I'm going to use the substitution method.
If y = - 3/2 - 7, then:
1/2x + 5 = - 3/2x - 7
Combine like terms:
4/2x = - 12. Mutiply both sides by 2/4 to get x = -12 (2/4)
Simplify to get:
x = - 6.
Plug - 6 back in for x in either equation.
Y = 1/2( - 6) + 5 which becomes Y = - 3 + 5.
X = - 6, Y = 2
Answer:
MK
Step-by-step explanation:
ML is the short side of right triangle MLK. MJ is the hypotenuse of right triangle MKJ. This gives you a clue that the ratios of interest are the short side to the hypotenuse. All these right triangles are similar, so ...
ML/MK = MK/MJ . . . . . ratio of short side to hypotenuse is the same
ML·MJ = MK² . . . . . . . cross multiply
MK = √(ML·MJ) . . . . . the geometric mean of ML and MJ is MK
<span>We have to find the value of x if the measures of the angles of a triangle are: 2 x, 3 x and 4 x. We know that the sum of the measures of the angles of a triangle is 180 degrees. A + B + C = 180. Here we have: A = 2 x, B = 3 x and C = 4 x; 2 x + 3 x + 4 x = 180; 9 x = 180; x = 180 : 9. Answer: x = 20 degrees.</span>
