Answer:

<h3>            BC = 29</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Point B is between A and C and the points A, B, and C are collinear so:

AB + BC = AC

487 + 5x + 8x + 709 = 91

  13x + 1196 = 91

       - 1196      - 1196

   13x  =  - 1105

     ÷13     ÷13

    x = - 85

BC =  8x + 709 = 8(-85) + 709 = - 680 + 709 = 29

What is the solution to the system of equations below? y = -3X+5 and y=4x-2 (1, 2) (1, –18) (–1, 8) (–1, –6)
Maurinko [17]

Answer:

(1, 2 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

y = - 3x + 5 → (1)

y = 4x - 2 → (2)

Substitute y = 4x - 2 into (1)

4x - 2 = - 3x + 5 ( add 3x to both sides )

7x - 2 = 5 ( add 2 to both sides )

7x = 7 ( divide both sides by 7 )

x = 1

Substitute x = 1 into (2) for corresponding value of y

y = (4 × 1) - 2 = 4 - 2 = 2

Solution is (1, 2 )
