5y + 4 = 6x-8 would be it
First set up the equation (sum of the angles is 180)
2x + 2(x-1) + (5x +2) = 180
distribute:
2x + 2x -2 + 5x +2 = 180
combine like terms:
9x = 180
solve for x:
x = 20
SO:
2x° = 2(20) = 40 degrees
2(x-1)° = 2(20) - 2 = 40 - 2 = 38 degrees
5x + 2°= 5(20) + 2 = 100 + 2=102 degrees
check: 40 + 38 + 102 = 180
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let z and b represent the number of packs that Zack and Brian bought, respectively. Then the problem statement tells us ...
b = 2z -3 . . . . . . . Brian bought 3 fewer than twice what Zack bought
b + z = 30 . . . . . . they bought a total of 30 packs
Using the first equation to substitute into the second, we have ...
(2z -3) +z = 30
3z -3 = 30
3z = 33 . . . . . . add 3
z = 11
b = 2·11 -3 = 22 -3 = 19
_____
<em>Check</em>
b + z = 19 + 11 = 30 . . . . answer checks OK
Zack bought 11 packs; Brian bought 19 packs of gum.
Answer:
y = -2x + 3
y = -1/2x + 5
Step-by-step explanation:
- So the best way to solve is to come up with two slopes, I'd prefer 2 perpendicular slopes because perpendicular lines only cross once hence one solution guaranteed
- so say we choose a slopeA = 2 and slopeB = -1/2, the slopes are perpendicular only if when you multiply them you get -1
- then we use the slope intercept form of an equation y = mx + b
- we make up two equations y = -2x + b and y = -1/2x + b , now we can just make up number for b so the two equations are
- y = -2x + 3
- y = -1/2x + 5
- Then we solve them by substituting for y so
- -1/2x + 5 = -2x + 3 and x = -4/3
- and then we put this to get y in either equation
- y = -2(-4/3) + 3
- y = 17/3
- So the equations work
