Hey there! I'm happy to help!

We have two values for y. Since y=y, this means that −2x + 4 and − 1/3x − 1 are equal as well, so we can put them in an equation and solve for x.

−2x + 4 = − 1/3x − 1

We subtract 4 from both sides.

-2x=-1/3x-5

We add 1/3 x to both sides.

-5/3x=-5

We divide both sides by -1 2/3.

x=3

Now, we plug this into one of the original equations to find y.

y=-2(3)+4

y=-6+4

y=-2

Therefore, the solution is (3,-2) or x=3 and y=-2.

I hope that this helps! Have a wonderful day! :D

A triangle with exterior angles is shown. A triangle sits on a line and forms 2 exterior angles on the left and right of the tri

NARA [144]

Answer:

Option 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that a triangle sits on a line and forms 2 exterior angles on the left and right of the triangle of (2h) degrees.

The top interior angle of the triangle is 40 degrees.

$\angle BAC=40$

From the given figure it is clear that

$\angle ABC+2h=180$ (Supplementary angle)

$\angle ABC=180-2h$

$\angle ACB+2h=180$ (Supplementary angle)

$\angle ACB=180-2h$

According to the angle sum property of triangle, the sum of all interior angles of a triangle is 180 degree.

$\angle ABC+\angle ACB+\angle BAC=180$

$(180-2h)+(180-2h)+40=180$

Combine like terms.

$(180+180+40)+(-2h-2h)=180$

$400-4h=180$

$-4h=180-400$

$-4h=-220$

Divide both sides by -4.

$h=\frac{-220}{-4}$

$h=55$

The value of h is 55.

Therefore, the correct option is 3.

Y = ( 3 / 4 )x - 4 and ( 3 / 2 )x + ( 3 / 4 )y = 16 ;
Then, ( 3 / 2 )x + ( 3 / 4 )[ ( 3 / 4 )x - 4 ] = 16 ;
( 3 / 2 )x + ( 9 / 16 )x - 3 = 16 ;
( 3 / 2 )x + ( 9 / 16 )x = 19 ;
( 24 / 16 )x + ( 9 / 16 )x = 304 / 16 ;
24x + 9x = 304 ;
33x = 304 ;
x = 9.(21);
y = ( 3 / 4 ) × 9.(21) - 4 = 2.90 ;
