It represents the absolute value of negative 5 which is positive 5
Answer:

.
Step-by-step explanation:
5x + 3y = 26 (times 6) 30x + 18y = 156
6x + 7y = 21 (times 5) 30x + 35y = 105
.
30x + 18y = 156
<u>30x + 35y = 105 </u> <u> </u>
-17y = 51

y = -3
.
Substitute the value of y to one of equations
6x + 7y = 21
6x + 7(-3) = 21
6x - 21 = 21
6x = 21 + 21
6x = 42

x = 7
It's an isosceles triangle so angles A and BCA are congruent.
Angle BCA is the supplement of BCD, so 180-109 = 71.
Angle A is congruent to that, so A=71 degrees.
Let's see if we can get that in the format they want, kind of as a proof.
1. ∠BCD=109° Reason: Given
2. AB ≅ BC Reason: Given
3. ∠BCA = 71° Reason: Linear pairs are supplementary
4. ΔABC is isosceles. Reason: Definition of isosceles
5. ∠A ≅ ∠BCA Reason: Isoceles triangle theorem
6. ∠A = 71° Reason: Def congruent
Answer: 71 degrees
Answer:
f(x) = y + (x*p)
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we are not given actual values we will need to make the function with only variables. Each variable will represent the following...
Fixed Cost: y
Cost per charm: p
Number of charms: x
Therefore, using the variables mentioned above we can combine them into the following linear function using the number of charms as our main input for our function...
f(x) = y + (x*p)
