21 containers for the ice cream
Just Use Direct TV It’s What I Use Lol I know this isn’t an answer but I just wanted to comment something
As you see this is a right angle, so the sum of the two angles = 90°
So,
(x + 42) + 3x = 90°
Remove the parentheses:
x + 42 + 3x = 90
Combine like terms:
4x + 42 = 90
Subtract 42 on both sides:
4x = 48
Divide 4 on both sides:
x = 12

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
You really don't have enough information to solve this with one answer. You want a value for y and there is no what to limit it to just 1 set of values. For example if x = 23 then
x = y + y - 3
x = 2y - 3
23 = 2y - 3 Add three to both sides
23+3 = 2y Combine
26 = 2y Divide by 2
26/2 = 2y/2 Do the division
13 = y
The smaller number is 13 - 3 = 10
Their sum is 13 + 10=23 But that answer is not unique.
====================
Suppose x = 13
13 = 2y - 3 Add 3
13 + 3 = 2y
16 = 2y
y =8
The larger number = 8
The smaller number = 5
=======================
The best I can do is give you the equation which is
x = 2y - 3
Can you post a pic of the graph?
