The answer is x = 10, y = 10.

Step 1: rearrange the second equation for y.
Step 2: substitute y from the second equation into the first equation.
Step 3. Calculate y.

Step 1.
<span>The second equation is: 6x + 3y = 90
Divide both sides of the equation by 3:
(6x + 3y)/3 = 90/3
6x/3 + 3y/3 = 30
2x + y = 30
Rearrange the equation:
y = 30 - 2x

Step 2.
</span>Substitute y from the second equation (y = 30 - 2x) into the first equation:
<span>15x + 9y = 240
15x + 9(30 - 2x) = 240
15x + 270 - 18x = 240
15x - 18x = 240 - 270
-3x = -30
x = -30/-3
x = 10

Step 3.
Since </span>y = 30 - 2x and x = 10, then:
y = 30 - 2 * 10
y = 30 - 20
y = 10

Find the value of each measure.
zloy xaker [14]

The two congruent base angles tell us that this is an isosceles triangle, meaning the triangle has two congruent sides. Therefore, we can set these two expressions equal to each other and solve from there.

15x + 7 = 23x - 17

7 = 8x - 17

8x = 24

x = 3

Side = 15(3) + 7 = 45 + 7 = 52

Hope this helps!

Given the following perfect square trinomial, fill in the missing term. <br><br> x2 − 16x + ____
pychu [463]
The pattern is:
( a - b )² = a² - 2 a b + b² ( square of last term of binomial - the missing term)
x² - 2 · 8 · x + 8² = x² - 16 x + 64 = ( x - 8 )²
The missing term is: 64

The sum of three numbers is 18. If every number is a prime number, what are the three numbers?
sleet_krkn [62]
The three numbers are 2, 5, and 11.

The sum of 3 numbers is 18.        2 + 5 + 11 = 18

Since the problem states that every number is a prime number, then the number must be a natural number greater than 1 that has no positive divisors other than 1 and itself.

2 / 1 = 2  OR  2 / 2 = 1  These numbers are prime numbers because their divisors
5 / 1 = 5  OR  5 / 5 = 1            are 1 and itself.
11/1 = 11 OR 11/11 = 1
