Answer:

Option D.

3 equations with 3 variables

Step-by-step explanation:

The coordinates of a point in space must necessarily have 3 components. One to describe the distance on the x axis, another to describe the distance on the y axis to the point, and a third to describe the distance on the z axis.

If we have three variables, then 3 equations are needed to solve the system. With less than 3 equations it would be impossible to solver the system.

Therefore the correct answer is option D.

3 equations with 3 variables

Help please! Could you explain it too?
Anettt [7]

Answer:

a) not proportional

b) proportional; k = -\frac{3}{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

a) for any proportional equation, the line must pass through the origin. The equation in a) is y = 4x + 1, and the '+1' is the y-intercept. This means that the line does not pass through the origin, so x and y cannot increase by the same amount (i.e. they are not proportional).

Another way to determine this is is to use the y = kx base. If you have an equation that fits that it's likely proportional.

Here, if the equation was only y = 4x then it'd be proportional because u can see that k = 4. This is not the equation though, and the 4x + 1 doesn't fit to the y = kx formula so it can't be proportional.

b) straight away you can see that there's no 'c' term (y = mx + c) which means the y-intercept is 0, so the line passes through the origin. While this does not immediately mean the line is proportional, you can make sure that it is by checking it fits with the y = kx equation.

y = -(3/5)x fits with y = kx, with k being -3/5

FIND M∠R (GIVING BRAINLIEST, 25 PTS)
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

<h2>76</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>to understand this</h3><h3>you need to know about:</h3>
  • triangles
  • equation
  • PEMDAS
<h3>given:</h3>
  • M\angle T=2x+2
  • M\angle R=3x+1
<h3>tips and formulas:</h3>
  • this is an isosceles triangle since two sides are equal therefore \angle T=\angle S
  • a triangle contains 180°
<h3>let's solve:</h3>

according to the question

2x+2+2x+2+3x+1=180

solve:

  1. collect like terms:7x+5=180
  2. substract 5 from both sides:=>7x+5-5=180-5=>7x=175
  3. divide both sides by 7: =>7x/7=175/7
  • x=25

given:

M∠R=3x+1

substitute the value of x

3×25+1

75+1
