The equation of the line will be (assuming the y-intercept equal to zero):

y = 2.5*x

<h3>What is Tahila's mistake?</h3>

We know that we have a linear equation of the form:

y = a*x + b

Such that we know that the line passes through (-3, -7.5), notice that the proposed equation is:

y = 0.5*x

If you evaluate that in -3, you get:

y = 0.5*-3 = -1.5

So this line does not pass through (-3, -7.5).

If we assume that b = 0 in the linear equation, then we can find the value of a as:

-7.5  =  a*-3

a = 7.5/3 = 2.5

Then the linear equation is:

y = 2.5*x

AC=4, AE=7, AD=10, what is the length of AB? <br> A: 1 3/7 <br> B: 2 1/2<br> C: 5 5/7<br> D: 17 1/2

Answer:

C. AB = 5\frac{5}{7}

Step-by-step explanation:

When two polygons are considered similar, the ratio of their corresponding sides would also be equal.

Since ∆ABC and ∆ADE are similar, \frac{AE}{AC} = \frac{AD}{AB}

\frac{7}{4} = \frac{10}{AB}

Cross multiply

7*AB = 10*4

7*AB = 40

Divide both sides by 7 to find AB

\frac{7*AB}{7} = \frac{40}{7}

AB = \frac{40}{7}

AB = 5\frac{5}{7}

Subsubstitution solving for x ​
yuradex [85]

y = 8x - 18

2x - 8(8x - 18) = 20

2x + -64x + 144 = 20

-62x + 144 = 20

-62x = -124

x = 2

Solve the system of equations algebraically. Show all of your steps
Katyanochek1 [597]
I am going to explain this using the substitution method, considering it appears to be the best in this situation.

We know (from the bottom equation) that y can equal 3x+20. Using this knowledge, we substitute the y in the top equation for 3x+20. Now, we have an equation that looks like this:

3x+20=x^2+2x

Now we need to move x to one side and then do some radicals (square roots).
Subtract the 2x on the right (since it is smaller, negatives = NONONO), which will give you

x+20=x^2

Now, we take the square root of both sides to get

rad(x+20)=x

Now we have to simplify. 20 doesn't have a square root, but 4 goes into 20, and 4 has a square root of 2. This now becomes

2rad(x+5)

This doesn't simplify any further... we have a problem... no way to isolate x as far as my knowledge goes... Sorry, can't help you any further than that, but another person or your teacher might be able to. R.I.P...
