A line that is parallel to a side and intersects the other two siddes divides the sides proportionally.
Set up the proportion
2/x+1 = x/x+6
Multiply means and extremes
2x+12= x^2+ x
Solve to get your answer.
Answer:
a - 30.2
b - 271.8
Step-by-step explanation:
60/4=15
60/3=20
9+6.45+2.4+8.15+4.2=30.2
30.2x9=271.8
we have
y > -2
x + y < 4
using a graph tool
see the attached figure
The shaded area is the solution of the system
<u>Part 1) </u>Name an ordered pair that is a solution to this system and explain how you know that this is a solution point
Let
A ( -40,20)
The point A is solution of the system because the point lie on the shaded area
<u>Check</u>
If the point A is solution of the system must satisfy both system inequalities
point A
x=-40
y=20
substitute
y > -2-------> 20 > -2-------> is ok
x + y < 4----> -40+20 < 4-----> -20 < 4-----> is ok
therefore
<u>the answer Part 1) is</u>
The point A is a solution of the system
Part 2) Name an ordered pair that is not a solution to the system and explain how you know that it is not a solution
Let
B(20,20)
The point B is not solution of the system because the point not lie on the shaded area
<u>Check</u>
If the point B is not solution of the system must not satisfy both system inequalities
point B
x=20
y=20
substitute
y > -2 -------> 20 > -2-------> is ok
x + y < 4---->20+20 < 4-----> 40 < 4------> is not ok
therefore
<u>the answer part 2) is</u>
The point B is not a solution to the system
B. As the x-values increase, the y- valuebtend to decrease.
