Question
If 0.4x + 0.16y = 1.7 and 0.3x + 0.12y = 3.4, then which
of the following is correct?Solution
Given:
1) 0.4x + 0.16y = 1.7
2) 0.3x + 0.12y = 3.4 Multiply (1) by 3:
1.2x + 0.48y = 5.1 Multiply (2) by 4:
1.2x + 0.48y = 13.6 Now subtract the two:
0 = 13.6 - 5.1
0 = 8.5 → Contradiction No solution. The system is inconsistent.
Given a triangle with two sides measuring 12 cm and 16 cm, which of the following cannot be a possible length for the third side?
- Find the remainder on dividing (5x 3  + 4x 2  – 10x + 1) by (2x – 4).
The area (in sq, units) of the triangle formed by the graphs of 8x + 3y = 24, 2x+8 = y and the x – axis is:
If x −y =4and xy =45,thenthevalueof x 3 −y3is:
If x + y = 2 and 1/x + 1/y = 18/15, then find the value of (x3 + y3)?
22% of ‘x’ is equal to 66% of ‘y’, then find the value of x: y.
If y + 1/y = 2 then find y117 + 1/(y117)
if a2 + b2 + c2Â =Â 2(4a -5b -9c)-122 , then a-b-c = ?
If a – b – c = 0, then the value of (a2 + b2 + c2)/(b + ac) is:
If 5x - 13xy + 6y = 0, find x : y.
