Answer:

x = 0.5

y = -1/4 or -0.25

Step-by-step explanation:

x + 6y = 2

3x + 2y = 10

Multiply a number by any of the equations to get numbers of the same variable

3x + 18y = 6

3x + 2y = 10

3x - 3x = 0

NB: subtract evenly if u subtract down from top make sure u subtract down from top throughout

16y = -4

16y/16 = -4/16

y = -1/4 or -0.25

to find the x value, any where you see y u put in the y value(-0.25)

So u'll pick just one of the equations above

x + 6(0.25) = 2

x + 1.5 = 2

x = 1.5 + 2

x = 0.5

If the mean if these numbers is 9 what is x ? 16,3,x,5

siniylev [52]

The mean is the average number meaning that it is all the numbers in a set added together and divided by how many number are in the set. In this case there are 4 numbers (16, 3, whatever number x is, and 5). So, to find out what x is, first you multiple 4 by the known mean which is 9.
4 x 9 = 36
Then you simply subtract 36 from all the known numbers to find x.
36 - 16 - 5 - 3 = 12
So x = 12

The measure of an exterior angle of a regular polygon is 24 find the measure if the interior angle then find the number of sides

Natali [406]

The interior and exterior angles add up to 180° (a straight line - eg, a + f = 180°), andThe sum of the exterior angles is 360° (a + b + c + d + e = 360°).Question

-5 (e - 1) + 6e = -17

Alex787 [66]

First expand the equation.

-5e+5+6e = -17

Next, combine the like terms.

e+5 = -17

e = -22
