2x-9=-x+6
+x +x
3x-9=6
+9 +9
3x=15

x=5

therefore the equations have one solution (x=5)

Since we want to find solutions that will work for both of the equations, we must first assume that x and y are both the same in both so

y=2x-9
y=-x+6
we make the second equation negative by multiplying the whole thing by -1 and get
-y=x-6

add this to the first equation
y-y=x+2x-9-6
0=3x-15
add 15 to both sides
15=3x
divide both sides by 3
5=x

subsitute 5=x for x in the second equation

y=-x+6
y=-5+6
y=1

Question- Solve for a<br> 2a+b=x

kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

a = (x - b)/2

Step-by-step explanation:

2a + b = x

-b -b

2a = x - b

/2 /2

a = (x - b)/2

for ex:

x = 3

b = 2

a = ((3) - (2))/2 = 0.5

a = 0.5

2a + b = x

2(0.5) + 2 = 3

An angle bisector of a triangle divides the opposite side of the triangle into segments 5 cm and 3 cm long. A second side of the

attashe74 [19]

There is a little-known theorem to solve this problem.

The theorem says that
In a triangle, the angle bisector cuts the opposite side into two segments in the ratio of the respective sides lengths.

See the attached triangles for cases 1 and 2. Let x be the length of the third side.

Case 1:
Segment 5cm is adjacent to the 7.6cm side, then
x/7.6=3/5 => x=7.6*3/5=4.56 cm

Case 2:
Segment 3cm is adjacent to the 7.6 cm side, then
x/7.6=5/3 => x=7.6*5/3=12.67 cm

The theorem can be proved by considering the sine rule on the adjacent triangles ADC and BDC with the common side CD and equal angles ACD and DCB.

You divide 56.28 by 3 so 18.76 then multiply by 7 which is 131.32 hope this helps!
