Answer:

2(2y - 1) - y = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

I guess the 2 equations are

2x - y = 7

x = 2y - 1

substitution message that you use one equation to express one variable by the other, and then you use that in the other equation to get one equation for one variable. then you solve for that, and use that result in the first equation to since for the second variable.

the equations are already defined that way, that the second equation directly defines x as an excision of y.

so, this needs to be used then in the first equation.

and that makes

2(2y - 1) - y = 7

the correct first step.

What is m∠A ? Please see attachment (The Triangle Sum Theorem)

goblinko [34]

The triangle sum theorem says all 3 interior angles must equal 180 degrees.

so, 43 + 35 = 78. [ 180 - 78 = 102 degrees for the missing angles shared by the 2 triangles.

102 + 18 = 120. [180 - 120 = 60}

leaving the measure of Angle A as 60 degrees.

Factor as the product of two binomials x^2-3x-10

cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

(x-5)(x+2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello there!

Your expression there has a highest power of $x^{2}$ , so there will be two constants that you need to find.

Your last term is -10, so the constants will have a product of -10. Also your middle term is -3x, so the terms will add up to -3

-5 and 2 fit the mold.

Have a great day!
