Which ordered pair is the solution to y − x = 3 and 2x + y = 9?

1 answer:

5 0

Y-x=3
2x+y=9

so solving by multiplying first by 2
so we get , 2y-2x=6

adding both eqn now,

3y=15
y=5

so x=2

so y=5 and x=2 !!

The length of LO if M is between L and O, LM = 7x – 9, MO = 14 inches, and LO = 10x – 7.

antiseptic1488 [7]

LM+MO=LO

7x-9+14=10x-7

7x+5=10x-7

7x-10x+5-5=10x-10x-7-5

-3x=-12

-3x/-3=-12/-3

x=4

10*4-7

=40-7

=33 in.

goldenfox [79]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Tangents to the circle from the same point are the same length. Then rn = 7, and nt = 10. This means mt = 10, so ...
