Answer:
(x, y) = (3, 5)
Step-by-step explanation:
Solving by elimination here again, there are 2 good options available. Either multiply the whole bottom equation by -1 to cancel the x, or by 2 to cancel the y. I'll do the latter:
Add from top to bottom:
Now, with the value of x, solve for y in either of the equations. I'll choose the second one here:
(x, y) = (3, 5)
∠A = 24°
∠B = 87°
∠A = 24°
Explanation:
The sum of angles in a triangle is 180 degrees
let measure of angle A = ∠A
∠B = 15 more than three times the measure of angle A
∠B = 15 + 3∠A
∠C = 45° more than the measure of angle A
∠C = 45° + ∠A
∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180° (sum of angles in a triangle)
∠A + 15 + 3∠A + 45° + ∠A = 180
collect like terms:
∠A + 3∠A + ∠A + 15 + 45 = 180
5∠A + 60 = 180
5∠A = 180 -60
5∠A = 120
∠A = 120/5
∠A = 24°
∠B = 15 + 3∠A = 15 + 3(24)
∠B = 87°
∠C = 45° + ∠A = 45° + 24°
∠C = 69°
The apple juice has 27 grams per serving and the sprite has 26 grams per serving. So the apple juice has more. You just divide the total amount by the number of servings.
3(x+y)=y
y is not equal to zero
*Solution
1. The given equation is 3(x+y) = y and we are tasked to find the ratio between x and y. Distributing 3 to the terms in the parenthesis,
3(x+y) = y
3x + 3y = y
Transposing 3y to the right side OR subtracting 3y from both the left-hand side and the right-hand side of the equation would give
3x = -2y
Dividing both sides of the equation by 3,
x = (-2/3)y
Dividing both sides of the equation by y,
x/y = -2/3
Therefore, the ratio x/y has a value of -2/3 provided that y is not equal to zero.
