There are 3 methods to solve this. elimination substitution and graphing but i am going to use the elimination method.
  x+2y=17
 <u> x-y   =2
</u> 0+3y  =15   ( subtracted down to eliminate the x)( x-x=0, 2y-(-y)=3y, and 17-2=15)
     3y=15    (divide both sides by 3 to solve for y)
      y=5
<u>substitute the y=5 in any of the above equations and solve for x
ie... ( </u>meaning where you find y in the equation, u replace it with a 5)

it will be easier to solve for x in (x-y=2) so i will use that one.
x-(5)=2  ( add 5 on both sides to solve for x)
x=7

What single transformation maps ∆ABC onto ∆A'B'C'? A. rotation 90° clockwise about the origin B. rotation 90° counterclockwise a
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

B. rotation 90° counterclockwise about the origin.

Step-by-step explanation:

Transformation is the process by which the size or orientation of a given figure is altered without any effect on its shape. Examples are; rotation, reflection, translation and dilation.

Rotation is the process of turning a figure about a reference point called the origin. While reflection is turning a figure about a line to produce its image.

In the given question, ∆ABC is  mapped onto ∆A'B'C' by rotating it at 90° counterclockwise about the origin.

Solve 9y = 27 How can you find the value of y
Bumek [7]
You need to divide 9 to both sides in order for y to come alone. So then you would have to divide 27 by 9 and y = 3. Hope this helps!
