You would multiply each side of the equation by the reciprocal of 3/5 (5/3) because would cancel out 3/5 which would leave you with x and the answer.

Answer:

x = 55, y = 70, z = 125

Step-by-step explanation:

125 and x are adjacent angles and are supplementary, then

x = 180 - 125 = 55

The triangle is isosceles ( 2 congruent sides ) thus the base angles are congruent, both 55

The sum of the 3 angles in the triangle = 180° , thus

y = 180 - (55 + 55) = 180 - 110 = 70

55 and z are adjacent and supplementary, so

z = 180 - 55 = 125

Answer:

<h2>B. (-15, 12)</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}5y=3x+15&\text{subtract 3x from both sides}\\6x=10y-30&\text{subtract 10y from both sides}\end{array}\right\\\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}-3x+5y=15\\6x-10y=-30&\text{divide both sides by 2}\end{array}\right\\\underline{+\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}-3x+5y=15\\3x-5y=-15\end{array}\right}\\.\qquad0=0\qquad\bold{TRUE}\\\\\bold{Infinitely\ many\ solutions}\\\\5y=3x+15\qquad\text{divide both sides by 5}\\\\y=\dfrac{3}{5}x+3\qquad(*)\\\\\text{Put the coordinates of the points to the equation (*)}

A.\ (5,\ 6)\\\\6=\dfrac{3}{5}(5)+3\\\\6=3+3\\\\6=6\qquad\bold{CORRECT}\\\\B.\ (-15,\ 12)\\\\12=\dfrac{3}{5}(-15)+3\\\\12=(3)(-3)+3\\\\12=-9+3\\\\12=-6\qquad\bold{FALSE}\\\\C.\ (0,\ 3)\\\\3=\dfrac{3}{5}(0)+3\\\\3=0+3\\\\3=3\qquad\bold{CORRECT}\\\\D.\ (-10,\ -3)\\\\-3=\dfrac{3}{5}(-10)+3\\\\-3=(3)(-2)+3\\\\-3=-6+3\\\\-3=-3\qquad\bold{CORRECT}
