3x + ky = 8
X – 2ky = 5
are simultaneous equations where k is a constant.
b) Given that y = 1/2 determine the value of k.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

(a): x is 3 and ky is -1

(b): k is -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let: 3x + ky = 8 be equation (a)

x - 2 ky = 5 be equation (b)

Then multiply equation (a) by 2:

→ 6x + 2ky = 16, let it be equation (c)

Then equation (c) + equation (b):

[tex] { \sf{(6 + 1)x + (2 - 2)ky = (16 + 5)}} \\ { \sf{7x = 21}} \\ { \sf{x = 3}}[/tex]

Then ky :

[tex]{ \sf{2ky = 3 - 5}} \\ { \sf{ky = - 1}}[/tex]

[tex]{ \bf{y = \frac{1}{2} }} \\ { \sf{ky = - 1}} \\ { \sf{k = - 2}}[/tex]

Answer 2

Simultaneous equations are used to represent a system of related equations.

The value of k when [tex]y = \frac 12[/tex] is -2

Given that:

[tex]3x + ky = 8[/tex]

[tex]x - 2ky = 5[/tex]

[tex]y = \frac 12[/tex]

Substitute [tex]y = \frac 12[/tex] in both equations

[tex]3x + ky = 8[/tex]

[tex]3x + k \times \frac 12 = 8[/tex]

[tex]3x + \frac k2 = 8[/tex]

[tex]x - 2ky = 5[/tex]

[tex]x - 2k \times \frac 12 = 5[/tex]

[tex]x - k = 5[/tex]

Make x the subject in [tex]x - k = 5[/tex]

[tex]x = 5 + k[/tex]

Substitute [tex]x = 5 + k[/tex] in [tex]3x + \frac k2 = 8[/tex]

[tex]3(5 + k) + \frac k2 = 8[/tex]

Open bracket

[tex]15 + 3k + \frac k2 = 8[/tex]

Multiply through by 2

[tex]30 + 6k + k = 16[/tex]

[tex]30 + 7k = 16[/tex]

Collect like terms

[tex]7k = 16 - 30[/tex]

[tex]7k = - 14[/tex]

Divide both sides by 7

[tex]k = -2[/tex]

Hence, the value of constant k is -2.

During a sale at a furniture store, sofas were marked down 30%. You have a coupon for an additional 15% off. What is the final price of a sofa that originally cost $550?

Answers

Answer:

327.25

Step-by-step explanation:

550*0.7=385

385*0.85=327.25

!!! MUST REMEMBER!!!

dont add 30% and 15% together, 15% is another discount on the price that has been marked down.

The final price of a sofa will be $302.5.

What is mean by Percentage?

A number or ratio that can be expressed as a fraction of 100 or a relative value indicating hundredth part of any quantity is called percentage.

To Calculate the percent of a number , divide the number by whole number and multiply by 100.

Given that;

The original price of a sofa = $550

During sale at a furniture store, sofas marked down = 30%

Coupon for an additional 15% off.

Now,

Total percent for profit on a sofa = 30% + 15%

                                                  = 45%

Hence, The cost of a sofa after discount will be calculate as;

The cost of discount at a sofa = 45% of 550

                                              = 45/100 x 550

                                              = 24,750 / 100

                                              = 247.5

So, The final cost of a sofa = $550 - $247.5

                                         = $302.5

Therefore, The final price of a sofa will be $302.5.

What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to the line y = 1?
O-1
ОО
O 1
O undefined

Answers

Answer:  D)   Undefined

Explanation:

The equation y = 1 is the same as y = 0x+1

Match that to the form y = mx+b to see that the slope is m = 0

Any horizontal line has a slope of 0.

Notice that we cannot apply the negative reciprocal to this because 0 = 0/1 leads to 1/0 which is undefined

The slope of any vertical line is undefined because we have run = 0 and slope = rise/run = 1/0. The rise can be any number you want (it doesn't have to be 1) and we get the same result.

The slope of a line that is perpendicular to the line y = 1 is undefined.

What is Slope of Line?

The slope of the line is the ratio of the rise to the run, or rise divided by the run. It describes the steepness of line in the coordinate plane.

The slope intercept form of a line is y=mx+b, where m is slope and b is the y intercept.

The slope of line passing through two points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) is

m=y₂-y₁/x₂-x₁

The equation y = 1 is the same as y = 0x+1

Match that to the form y = mx+b to see that the slope is m = 0

Any horizontal line has a slope of 0.

y = 1 is an vertical line.

The slope of any vertical line is undefined because we have run = 0 and slope = rise/run = 1/0.

= Undefined

Hence,  the slope of a line that is perpendicular to the line y = 1 is undefined.

3x = 15

Divide each term in  3x = 15  by 3  and simplify.

First find the equation of line using

y-y1=m(x-x1) --- m=slope = 7 and x1= -6 and y1= 1

y-1=7(x-(-6))

y-1=7x+42

y=7x+43

now let x be -5 to find y which is a

y=7(-5)+43

y=-35+43
