X=70, y=55
The triangle is an isosceles triangles. In an isosceles triangle, the base angles are congruent.
Then use the triangle angle sum theorem and set the equation to 180.
55+55+x=180
110+x=180
x=70
The angle with 55 degrees and the angle with the variable y are alternate angles. Meaning they are congruent.
Answer:
x = -11/5 and y = 24/5
Step-by-step explanation:
Use elimination.
First, we need to multiply so that at least one variable can cancel out.
We can multiply the top equation by 2.
So we get
4x + 6y = 20
Then, we can use elimination.
The x's cancel out.
So we get 5y = 24
Or y = 24/5
Then, we can plug in this y value back into the first equation to find x.
2x + 3(24/5) = 10
2x + 72/5 = 50/5
2x = -22/5
x = -11/5
So x = -11/5 and y = 24/5

Explanation:
Problems 1, 2, and 5 are exponential functions of the form
where b is the base of the exponent and 'a' is the starting term (when x=0).
If 0 < b < 1, then the exponential function decreases or decays. Perhaps a classic example would be to study how a certain element decays into something else. The exponential curve goes downhill when moving to the right.
If b > 1, then we have exponential growth or increase. Population models could be one example; though keep in mind that there is a carrying capacity at some point. The exponential curve goes uphill when moving to the right.
In problems 1 and 5, we have b = 2 and b = 1.1 respectively. We can see b > 1 leads to exponential growth. I recommend making either a graph or table of values to see what's going on.
Meanwhile, problem 2 has b = 0.8 to represent exponential decay of 20%. It loses 20% of its value each time x increases by 1.
---------------------
Problems 3 and 4 are linear functions of the form y = mx+b
m = slope
b = y intercept
This b value is not to be confused with the previously mentioned b value used with exponential functions. They're two different things. Unfortunately letters tend to get reused.
If m is positive, then the linear function is said to be increasing. The line goes uphill when moving to the right.
On the other hand if m is negative, then we go downhill while moving to the right. This line is decreasing.
Problem 3 has a negative slope, so it is decreasing. Problem 4 has a positive slope which is increasing.
Answer:44
Step-by-step explanation:
0.2x+(-0.9)+1.7==9.6
0.2x+0.8=9.6
Subtract 0.8 from both sides
0.2x+0.8-0.8=9.6-0.8
0.2x=8.8
Divide both sides by 0.2
0.2x ➗ 0.2=8.8 ➗ 0.2
x=44
