Answer:

m = 3, n = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve using the substitution process. First, start with the second equation:

2m + 2n = 14

Simplify. Divide 2 from all terms within the equation. What you do to one side, you do to the other:

(2m + 2n)/2 = (14)/2

m + n = 7

Isolate the variable m. Subtract n from both sides:

m + n (-n) = 7 (-n)

m = 7 - n

Plug in 7 - n for m in the first equation:

-5m + 9n = 21

-5(7 - n) + 9n = 21

Solve. First, distribute -5 to all terms within the parenthesis:

(-35 + 5n) + 9n = 21

Simplify. Combine like terms:

-35 + (5n + 9n) = 21

-35 + 14n = 21

Isolate the variable, n. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS. First, add 35 to both sides:

14n - 35 (+35) = 21 (+35)

14n = 21 + 35

14n = 56

Isolate the variable n. Divide 14 from both sides:

(14n)/14 = (56)/14

n = 56/14

n = 4

Plug in 4 to n in one of the equations, and solve for m.

2m + 2n = 14

2m + 2(4) = 14

2m + 8 = 14

Isolate the variable, m. Do the opposite of PEMDAS. First, subtract 8 from both sides:

2m + 8 (-8) = 14 (-8)

2m = 14 - 8

2m = 6

Divide 2 from both sides:

(2m)/2 = (6)/2

m = 6/2

m = 3

Your answers: m = 3, n = 4

Answer:

(3, 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Please include the instructions.  I'm assuming that you want to solve this system of linear equations.

If that's the case, let's use elimination by addition and subtraction.

Multiply the first equation, -5m + 9n = 21, by 2:  -10m + 18n = 42, and

multiply the second equation, 2m + 2n = 14, by 5:  10m + 10n = 70

Next, combine these two "new" equations:

-10m + 18n = 42

10m + 10n = 70

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

          28n = 112.  Dividing both sides by 28, we get  n = 4.

Subbing 4 for n in the second equation, we get 2m + 2(4) = 14, or

2m = 6.  Then m = 3, and the solution is thus

(3, 4).

Answer:

  ASA

Step-by-step explanation:

The shared angle, the marked angle, and the marked sides between those angles are congruent. That is, you have congruent Angle, Side, Angle, so the ASA postulate applies.

A restaurant has 5 pizza toppings to choose from. How many different 2-topping pizzas are possible?
horsena [70]
10


Because if you do 5•2 you get 10

More in depth explanation:

Though there are 25 possible configurations the question asks for two different toppings together. It also asks for unique combinations. So AB and BA are the same combination in this context. The only unique possibilities are

AB
AC
AD
AE
BC
BD
BE
CD
CE
DE

It is easy to simplify this into 5•2 for this situation. And if the question asked for three toppings you would do 5•3.

However if the question asked for the configurations for two toppings then you would do 5•5 and if it asked for the configurations of 3 toppings you would do 5•5•5
