Answer:

(- 1, - 2 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

x - 3y = 5 → (1)

5x - 2y = - 1 → (2)

Rearrange (1) expressing x in terms of y by adding 3y to both sides

x = 5 + 3y → (3)

Substitute x = 5 + 3y in (2)

5(5 + 3y) - 2y = - 1 ← distribute left side

25 + 15y - 2y = - 1

25 + 13y = - 1 ( subtract 25 from both sides )

13y = - 26 ( divide both sides by 13 )

y = - 2

Substitute y = - 2 in (3) for corresponding value of x

x = 5 + (3 × - 2) = 5 - 6 = - 1

Solution is (- 1, - 2 )

STatiana [176]

Answer:

$20 e^{k*10} = 60 e^{0.2*10}$

We can divide both sides by 20 and we got:

$e^{10k}= 3 e^{2}$

Now we can appply natural log on both sides and we got:

$10 k = ln(3e^2)$

Now we can divide both sides of the equation by 10 and we got:

$k = \frac{ln(3e^2)}{10}= 0.30986$

So then the aproximate value of k is 0.30986 and rounded would be 0.31

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following two expression:

$p_1 = 20 e^{kt}$

$p_2 = 60 e^{0.2t}$

We know that the two populations were equal 10 years after the start of the study, so then we can create the following equation:

$20 e^{k*10} = 60 e^{0.2*10}$

We can divide both sides by 20 and we got:

$e^{10k}= 3 e^{2}$

Now we can appply natural log on both sides and we got:

$10 k = ln(3e^2)$

Now we can divide both sides of the equation by 10 and we got:

$k = \frac{ln(3e^2)}{10}= 0.30986$

So then the aproximate value of k is 0.30986 and rounded would be 0.31

Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

Alan buys 12.05 ounces of sour patch kids candy in all.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that Alan buys 5.3 ounces of sour patch kids candy. After sharing with his friends he returns to buy an additional 6.75 ounces.

And we have to find the total ounces he buys in all.

As we know that for finding the total quantity or amount, we will use addition for calculating it.

Firstly, Alan buys = 5.3 ounces of sour patch kids candy

Additional ounces of sour patch kids candy Alan buys = 6.75

So, the total ounces of sour patch kids candy he buys in all = 5.3 + 6.75

= 12.05 ounces

Hence, he buys 12.05 ounces in all.
