A. define the variables : a = abby's miles, j = james' miles

b. a = j + 4......j = a - 4

c. a + j = 28
    a = j + 4
    
 d. (j + 4) + j = 28
      2j + 4 = 28
      2j = 28 - 4
      2j = 24
       j = 24/2
       j = 12
  
       a = j + 4
       a = 12 + 4
       a = 16

e. check..
     a + j = 28
     16 + 12 = 28
      28 = 28 (correct)

solution is : abby's miles (a) = 16
                   james' miles (j) = 12

What is the value of the function when x = 4?<br><br> y = 3x + 7
adelina 88 [10]

2x - 3y = 7 and -3x + y = 7..multiply Equation 2 by THREE and add to Equation 1
-9x + 3y = 21...........................watch the y's disappear
-7x........ = 28
x = -4
substitute -4 instead of x in either of the ORIGINAL equations

2x - 3y = 7
2(-4) - 3y = 7
-8 -3y = 7..........add 8 to both sides
-3y = 15
y = -5

im not sure

What is equivalent to the square root of -27
lions [1.4K]
For the square root of a negative number, you would have to get into imaginary numbers. If you haven't learned about it yet, then the answer would be no real solutions. But if you have, here's how to solve it:

First, identify that 9 x 3 = 27. To after taking the square root, you will get 3√3 (Since the square root of 9 is 3 and there's no square root of 3, so leave it in the √)

However, since it is a negative number, you will have to include the letter i in the answer. i represents the imaginary part of it since you can't have a negative number in the square root.

So your answer will look like 3i√3.

Will give brainliest <br> A ?<br> B?<br> C ?
dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

A: 180°         B: 360°         C: 540°

Step-by-step explanation:

A: The measures of interior angles of a triangle sum to 180°. Since figure ABC is a triangle, the interior angles of figure ABC sum to 180°.

B: We can see the quadrilateral ACDE is a trapezoid. If you can see, the trapezoid can be split into two triangles if you connect points C and E. As U mentioned before, the measures of interior angles of a triangle sum to 180°. Since we know figure ACDE can be split into <u>two triangles</u> we have to do: 180x2 which is 360°.

C: Now that we know the Pentagon ABCDE can be split into 3 triangles(1 from figure ABC and 2 from figure ACDE), we have to multiply 180 by 3 because like I mentioned before, the measures of interior angles of a triangle sum to 180°. So, 180x3=540°.
