Answer:

x = 4, TU = 22

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that TS bisects TU at Q , then

TQ = QU , substitute values

5x - 9 = 15 - x ( add x to both sides )

6x - 9 = 15 ( add 9 to both sides )

6x = 24 ( divide both sides by 6 )

x = 4

Thus

TU = 5x - 9 + 15 - x = 4x + 6 = 4(4) + 6 = 16 + 6 = 22

Answer: e. $6a-2a^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

1. You have the following expression given in the problem:

$a(6-2a)$

2. To solve the exercise and find an equal expression, you must simplify that expression. Apply the Distributive property. Multiply the terms inside the parentheses by $a$ . Then, you obtain:

$a(6-2a)=(a)(6)-(a)(2a)=6a-2a^{2}$

3x - 3y = 9 and x + 3y = 12 <br> Elimination

Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

$x=5.25,y=2.25$

Step-by-step explanation:

We can add the two equations to eliminate the variable $y$ and solve for $x$ :

$3x-3y+x+3y=9+12$

$4x=21$

$x=5.25$

Now, we can use substitution to solve for $y$ :

$x+3y=12$ (given)

$5.25+3y=12$

$3y=12-5.25$

$=6.75$

$y=2.25$

Hope this helps :)
