Answer: B) 4 & 1/6
Nice work on getting the correct answer.
============================================================
Explanation:
x is opposite the marked acute angle
5 is opposite the corresponding acute angle
So x and 5 are proportional to each other. We can form the ratio x/5
Similarly, 10 and 12 are proportional to one another. We can form the ratio 10/12.
Set those ratios equal to each other and solve for x
x/5 = 10/12
12x = 5*10 ... cross multiply
12x = 50
x = 50/12 ...... divide both sides by 12
x = (25*2)/(6*2)
x = 25/6
x = (24+1)/6
x = 24/6 + 1/6
x = 4 + 1/6
x = 4 & 1/6 which shows why <u>choice B</u> is the answer.
Side note: 25/6 = 4.167 approximately
Answer:
The system of equations has a one unique solution
Step-by-step explanation:
To quickly determine the number of solutions of a linear system of equations, we need to express each of the equations in slope-intercept form, so we can compare their slopes, and decide:
1) if they intersect at a unique point (when the slopes are different) thus giving a one solution, or
2) if the slopes have the exact same value giving parallel lines (with no intersections, and the y-intercept is different so there is no solution), or
3) if there is an infinite number of solutions (both lines are exactly the same, that is same slope and same y-intercept)
So we write them in slope -intercept form:
First equation:

second equation:

So we see that their slopes are different (for the first one slope = -6, and for the second one slope= -3/2) and then the lines must intercept in a one unique point. Therefore the system of equations has a one unique solution.

D is the correct answer i think
Answer:
y=9x+7
Step-by-step explanation:
the number in front of x is always the slope and the number after it is the Y intercept where the line first crosses the Y axis
