You can identify the lines and their colour either by
1. the y-intercepts.
First equation has a y-intercept of 3 and second has a y-intercept of 2.
So first equation is blue, and second is red.
2. the slopes
First equation has a negative slope (so blue), and second has a positive slope (so red).
Now work on each of the equations.
1. first equation (blue)
If we put x=0, we end up with the equation y≤3, the ≤ sign indicates that the region is BELOW the BLUE line.
2. second equation (red).
If we put x=0, we end up with the equation y>2, the > sign indicates that the region is ABOVE the RED line AND the red line should be dotted (full line if ≥).
So at the point, it won't be too hard to find the correct region.
To confirm, take a point definitely in the region, such as (-6,0) and substitute in each equation to make sure that both conditions are satisfied.
Answer:
The answer is A :)) hehe.
It sounds like everything is being described in reference to angle A, so a good starting point is to pick a variable to represent the measure of angle A. I'm going to use "a" for that.
Next, I'm going to take the verbal descriptions in the problem and "translate" them into "math language". They say angle B is 5 times angle A, so that means the measure of angle B is actually 5a. The size of angle C is 5 degrees less than 4 times the size of A, so that translates to 4a-5.
We now know the following:
Angle A: a
Angle B: 5a
Angle C: 4a-5
Now, to find the value of a, we need to remember that all the angles in a triangle add up to 180 degrees.
So we have: a+5a+4a-5 = 180
We can solve that equation by combining like terms to get: 10a-5=180
We can add 5 to both sides: 10a =185
And divide by 10: a = 18.5
That tells us the measure of angle A! (It's 18.5 degrees). Now we can go back and find B by multiplying A by 5. We get 92.5 degrees for that.
Finally, we can find C by taking 4*18.5-5. We get 69 degrees for that.
One last thing-- let's check that they really do add up to 180! 69+92.5+18.5 = 180. Yep!
Hope that helps you!!
I think the answer is 10/7 or 3.82
