x=-3, y=1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equations are:

2x-3y=-9     Eqn 1

x+y = - 2      Eqn 2

From eqn 2:

x=-y-2

Putting x=-y-2 in eqn 1

2(-y-2)-3y=-9\\-2y+4-3y=-9\\-5y-4=-9\\Adding\ 4\ on\ both\ sides\\-5y-4+4=-9+4\\-5y=-5\\Dividing\ both\ sides\ by\ -5\frac{-5y}{-5}=\frac{-5}{-5}\\y=1\\Putting\ y=1\ in\ eqn\ 2\\x+1=-2\\Subtracting\ 1\ from\ both\ sides\\x+1-1=-2-1\\x=-3

Hence,

x=-3, y=1

B is the midpoint of AC. AB= 3(3x-1) and AC=5(2x+2) find X, AB, BC, and AC
VMariaS [17]

Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

AB is given as 3(3x-1) multiply inside the parenthesis with 3

AB = 9x - 3

AC is given as 5(2x+2) multiply inside the parenthesis with 5

AC = 10x + 10

if B is midpoint of AC then AB = BC and AC = AB + BC if we write this equation using the given values

9x - 3 + 9x - 3 = 10x + 10 add like terms

18x - 6 = 10x + 10 transfer like terms to the same side of the equation

18x - 10x = 10 + 6

8x = 16 divide both sides by 8

x = 2 replace x with 2 in given expressions to find the value of each component

Which shows the correct method for solving the equation below?<br> 1/3 (y-9) =3
iragen [17]

Answer:

y=18

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

\frac{1}{3}(y-9)=3

Multiply by 3 both sides

3*(\frac{1}{3}(y-9))=3*3

(y-9)=9

Adds 9 both sides

(y-9)+9=9+9

y=18
