Answer:

The two numbers are:

8 and 13

Step-by-step explanation:

a = 2b - 3       Eq. 1

a + b = 21        Eq. 2

Replacing Eq. 1 in Eq. 2:

(2b-3) + b = 21

3b - 3 = 21

3b = 21 + 3

3b = 24

b = 24/3

b = 8

from Eq. 1

a = 2*8 - 3

a = 16 - 3

a = 13

Check:

From Eq. 2:

a + b = 21

13 + 8 = 21

The answer is 142 degrees. Angles m<1 and the 38 degree angle are supplementary angles. Supplementary angles equal 180 degrees so, you would do 38 + m<1 = 180. Since you don’t know angle 1, you would subtract 38 from both sides. Once you do that, you get your answer of 142 degrees.

Add the equations.<br>2x-3y = -1<br>+ 3x + 3y= 26<br><br>​
hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

The answer in the procedure

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

2x-3y=-1 ----> equation A

3x+3y=26 --> equation B

Solve the system by elimination

Adds equation A and equation B

2x-3y=-1

3x+3y=26

----------------

2x+3x=-1+26

5x=25

x=25/5

x=5

Find the value of y

substitute the value of x in equation A or equation B and solve for y

2(5)-3y=-1

10-3y=-1

3y=10+1

y=11/3

Olin [163]

Hey DatGamer13!

Question:

Solve for x

Solution:

Subtract 10 from both sides.

3x^2 + 13x − 10 = 10 − 10

3x^2 + 13x − 10 = 0

Factor left side of equation.

(3x − 2) (x + 5) = 0

Set factors equal to 0.

3x − 2 = 0 or x + 5 = 0

Answer:

x = 2/3 or x = −5
