Answer:
x=5
Step-by-step explanation:
So how i came about to get this answer, was
y=15-3x
y=15-3(5)
y=15-15
y=0
I found five by testing out different numbers for x such as 1 2 3 4, but when i got to five, that was where i got the answer, as shown above.

Answer:
D. x = 15; y = 5√3
Step-by-step explanation:
You don't need to know any trig to select the correct answer. You only need to know that the lengths of both sides must be less than the length of the hypotenuse. It is also helpful to know that √3 is about 1.732, so 10√3 ≈ 17.32.
Since x < 10√3, only answer choices A and D are viable.
Since y < 10√3, only answer choice D is viable.
_____
If you want to solve this using trig relations, you can recall that the sides of a 30°-60°-90° triangle have the ratios 1 : √3 : 2. This means short side y is half the length of the hypotenuse 10√3, so y = 5√3. It also means longer side x is √3 times y, so is x = (5√3)√3 = 5·3 = 15.
x = 15; y = 5√3
<span>We want to check how many intersections line A and B have, that is, we want to check how many common solutions do these equations have:
</span>
i) 2x + 2y = 8
ii) x + y = 4
<span>
use equation ii) to write y in terms of x as : y=4-x,
substitute y =4-x in equation i):
</span>2x + 2y = 8
2x + 2(4-x) = 8
<span>2x+8-2x=8
8=8
this is always true, which means the equations have infinitely many common solutions.
Answer: </span><span>There are infinitely many solutions.</span><span>

Did the question give you any lengths of the sides?
