Distributive property: a(b + c) = ab + ac
4n - 2 - 2n = 2(2n - 1 - n)
4n - 2 - 2n = 2n - 2 = 2(n - 1)
Answer: 3/4
Step-by-step explanation:
<h3>
Answer: 48</h3>
=====================================================
Explanation:
Triangle ABC is isosceles because AC = BC.
The angles opposite these congruent sides are angle ABC and angle BAC. These are the base angles.
For any isosceles triangle, the base angles are congruent.
Angle BAC = 69 degrees is given. So angle ABC = 69 as well.
-------------------
The missing angle must add to the two other angles so that all three angles in a triangle add to 180
(angle ABC) + (angle BAC) + (angle BCA) = 180
69 + 69 + (angle BCA) = 180
138 + (angle BCA) = 180
angle BCA = 180-138
angle BCA = 42
-------------------
Angle DCE is congruent to angle BCA because they are vertical angles.
Triangle DCE is a right triangle. The missing angle is 90-(angle BCA) = 90-42 = 48
angle EDC = 48 degrees
This is a system of equations.
First, you set everything in terms of y.
Take the first equation and move set everything equal to y
y=0+2x
Since it’s 0, you don’t need to put it, so
y=2x works.
Then, you plug y=2x into the bottom equation, for the y.
-7x +3(2x)=2. You do this because now you have the same variable for both and it can be solved easily.
Then you can simplify.
-7x+3x = 2
Then combine like terms.
-4x = 2
Divide by -4 on each side.
x = -1/2
So, now that you have x, you can plug in your x-value back into the top equation.
-2(-1/2) + y = 0
Combine like terms
1+y=0
Get y by itself
y=-1
There you have it!
You can check by plugging in both values to any of the equations. We will use the top one here.
-2(-1/2) + (-1) =0
+1 + -1 = 0
It works!
So,
X= -1/2
Y= -1
