Answer:
x = 6
Option A.
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that
If A, B and C are collineal points, they all pass through a common line.
<--------------14-------------->
A-----------B----------------C
<-----x-----><------x+2---->
Based on the problem and the diagram above,
(x) + (x+2) = 14
(2x+2) = 14
(2x) = 12
(x) = 6
Answer:
X =0
Step-by-step explanation:
divide each term by 15 and simp
Answer:
x = 50
Step-by-step explanation:
1) -3(5x+2y=-3)⇒ -15x-6y=9
⇒ -9x=27
2(3x+3y=9)⇒ 6x+6y=18
2) -9x/-9=27/-9 ⇒ x=-3
3) 3(-3)+3y=9⇒ -9+9+3y=9+9⇒ 3y/3=18/3⇒ y=6
Answer: (-3,6)
Reasoning:
Step 1) In order to eliminate, first I had to multiple the first equation by -3 and the second by 2 so that when combining the equations y would cancel each other out so that I could solve for x. <em>Note: There are many combinations as to how you could multiple the equations so that either the x or y would cancel out.
</em>
Step 2) Once y is eliminated, solve for x.
Step 3) Now plug x back into one of the original equations and solve for y. <em>Note: Plug x back into one of the original equations, not the equations that were changed by multiplication,</em>
