Answer: [B]: " (-6, 9) " .
_______________________________
Explanation:
_______________________________________
Given the following system of equations:
_______________________________________
x + y = 3 ;

y = 9 ;
_________________________________

Substitute "9" for "y" in the first equation; to solve for "x"; we already have our value for "y" ;   "y = 9 " ; (given) ;

____________________________
      x + 9 = 3 ;

Subtract "9" from EACH side of the equation;
_____________________________________
     x + 9 − 9 = 3 − 9 ;

to get:
_____________________________________
         x = -6 .
_____________________________________

Check our answer:

x + y = 3
________________
-6 + 9 =? 3 ?   Yes!
_____________________
The answer for the system of equations is:
_____________________________________
     x = -6, y = 9 ; or, write as: (-6, 9) .
_____________________________________
   which is: Answer choice: [B]: " (-6, 9) " .
_____________________________________

Samantha has 4 boxes of action figures. Each box contains 198 figures. which expression shows a strategy Samantha can use to fin

Lynna [10]

Number of action figures each box contains = 198

Total number of boxes = 4

The product can be found as = $4\times198$

hence, option 2 is the correct answer.

4 x (200 - 2) = $4\times198$

Equation A:

pentagon [3]

The answer is –x + 5 = 6x - 2. This is because of the Transitive Property.

You most likely remember the transitive property as "if a = b and b = c, then a = c." In this case, if y = -x + 5 and y = 6x - 2, then -x + 5 = 6x - 2.

ZEFG and ZGFH are a linear pair, mZEFG = 3n+ 21, and mZGFH = 2n + 34. What are mZEFG and mZGFH?

marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

∠EFG and ∠GFH are a linear pair, m∠EFG = 3n+ 21, and m∠GFH = 2n + 34. What are m∠EFG and m∠GFH?

Solution:

Two angles are said to form a linear pair if they share a base. Linear pair angles are adjacent angles formed along a line as a result of the intersection of two lines. Linear pairs are always supplementary (that is they add up to 180°).

m∠EFG = 3n + 21, m∠GFH = 2n + 34. Both angles form linear pairs, hence:

m∠EFG + m∠GFH = 180°

3n + 21 + (2n + 34) = 180

3n + 2n + 21 + 34 = 180

5n + 55 = 180

5n = 125

n = 25

Therefore, m∠EFG = 3(25) + 21 = 96°, m∠GFH = 2(25) + 34 = 84°
