Answer:
Let x represent the smaller number and y represent the larger number
<u>For the first equation </u>
Four times a number added to 3 times a larger number is 31 is written as
4x + 3y = 31
Making y the subject we have
3y = - 4x + 31
Divide both sides by 3
That's
<u>For the second equation</u>
Seven subtracted from the larger number is equal to twice the smaller number is written as
y - 7 = 2x
Making y the subject
We have
<h3>y = 2x + 7</h3>
Hope this helps you
Answer:
65
Step-by-step explanation:
it is the largest cup so it is 65
Step-by-step explanation:
Step-by-step explanation:
(1) Factor the GCF out of the trinomial on the left side of the equation. (2 points: 1 for the GCF, 1 for the trinomial) 2x²+6x-20=0
2x²+6x-20
2(x²+3x-10)
the factors are 2 and (x²+3x-10)
(2) Factor the polynomial completely. (4 points: 2 point for each factor)
2(x²+3x-10)
2(x²-2x+5x-10)
2(x(x-2) + 5(x-2)) group like terms
2(x+5)(x-2)
(3) If a product is equal to zero, we know at least one of the factors must be zero. And the constant factor cannot be zero. So set each binomial factor equal to 0 and solve for x, the width of your project. (2 points: 1 point for each factor)
constant = 2 cannot be zero
the other factors are (x+5) and (x-2)
(x+5)=0 => x= -5
or
(x-2)=0 => x=2
(4) What are the dimensions of your project? Remember that the width of your project is represented by x. (2 points: 1 point for each dimension)
thank you so much, sorry if it's a little confusing!!
(it is indeed confusing, because physical dimensions cannot be negative)
The dimensions of the project (assumed a rectangle) are +2 and -5
