So all of the internal angles of a triangle will add up to 180 degrees.  So if we add all of the expressions given and set them equal to 180, we can solve for x, then solve for each angle...

(2x + 1) + (3x - 3) + 9x = 180
2x + 3x + 9x + 1 - 3 = 180
14x - 2 = 180
14x = 182
x = 13

Now we can substitute 13 into each expression to find the value of each angle...

2x + 1 =
2(13) + 1 =
26 + 1 = 27 degrees

3x - 3 =
3(13) - 3 =
39 - 3 = 36 degrees

9x =
9(13) = 117 degrees

So the 3 angles are 27 degrees, 36 degrees, and 117 degrees.

The smallest is 27 degrees

** Note-- I don't see 27 degrees in the answer choices you gave, so I double checked my math (I didn't find any mistakes).  Please check to see that the question is written correctly (pay close attention to plus and minus signs).

Select the correct answer. Given the equations `9x + (3)/(4)y = 6` and `2x + (1)/(2)y = 9`, by what factor would you multiply th
Minchanka [31]

-3/2 is the  factor would multiply the second equation to eliminate y.

The correct option is (C).

<h3>What is factor?</h3>

A number or algebraic expression that divides another number or expression evenly—i.e., with no remainder.

Given equation is :

9x+3/4 y =6

2x+1/2 y =9

If we have to eliminate the y variable so we have to multiply it by factor -3/2

Then the second equation become

-3/2(2x+1/2 y =9)

-3x- 3/4 y =- 27/2

As we can see the y variable of both the equation is same.

Hence, -3/2 is the  factor would multiply the second equation to eliminate y.

The data set shows the ages of the members of a book club, What is the shape of the distribution of this data set?
Charra [1.4K]

Symmetrical because the numbers in a bar graph show sort of a pyramid-like shape, rather than a skewed or flatter shape.
