Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

x = 4, y = 5

Discussion:

-2x + 5y = 17          (*)

x     +  y  = 9            (**)

Multiplying (**) by 2 gives

2x + 2y = 18            (***)

Adding (*) and (***) gives

(-2x + 5y) + (2x + 2y) = 17 + 18              =>

(-2x + 2x) + (5y + 2y)  =35                    => as -2x + 2x = 0 and 5y +2y = 7y

0 + 7y = 35                                           => divide both sides by 7

y = 35/7 = 5

Substituting y = 5 in (**) gives x + y = 9 or x + 5 = 9 => x = 9-5 = 4

Thank you,

MrB

Pre Calc work, I need help with writing piece wise functions from graphs. Can anyone help? Giving brainliest
Andrei [34K]

The definition of the piece-wise function is:

  • f(x) = 2.5x + 1, -2 \leq x \leq 2
  • f(x) = -3, 2 < x < 6.

<h3>What is a piece-wise function?</h3>

A piece-wise function is a function that has different definitions, depending on the input.

In this problem, for inputs between -2 and 2, the function is a line that goes through (-2,-4) and (2,6). The slope is:

m = (6 - (-4))/(2 - (-2)) = 2.5.

The y-intercept is of b = 1, hence the rule is:

f(x) = 2.5x + 1, -2 \leq x \leq 2

For x greater than 2 and less than 6, the function is constant at -3, hence the rule is:

f(x) = -3, 2 < x < 6.

Find x, given that ΔABE ~ ΔBCD.
SIZIF [17.4K]
X = 9 . Basically just divide 12 by 8 and then take that quotient (1.5) and multiply it by 6 in order to receive the product of 9.
Hope this helps! :)
