Hello,

I suppose equations are:

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

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

x=-3, y=6
Sol={(-3,6)}

A boat has a speed of 15 mph in still water. It travels downstream from Greentown to Glenavon in g hours. It then goes back upst

Lerok [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find two things-- the speed of the boat in still water and the speed of the current. Each of these things will be represented by a different variable:

B = speed of the boat in still water

C = speed of the current

Since we have two variables, we will need to find a system of two equations to solve.

How do we find the two equations we need?

Rate problems are based on the relationship Distance = (Rate)(Time).

Fill in the chart with your data (chart attached)

The resulting speed of the boat (traveling upstream) is B-C miles per hour. On the other hand, if the boat is traveling downstream, the current will be pushing the boat faster, and the boat's speed will increase by C miles per hour. The resulting speed of the boat (traveling downstream) is B+C miles per hour. Put this info in the second column in the chart. Now plug it into a formula! <u>Distance=(Rate)(Time) </u>Now solve using the systems of equations!

In rectangle abcd measure of angle d =(3x+15) measure b =(6x-42) find measure of angle a

slava [35]

5) So for parallelogram ABCD, ∠B ≅ ∠D, and ∠A ≅ ∠C. Further, ∠B and ∠A are supplementary (i.e., their sum is 180°), and ∠D and ∠C are also supplementary.
So, we have that m∠B = m∠D. Therefore,
$6x-42=3x+15\\3x=57\\x=19$

Now, let's substitute for x back into the expression for either ∠B or ∠D to find it's angle measure.
m∠B = $6(19)-42=72$
Now, remember that ∠B or ∠D are supplements of ∠A.
So, m∠B + m∠A = 180°.
That means m∠A = 180° – 72° = 108°.
That seems reasonable, because A appears to be an obtuse angle.

Which expression has the same GCF as 15x2 - 21x?

Mice21 [21]

Answer:

$15x^2 +21 x$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following expression:

$15x^2 -21 x$

We can find the GCF with the following steps.

1. Find the GCF for the numerical part 15 and -21

The factors for 15 are : 1,3,5,15

The factors for -21 are -21,-7,-3,-1,1,3,7,21

And the common factors are 1,3

The GCF for the numerical part is 3*1 = 3

2. Find the GCF for the variable

The factors of x^2 are : x*x

The factors of x are: x

The common factors are x for this case, so then the GCF for the variable part is x

3. Multiply the two results from steps 1 and 2

GCf= 3*x = 3x

If we consider the new expression:

$15x^2 +21x$

We can find the GCF with the following steps.

1. Find the GCF for the numerical part 15 and -21

The factors for 15 are : 1,3,5,15

The factors for -21 are 1,3,7,21

And the common factors are 1,3

The GCF for the numerical part is 3*1 = 3

2. Find the GCF for the variable

The factors of x^2 are : x*x

The factors of x are: x

The common factors are x for this case, so then the GCF for the variable part is x

3. Multiply the two results from steps 1 and 2

GCf= 3*x = 3x

And as we can see both GCF are equal. So then we satisfy the condition required.
