Consider the following system of linear equations:

4(x−2)+y=3x 4(x - 2) + y = 3x
2x−3(y+1)=−2 2x - 3(y + 1) = -2

What is the value of the expression x−yx - y?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 2

Cevap

2
The correct answer is derived by first simplifying both equations into standard form (x + y = 8 and 2x - 3y = 1). By applying the elimination method, we find the system's solution is x = 5 and y = 3. Finally, evaluating the specific requested expression gives us x - y = 5 - 3 = 2.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Simplify the first equation.
x + y = 8
Equations must be in standard form to easily apply elimination or substitution.
2
Simplify the second equation.
2x - 3y = 1
Expanding the terms and grouping variables on one side creates the standard form.
3
Multiply the simplified first equation by 3.
3x + 3y = 24
This aligns the y-coefficients (3y and -3y) for the elimination method.
4
Add the modified first equation to the simplified second equation.
5x = 25
Adding the equations eliminates the y variable, allowing us to solve for x.
5
Divide both sides by 5.
x = 5
Isolates the variable x.
6
Substitute x = 5 into the simplified first equation (x + y = 8).
y = 3
This finds the value of the remaining variable, y.
7
Evaluate the target expression (x - y).
5 - 3 = 2
The question specifically asks for the difference between x and y, not just their individual values.

A cafe sells muffins and scones. A customer purchases 22 muffins and 11 scone for a total of 1111 dollars. If the price of one scone is 44 dollars less than the price of 33 muffins, what is the price of one scone in dollars?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 5

Cevap

The price of one scone is 55 dollars.
By translating the word problem into a system of two equations (2m+s=112m + s = 11 and s=3m−4s = 3m - 4) and using substitution, we find that m=3m = 3 and s=5s = 5. Thus, the price of one scone is 55.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Define variables and set up the equations based on the word problem.
Let mm = price of a muffin and ss = price of a scone. The equations are 2m+s=112m + s = 11 and s=3m−4s = 3m - 4.
Translating the text into algebraic equations allows us to solve for the unknown values.
2
Substitute the expression for ss from the second equation into the first equation.
2m+(3m−4)=112m + (3m - 4) = 11
This eliminates the variable ss, leaving an equation with only one variable, mm.
3
Solve the resulting equation for mm.
5m−4=11⇒5m=15⇒m=35m - 4 = 11 \Rightarrow 5m = 15 \Rightarrow m = 3
Isolating mm gives us the price of one muffin.
4
Substitute the value of mm back into the equation for ss.
s=3(3)−4=9−4=5s = 3(3) - 4 = 9 - 4 = 5
This calculates the price of the scone, which is the final requested value.

The speed for the remaining distance is 3232 miles per hour.
To find the unknown speed, you must isolate the distance and time for the final segment. First, the time for the 1010-mile stretch is calculated as 0.50.5 hours, which is equivalent to 3030 minutes. Subtracting this from the total 4545 minutes leaves 1515 minutes (or 0.250.25 hours) to travel the remaining 88 miles. Dividing the 88 miles by the 0.250.25 hours of remaining time yields a final speed of 3232 miles per hour.

A technician connects a 10 μF10\text{ }\mu\text{F} capacitor in parallel with a 22 μF22\text{ }\mu\text{F} capacitor in a power supply filter circuit. What is the total equivalent capacitance of this combination in microfarads (μF\mu\text{F})?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 32

Cevap

32 uF
When capacitors are connected in parallel, their total capacitance is the direct sum of the individual capacitances: Ctotal=C1+C2C_{\text{total}} = C_1 + C_2. Adding 10 μF10\text{ }\mu\text{F} and 22 μF22\text{ }\mu\text{F} results in a total equivalent capacitance of 32 μF32\text{ }\mu\text{F}.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the circuit configuration and the relevant formula for equivalent capacitance.
The two capacitors are connected in parallel, meaning their total capacitance is the sum of their individual capacitances: Ctotal=C1+C2C_{\text{total}} = C_1 + C_2.
Connecting capacitors in parallel effectively increases the total plate surface area, allowing more electric charge to be stored at a given voltage.
2
Calculate the sum of the individual capacitances.
Ctotal=10 μF+22 μF=32 μFC_{\text{total}} = 10\text{ }\mu\text{F} + 22\text{ }\mu\text{F} = 32\text{ }\mu\text{F}.
Direct addition yields the total equivalent capacitance.

Anahtar Kavram

Total capacitance in a parallel circuit is calculated by directly adding the individual capacitances (Ctotal=C1+C2+…C_{\text{total}} = C_1 + C_2 + \dots).

A portable two-way radio is powered by four 1.5 V1.5\text{ V} battery cells connected in series aiding. What is the total electromotive force (EMF) supplied to the radio circuit, in volts?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 6

Cevap

The total electromotive force supplied is 6.0 V6.0\text{ V} (or 6 V6\text{ V}).
Connecting direct current (DC) cells in series aiding connects the positive terminal of each cell to the negative terminal of the next, causing their individual potential differences to combine additively. Therefore, four 1.5 V1.5\text{ V} cells produce a total EMF of 4×1.5 V=6.0 V4 \times 1.5\text{ V} = 6.0\text{ V}.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Apply the series voltage addition principle
Vtotal=V1+V2+V3+V4V_{\text{total}} = V_1 + V_2 + V_3 + V_4
When voltage sources are connected in series aiding, their individual potential differences add together directly to provide the total electromotive force.
2
Perform the calculation for four identical 1.5 V1.5\text{ V} cells
Vtotal=4×1.5 V=6.0 VV_{\text{total}} = 4 \times 1.5\text{ V} = 6.0\text{ V}
Multiplying the single-cell potential by the quantity of series-connected cells yields the overall circuit EMF.

A fuel tank on a generator is initially 78\frac{7}{8} full. After the generator consumes 1515 gallons of fuel, the tank is exactly 14\frac{1}{4} full. What is the total capacity of the fuel tank in gallons?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 24

Cevap

The total capacity of the fuel tank is 24 gallons.
The correct answer is derived by finding the difference in the fraction of the tank's capacity (78−14=58\frac{7}{8} - \frac{1}{4} = \frac{5}{8}). Since this 58\frac{5}{8} portion corresponds to 1515 gallons, the total capacity is found by dividing 1515 by 58\frac{5}{8}, which yields 2424 gallons.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Find a common denominator for the given fractions.
14=28\frac{1}{4} = \frac{2}{8}
To subtract the fractions, they must have the same denominator.
2
Calculate the fraction of the tank that was consumed by the generator.
78−28=58\frac{7}{8} - \frac{2}{8} = \frac{5}{8}
The difference between the initial and final fuel levels represents the exact amount consumed.
3
Set up an algebraic equation linking the fraction consumed to the actual volume in gallons.
58×Capacity=15\frac{5}{8} \times \text{Capacity} = 15
We know that 58\frac{5}{8} of the total capacity corresponds directly to the 1515 gallons used.
4
Solve the equation for the total capacity.
15×85=2415 \times \frac{8}{5} = 24
Multiplying by the reciprocal of the fraction isolates the capacity variable.
