Answer:

x = 1/2

y = 5/2

Step-by-step explanation:

So we're gonna use the elimination method, by eliminating one of x or y to find the value of the other one.

y = x + 2 --------------(1)

x + y = 3 --------------(2)

In (1), x is in LHS and y is in RHS. To make things simpler, we take both x and y to the same side.

y           = x + 2

y - x      = x + 2 - x ( take x to the other side)

y - x      = 2-------------------------(3)

Note that in (2), x is positive and in (3), x is negative. So by adding these two, we can single out y because +x and -x cancels out. So we can eliminate x.

(3) +  (1) : (x+y) + (y- x) = 3 + 2

              2y                 = 5

              y                   = 5/2

Substituting y = 5/2 for (1),

5/2 - x  = 2

5/2       = 2 + x

5/2 - 4/2 = x

x   = 1/2

∴ x = 1/2

  y = 5/2

Hope i helped you :)

Answer:  \bold{\bigg(\dfrac{1}{2},2\dfrac{1}{2}\bigg)}\qquad \implies \qquad \bold{\bigg(\dfrac{1}{2},\dfrac{5}{2}\bigg)}

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

y = x + 2       x + y = 3

Solve using Substitution Method by replacing y with x + 2:

                    x + (x + 2) = 3

                         2x + 2 = 3

                         2x       = 1

                           x        = \dfrac{1}{2}

Next, replace x with 1/2 in one of the original equations and solve for y:

y = x + 2

  = \dfrac{1}{2} + 2

  = 2\dfrac{1}{2}

In the circle below, O is the center and mĞ= 128° What is the measure of angle HIG?​<br>​
Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

HIG=28°

Step-by-step explanation:

HI is a diameter therefore it's measure is 180°

HI-IG=HG

180-128=HG

52°=HG

HIG=1/2HG

HIG=1/2(56°)

HIG=28°

If 3220 = 80+7, what is the value of c?
Setler79 [48]

Answer:

Correct option is

C

36.25

Modal class =30−40

So we have, l=30,f0=12,f1=32,f2=20 and h=10

⇒  Mode=l+2f1−f0f2f1−f0×h

                  =30+2×32−12−2032−12×10

                  =30+6.25

                  =36.25

∴  Mode =36.25
