Step-by-step explanation:
- 5x+12=6x+7 (opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal)
- 12=x+7 (subtract 5x from both sides)
- x=5 (subtract 7 from both sides)
- Now put x in any of the equations-- 5(5)+12=37 or 6(5) +7=37
If 455 changes to a higher number the mean which is the average should increase to a higher number
<u>Answer:</u>
<u>Solution:</u>
-x - 6y = -23
<u>Now, let's substitute the value of y into the first equation.</u>
- x + 4y = 17
- => x + 4(3) = 17
- => x + 12 = 17
- => x = 5
<u>Let's check our answer to make sure it is correct.</u>
<u>Check:</u>
- -x - 6y = -23
- => -(5) - 6(3) = -23
- => -5 - 18 = -23
- => -23 = -23
Hence, this is proven correct.
