A + b + c = 12
c = (a + b) - 2.....c - a - b = -2
3a + 1 = 2c

add the first 2 equations
a + b + c = 12
-a - b + c = -2
------------------add
2c = 10
c = 5 <== longest side is 5

sub in 5 for c in the 3rd equation
3a + 1 = 2c
3a + 1 = 2(5)
3a + 1 = 10
3a = 10 - 1
3a = 9
a = 3 <== shortest side

now sub in 5 for c and 3 for a back into the first equation
a + b + c = 12
3 + b + 5 = 12
b + 8 = 12
b = 12 - 8
b = 4 <== other side

Solve the system of equations. y = 2x y = x 2 – 15
inn [45]

Answer:

D. (–3, –6) and (5, 10)

Step-by-step explanation:

The system has equations:

y=2x...(1)

and

y=x^2-15...(2)

Equate both equations;

x^2-15=2x

Rewrite in standard form:

x^2-2x-15=0

We factor to obtain:

(x+3)(x-5)=0

By the zero product principle;

(x+3)=0,(x-5)=0

\implies x=-3,x=5

When x=-3, y=2(-3)=-6

This yields the ordered pair (-3,-6).

When x=5, y=2(5)=10

This yields the ordered pair (5,10).

The correct choice is D.

A baseball card bought for $75 increases in value by 3% per year. what is the value of the card after 15 years
sammy [17]
If the value of the baseball card increases by 3% per year then we can say that each year the value of the card may be multiplied by 103% = 1.03, thus:

Value after n years = original price*(1.03)^n
Value after 15 years = 75*(1.03)^15
= $116.85
