Answer:
x = 2.25
Step-by-step explanation:
-9(x - 5) = x + 22 1/2
Distribute the nine and then add 9x to both sides
-9x + 45 = x +22 1/2
+ 9x + 9x
Then try to get x alone
45 = 10x + 22 1/2
-22 1/2 -22 1/2
22.5 = 10x

2.25 = x
Answer:
1 Multiply the first equation by -1 then add the equations together
3. Multiply the second equation by -1 then add the equations together
4. Multiply the first equation by -2 then add the equations together
5. Multiply the first equation by 2 the second by -1 then add the equations together
Step-by-step explanation:
x+y = 7
2x+y = 5
1 Multiply the first equation by -1 then add the equations together
-x+-y = -7
2x+y = 5
---------------
x =-2 then solve for y
2. Multiply the second equation by -1 first equation by -1 then add the equations together
-x+-y = -7
-2x-y = -5
---------------
-3x -2y = -12
Still have both variables
3. Multiply the second equation by -1 then add the equations together
x+y = 7
-2x-y =- 5
----------------------
-x = 2
4. Multiply the first equation by -2 then add the equations together
-2x+-2y = -14
2x+y = 5
--------------
-y = -9
5. Multiply the first equation by 2 the second by -1 then add the equations together
2x+2y = 14
-2x-y = -5
--------------
y = 9
Answer:
Second choice
Step-by-step explanation:
The sides of the new triangle is in proportion to a scale of 3 to the original triangle. Since the sides are in proportions, the triangles are similar. Thus the angles are the same.
