2x-3y=3 5x+2y=17 how do i solve this?

1 answer:

6 0

<span> 2(2x-3y=3)..................4x-6y=6..........equation 1
3(5x+2y=17) ...........15x+6y=51</span>........equation 2

adding equation 1 and equation 2;
19x=57
x=3

2x-3y=3
(2*3)-3y=3
6-3=3y
y=1

Answer:

1/7

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope formula is useful for this.

m = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)

m = (4 -3)/(4 -(-3)) = 1/7

The gradient of the line segment is 1/7.

An angle measures 40.2° more than the measure of its complementary angle. What is the measure of each angle?

vampirchik [111]

<h3>Solving for the measurements of Complementary Angles</h3><h3>Answer:</h3>

$24.9^{\circ}$ and $65.1^{\circ}$

<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

Recall that Angles that are complementary to each other add up to $90^{\circ}$ .

Let $a$ be the measure of the complementary angle.

If an angle is $40.2^{\circ}$ more than its complementary angle, the measure of that angle is $a +40.2$ . The sum of both angles are expressed $a +(a +40.2)$ but since the have to add to $90$ as they are complementary, $a +(a +40.2) = 90$ .
