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

QUICK PLZZ!!! If m&lt;ABD = 71°, what are m&lt;ABC and m&lt;DBC?​
suter [353]

Answer:

m<ABC = 45

m<DBC = 34°

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

m<ABD = 79°

m<ABC = (8x - 3)°

m<DBC = (5x + 4)°

Step 1: Generate an equation to find the value of x

m<ABC + m<DBC = m<ABD (angle addition postulate)

(8x - 3) + (5x + 4) = 79

Solve for x

8x - 3 + 5x + 4 = 79

13x + 1 = 79

Subtract 1 from both sides

13x + 1 - 1 = 79 - 1

13x = 78

Divide both sides by 13

x = 6

Step 2: find m<ABC and m<DBC by plugging the value of x into the expression of each angle

m<ABC = (8x - 3)°

m<ABC = 8(6) - 3 = 48 - 3 = 45°

m<DBC = (5x + 4)°

m<DBC = 5(6) + 4 = 30 + 4 = 34°

Step-by-step explanation:

Jeffrey is using a copy machine to make posters for a school play. The machine prints the posters at a constant rate. After 3 mi
jasenka [17]

Answer:

B: 11 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

So, we know that the machine prints at a constant rate.

After 3 minutes, the machine prints 108 posters.

So, let’s find the <em>unit rate. </em>We will divide the output over the input. So:

108\text{ posters}/3\text{ minutes}=36\text{ posters/min}

So, the unit rate of the machine is 36 posters per minute.

We can write an equation. If t represent the number of minutes and p represent the amount of posters, then:

p=36t

Gives the amount of posters p and t minutes.

We want to know how long it will take Jeffrey to make 396 posters.

So, we can substitute 396 for p and solve for t. Hence:

396=36t

Divide both sides by 36:

t=11

Therefore, it will take Jeffrey 11 minutes to make 396 posters.

The graph of g(x) is the result of translating the graph of f(x) (1\2)x = three units to the left. What is the equation of g(x)?
tangare [24]
The equation f(x)= \frac{1}{2}x is plotted on graph below (red line)

Translating f(x) three units to the left can be done by choosing  any coordinates on f(x).

Let choose (0,0) and (2,1)
Translating 3 units on to the left gives the new coordinates (0-3, 0)=(-3,0) and (2-3, 1)=(-1, 1)

The gradient of the two functions will stay the same since the lines are parallel to each other, so m = 0.5

By joining the two coordinates (-3,0) and (-1,1), we see that the translated line crosses y-axis at 1.5

The equation of translated line is given
g(x)=0.5(x-(-3))
g(x)=0.5(x+3)
g(x)=0.5x+1.5

What is 2x + 3x + 4x + 5x + 6x + 7x + 8x X 457 I really need help with this
Serggg [28]
You just add up all of the x times by 457, since you combine like terms.

Suppose y varies directly as X, and Y equals 16 when x equals 8 find y when x equal 16
Korolek [52]
When
y = x \\ y = 16 \\ x = 8
you would have to use comon multiples to find what both numbers have in common, a short way of finding this would be
16 \div 8 = a
where (a) is the answer of the equation, (a) would be 2 because 8*2=16 meaning
y = 2x
