It should be k= 4 or -1/3
Let x = state b , then x + 2 = state a
now: x + (x +2) = 9090 or 2x + 2 = 9090 Solving this equation:
2x + 2 = 9090 subtract 2 from both sides
2x = 9088 divide both sides by 2
x = 4544
that means x + 2 = 4546
so state a = 4546 and state b = 4544
True
It won’t be a Prefect Triangle but it still is one
(sorry my drawing is bad)
Substitution
Step 1: Solve for x or y in either of the two equations. In the equations that you are given, y is already solved for you.
Step 2: Plug in 2x + 6 into the opposite equation.
2x + 6 = -3x + 16
- 6 - 6
------------------------------
2x = -3x + 10
+ 3x + 3x
------------------------------
5x = 10
------ ------
5 5
x = 2
Step 3: Plug in the x value into either equation.
y = 2(2) + 6
y = 4 + 6
y = 10
The final answer gets expressed as a coordinate pair: (x,y) (2,10)
I hope this helps you :)
The second one is correct
