X- small              y- big

y=3x-6
3y=4x+7

we have to solve this, i am going to set the eq equal to each other

3(y=3x-6) = (3y=9x-18)
we mult the top eq by 3 to set them equal since the right side is equal to 3y.

9x-18=4x+7
9x=4x+25
5x=25
x=5 
plug back into eq y=3(5)-6                 y = 9 x = 5

Find the solution of 3 times the square root of the quantity of x plus 5 equals negative 9, and determine if it is an extraneous
Alecsey [184]
3*(x+5)^(1/2)=-9
(x+5)^(1/2)=-3
x+5=9
x=4
3*(4+5)^(1/2)=-9
3*(9)^(1/2)=-9
3*3=-9

14.What is the solution of the system?
Archy [21]

Answer:

14.  x=-2.5,  y = -7

15.  x=28  y = -20

Step-by-step explanation:

14.  Let's solve this system by elimination.  Multiply the first equation by -1.

-1*(4x-y)= -1*(- 3)

-4x +y = 3

Then add this to the second equation.

-4x+y = 3

6x-y= - 8

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

2x   = -5


Divide each side by 2

x = -2.5

We still need to find y

-4x+y =3

-4(-2.5) + y =3

10 +y =3

Subtract 10 from each side.

y = 3-10

y = -7


15.I will again use elimination to solve this system, because using substitution will give me fractions which are harder to work with.   I will elimiate the y variable.  Multiply the first equation by 11

11( 5x+6y)= 11*20

55x+66y = 220

Multiply the second equation by -6

-6(9x+11y)=32*(-6)

-54x-66y = -192


Add the modified equations together.

55x+66y = 220

-54x-66y = -192

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

x = 28

We still need to solve for y

5x+6y = 20

5*28 + 6y =20

140 + 6y = 20

Subtract 140 from each side

6y = -120

Divide by 6

y = -20

Please help me with this I’m confused please explain
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

25. If you look at angle B from the first figure you see a square that indicates a 90 degrees angle, thus the figure shown is a right triangle. You can also see that angle C is said to have 60 degrees. a right triangle has a total angle of 180 degrees. so, 180 - 90 - 60 = 30 degrees. Therefore, angle A is 30 degrees.

27. Now you want the measure of the hypotenuse, and you know this a right triangle. so, simply use the law of sines to find the measure of AC :

4cm/sin(60) = AC/Sin90

AC = 4.62 cm

29. angle z is in the other figure and same stuff, just substract the angles, you have 90 degrees and 30 degrees... 180 - 90 - 30 = 60 degrees

31. Angle Y = 90 degrees

this value is already given, it's the little square that indicates a 90 degrees angle.

26. 5 cm

28. 90 degrees

30. You already found AC, use the pythagorean theorem. sqrt((4.62)^2 - 4^2) = 2.31 cm

32. use pythagoras again, square root(5^2 - 3^2) = 4

So as you can see all the measurements are the same because if you see at the very top of your figures it says ABC = XYZ which means pretty much that they have the same values (notice that there is a little something added to the = sign, watch out for that because that's what indicates that two figures are equal in terms of angles and measures.
