Answer:

x=5

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use proportions to solve this problem.  Put the side of the small triangle over the side of the large triangle.

9           15

------ = ----------

2x-1        3x

Using cross products

9*3x = 15(2x-1)

27x = 30x-15

Subtract 30x from each side

27x-30x = 30x-30x -15

-3x = -15

Divide by -3

-3x/-3 = -15x/-3

x = 5

X-2y=1;3x-6y=3 substitution
emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

All solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

     When solving by substitution, we will first set one equation equal to a variable, and then plug that value into the second equation as the variable. Here is what I mean;

x - 2y = 1

3x - 6y = 3

-

x = 1 + 2y

3x - 6y = 3

-

3(1 + 2y) - 6y = 3

3 + 6y - 6y = 3

3 = 3

[] Oh no! This doesn't work well. Let's graph it and see what is happening;

-> See attached

-> I have made the lines very thick so you can see the overlap, they are the same size in reality

The answer is all solutions because the graphs are exactly the same.

Have a nice day!

     I hope this is what you are looking for, but if not - comment! I will edit and update my answer accordingly.

Brian, Chris, and Damien took a math test that had 20 questions. The number of questions Brian got right is 14 more than 1/4 the
Levart [38]
B = 1/4c + 14
d = 5/4c - 2
b = d

1/4c + 14 = 5/4c - 2 ....multiply by 4
c + 56 = 5c - 8
56 + 8 = 5c - c
64 = 4c
64/4 = c
16 = c <== Chris

b = 1/4c + 14.....b = 1/4(16) + 14.....b = 4 + 14....b = 18 <== Brian
d = 5/4c - 2....d = 5/4(16) - 2.....d = 20 - 2.....d = 18 <== Damien

solution : Brain and Damien answered 2 more questions correctly then Chris did. <===

Can someone answer this question please answer it correctly if it’s corect I will mark you brainliest
harina [27]

Answer:

0%

Step-by-step explanation:

Cards: 1,2,3   total cards 3

P (3) = number of 3's / total cards

        = 1/3

We keep the 3

Cards: 1,2   total cards 2

We want a card greater than 2

cards greater than 2 : 0

P (card >2) = cards greater than 2 / total cards

                  =0/2

P (3, no replacement, >2) = 1/3 * 0 =0
