
The appropriate choice is ..
c. -11/12
The answer is 78.5 because the formula to find area is πr2 so the radius is 5ft π is 3.14 so 3.14 times 5 and the 2 on top of r means the u have to do 5 times 5 which is 25 now it's real simple do 3.14 times 25 which is 78.5 I HOPE THIS HELPS=)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to get m on one side all by itself. To achieve this, let's subtract both sides by 1.2 to get .
Answer: 25%
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : Previous baby's weight = 18 pounds
New baby's weight = 24 pounds.
Increase in weight = New weight -Previews weight
=24 pounds - 18 pounds =6 pounds
Percentage increase in baby's weight =
Hence, the percentage increase in baby's weight = 25%
