X-y=3
x+y=13

Add the two equations to get the following in order to solve for x:
2x=16
x=8

Next you substitute into x+y=13 to solve for y

8+y=13
y=5

Therefore, x=8 and y=5

X - y = 3
x + y = 13
Adding both equations
2x = 16
x = 8
y = 5

Sove for y 3 y + 13 equals 5 y - 5

Papessa [141]

If you could send an image that is clearer I will be able to help you more, but for what we have: 3y+13=5y-5, the answer would be 2y=18 (after doing all your algebra). Then you would divide both sides by 2 and get y=9. After this you can plug in 9 for every y and find the angles/measures of all sides!
Hope this helped, and if you need any further assistance, please let me know!

Is (2, 3) a solution to the inequality y > 6x + 3?

Sindrei [870]

Good morning

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we just substitute x and y by their values and see if the inequality still true or not

y = 3

6x + 3 = 6(2) + 3 = 15

since 3 < 15 then the inequality y > 6x + 3 is wrong.

What is the other endpoint if one endpoint is (10,12) and the midpoint is (6,9).?

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

$(2,\, 6)$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $(x_{0},\, y_{0})$ and $(x_{1},\, y_{1})$ denote the two endpoints.

The formula for the midpoint of these two points would be:

$\displaystyle \left(\frac{x_{0} + x_{1}}{2},\, \frac{y_{0} + y_{1}}{2}\right)$ .

(Similar to taking the average of each coordinate.)

In this question, it is given that $x_{0} = 10$ whereas $y_{0} = 12$ . Substitute these two values into the expression for the coordinate of the midpoint:
