Solve the simultaneous equations 3x – 4y = 18
9x + 2y = 12
Write your final answer on one line in the form x= ... , y = ...

127

whether it's diameter, or radius, i believe if i remember correctly from school, every amount has to always add up to 180. so if you take 53, and starting adding, long story short, taking 127 and adding it to 53, gives you 180.

55.44 inches

step-by-step explanation:

part a. assuming a perfectly linear relationship, we can find the slope from the first two data points.

slope = m = (change in rainfall)/(change in years)

= (61.80 -62.33)/(2005 -2004) = -0.53/1 = -0.53

then the point-slope form of the equation of the line can be written as

y = m(x -h) +k . . . . . m = -0.53, (h, k) = (0, 62.33)

y = -0.53x +62.33 . . . x = years after 2004

part b. in 2017, x = 2017 -2004 = 13. then the predicted rainfall is

y = -0.53·13 +62.33 = 55.44 . . inches

the predicted rainfall in 2017 is 55.44 in.

4.5(4 − x ) + 36 = 202 − 2.5(3x + 28) now multiply from the paranthesis

18 -4.5x + 36 = 202 -7.5x + 70 will add the numbers

54-4.5x = 272-7.5x move x to the left and numbers to the right

7.5x-4.5x = 272-54 make the difference

3x = 218 and divide by 3

x= 72
