Answer:
59
Step-by-step explanation:
Y = 3x
so
if x = 5 then y = 15
if x = 10 then y = 30
so a = 10 and b = 15
answer is B. second choice
a = 10 and b = 15
Answer:
x=9
Step-by-step explanation:
We have two similar triangles because both lines are parallel, use proportions to solve:

What we know:
(Also,
)
What we need to solve:
(This is equal to
)
How you have to subtract
with
to get:

Thus, the answer would be:

4x - 3y + 20 = 0....4x - 3y = -21
4x - 3y = -21.....multiply by -2
5x - 6y = -25
----------------
-8x + 6y = 42 (result of multiplying by -2)
5x - 6y = -25
---------------add
-3x = 17
x = -17/3
this system of equations has 1 solution
