We have the variable y so lets substitute
y=-3x-2
2x+5y=16

2x+5y=16
2x+5(-3x-2)=16
2x-15x-10=16
-13x=26
x=-2

y=-3x-2
  =-3(-2)-2
  =4

2x+5y=16
2(-2)+5(4)=16
-4+20=16
16=16

You have to get a variable by itself like in here... Y is itself so in the other equation or we can say second one you just have to sub it in... Like

2x+5(-3x-2)=16
2x-15x-10=16
Now you just have to subtract 2 from 15, because of the same variable that is (x)
So -13x-10=16
Take 10 to the other side means add from the both sides, that will get you at
-13x=26
So now x= -2
Remember you added because it was -10 if it would be a positive 10 then you have to subtract it from both of the sides but since here it was negative so you just added them up
Hope i helped

Prove that the sides opposite the congruent base angles of a triangle are congruent. Be sure to create and name the appropriate
lakkis [162]

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Start by dividing the isosceles triangle in half along the upper vertex angle (not the congruent base angles). This creates two right triangles. Since you divide the triangle in half along an angle, they both have an equal base angle, and they share a side, they are congruent by ASA. Since the corresponding sides of congruent triangles are equal, the sides opposite the congruent base angles of a triangle must be congruent.

Hope this helps!

Given right triangle ABC, what is the value of tan(A)?
Angelina_Jolie [31]
You didn't provide more information regarding triangle but from given options, it seems that triangle has ratio from shortest side to longest side would be 5 : 12 : 13

So 13 would be hypotenuse since it is longest.

Now A cannot be right angle because tangent is not defined at 90°.

Also tan(A) would be ratio of opponent side to adjacent side (think SOH CAH TOA)

So either opposite side would be 5 or 12, and adjacent side would be 12 or 5 respectively.

So the answer is either 5 / 12 or 12 / 5 but only option provided is 12/5 so that would be your answer.

Final answer: 12 / 5
