Answer:

y=-1

Step-by-step explanation:

5x + 3y = 12 ....(*)

4x - 5y = 17....(**)

multiply (*) by : -4 and(**) by 5

you have :   -20x -12 = -48.....(1)

                   20x -25y = 85....(2)

add(1) and(2) : -37y = 37   so : y =37/-37= -1

PLEASE HELP!! I know I need to factor but I’m confused…
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

x = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a tangent and a secant from an external point to a circle, then

The product of the external part and the whole of the secant is equal to the square of the tangent, that is

9(9 + x) = 15²

9(9 + x) = 225 ( divide both sides by 9 )

9 + x = 25 ( subtract 9 from both sides )

x = 16

Sum = - 13/8 + 5/12 = - 39/24 + 10/24 = - 29/24

Difference = - 13/8 - 5/12 = - 39/24 - 10/24 = - 49/24

Sum * Difference = (-29/24)*(-49/24) = 1421/576
