Answer:
x=8, y=25. As a point it's (8,25)
Step-by-step explanation:
here is the system:
y=x+17
y=3x+1
notice how both of the equations equal y. Therefore, we can substitute one expression as y in the other expression. (It'll equal y=y, which is a true statement)
so it'll be:
3x+1=x+17
subtract 1 from both sides
3x=x+16
subtract x from both sides
2x=16
divide by 2
x=8
now, substitute 8 as x into one of the equations and solve for y
let's take the first one for example
y=8+17
y=25
so the answer is x=8, y=25. As a point it's (8,25)
Hope this helps!
This problem cannot be solved unless we are given figure NPQR is a rhombus.
In that case, then all sides are equal, meaning
5x+16=9x-32
Solve for x
9x-5x=16+32
4x=48
x=12
Each side (including PQ) then equals 5x+16=5*12+16=76
