Answer: x=3, y=6, z=-1

Step-by-step explanation:

2x+2z=4

2x=4-2z

X=2-z

-(2-z)-y-z=-8

-2+z-y-z=-8

-2-y=-8

-2+y=-8+y

-2+8=y

6=y

-4 (2-z)+4 (6)+5z=7

-8+4z+24+5z=7

9z=8-24+7

9z=-9

Z=-1

2x+2z=4

2x+2 (-1)=4

2x-2=4+2

2x=6

X=3

x=3 y=6 z=-1

- x - y - z = - 8 ------- (1)
- 4x + 4y + 5z = 7 -------- (2)
2x + 2z = 4 --------- (3)

From (3): x + z = 2
x = 2 - z --------- (4)

Substitute (4) into (1),
- x - y - z = - 8
- (2-z) - y - z = - 8
- 2 + z - y - z = -8
- 2 - y = - 8
2 + y = 8
Therefore, y = 6

Substitute y = 6 and (4) into (2),
- 4x + 4y + 5z = 7
- 4(2 - z) + 4(6) + 5z = 7
- 8 + 4z + 24 + 5z = 7
9z + 16 = 7
9z = - 9
Therefore, z = - 9

Substitute z = - 9 into (4),
x = 2 - z
x = 2 - (-9)
x = 2 + 9
Therefore x = 11

Solution:
x = 11
y = 6
z = -9

Exactly 1 1/3 yard of ribbon is needed to make a bow. Which of the following lengths of ribbon could be used to make a bow with

svp [43]

Answer:

1 and 2/5 yards wastes only 1/15 a yard

Step-by-step explanation:

1 and 1/6 yards would make a waste of 1 and 1/6 yards since you can't make a ribbon out of it. (incorrect)

1 and 2/10 yards would make a waste of 1 and 1/5 yards since you can't make a ribbon out of it. (incorrect)

1 and 2/5 yards

$1\frac{2}{5} -1\frac{1}{3} =\\\\1\frac{6}{15} -1\frac{5}{15} =\\\\\frac{1}{15}$

Wastes 1/15 a yard.

1 and 1/2 yards

$1\frac{1}{2} -1\frac{1}{3} =\\\\1\frac{3}{6} -1\frac{2}{6} =\\\\\frac{1}{6}$

It wastes 1/6 a yard.

2 yards

$2-1\frac{1}{3} =\frac{2}{3}$

It wastes 4/6 a yard.

Suppose ΔXYZ is given, and you want to construct ΔABC so that the triangles are congruent. Which constructions would guarantee t

bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

A: constructing ΔABC so that AB ≅ XY, BC ≅ YZ, and CA ≅ ZX

C: constructing ΔABC so that AB ≅ XY, CA ≅ ZX, and ∠A ≅ ∠X

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets revise the ways of constructing a triangle

- There are 3 ways to construct a triangle

# You must have length of one side and measures of two angles which

are the endpoint of the side

# You must have a length of two sides and the measure of the including

angle between the two sides

# You must have the length of the 3 sides

* Lets solve the problem

∵ Δ XYZ ≅ Δ ABC

∴ XY = AB , YZ = BC , ZX = CA

∴ m∠ X = m∠ A , m∠ Y = m∠ B , m∠ Z = m∠ C

- To construct Δ ABC You can use:

# The length of the 3 sides

∵ AB ≅ XY , BC ≅ YZ , CA ≅ ZX

∴ constructing ΔABC so that AB ≅ XY, BC ≅ YZ, and CA ≅ ZX ⇒ A

# The length of two sides and the measure of the including angle

∵ AB ≅ XY , CA = ZX

∵ The including angles between the sides are ∠A and ∠X

∴ constructing ΔABC so that AB ≅ XY, CA ≅ ZX, and ∠A ≅ ∠X ⇒ C

# The length of one side and the measures of two angles which are

the endpoints of the side

∵ CA ≅ ZX

∵ The end points are C , A and Z , X

∴ constructing ΔABC so that CA ≅ ZX, ∠A ≅ ∠X, and ∠C ≅ ∠Z

- But this answer not in the choices

∴ The answer is A and C

Write a solution in Interval Notation - (you don't have to help me on all, 1 or 2 is fine c: )

Gemiola [76]

QUESTION 1

The given inequality is

$|m|-2>0$

We group like terms to get,

$|m|>2$

This implies that,

$-m>2$ or $m>2$ .

We simplify the inequality to get,

$m$ or $m>2$ .

We can write this interval notation to get,

$(-\infty,-2)\cup (2,+\infty)$ .

QUESTION 2

$|x-4|-3\:>\:5$ .

We group like terms to get,

$|x-4|\:>\:5+3$ .

$|x-4|\:>\:8$

We split the absolute value sign to get,

$-(x-4)\:>\:8$ or $x-4\:>\:8$

This implies that,

$x-4\:$ or $x-4\:>\:8$

$x\:$ or $x\:>\:8+4$

$x\:$ or $x\:>\:12$

We can write this interval notation to get,

$(-\infty,-4)\cup (12,+\infty)$ .

QUESTION 3

The given inequality is

$|6+9x|\leq 24$

We split the absolute value sign to obtain,

$-(6+9x)\leq 24$ or $(6+9x)\leq 24$

This simplifies to

$6+9x\ge -24$ and $6+9x\leq 24$

$9x\ge -24-6$ and $9x\leq 24-6$

$9x\ge -30$ and $9x\leq 18$

$x\ge -\frac{10}{3}$ and $x\leq 2$

$-\frac{10}{3}\leq x\leq2$

We write this in interval form to get,

$[-\frac{10}{3},2]$

QUESTION 4

The given inequality is

$|1-5a|>29$

We split the absolute value sign to get,

$-(1-5a)>29$ or $1-5a>29$

This simplifies to,

$1-5a\:$ or $1-5a\:>\:29$

This implies that,

$-5a\:$ or $-5a\:>\:29-1$

$-5a\:$ or $-5a\:>\:28$

$a\:>\:6$ or $a\:$

We write this in interval notation to get,

$(-\infty,-\frac{28}{5})\cup (6,+\infty)$
