Answer:

x = 8

y = -7

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a system of equations called simultaneous equations. We shall solve it by elimination method Step 1We shall label the equations (1) and (2)−3y−4x=−11.....(1)3y−5x=−61......(2)Step 2Multiply each term in equation (1) by 1 to give equation (3)1(-3y-4x=-11).....(1)-3y-4x=-11....(3)Step 3Multiply each term in equation 2 by -1 to give equation (4)-1(3y−5x=−61)......(2)-3y+5x=61.....(4)Step 4-3y-4x=-11....(3)-3y+5x=61.....(4)Subtract each term in equation (3) from each term in equation (4)-3y-(-3y)+5x-(-4x)=61-(-11)-3y+3y+5x+4x=61+110+9x=729x=72Step 5Divide both sides of the equation by 9, the coefficient of the unknown variable x to find the value of x 9x/9 = 72/9x = 8Step 6Put in x = 8 into equation (2)3y−5x=−61......(2)3y-5(8)=-613y-40=-61Collect like terms by adding 40 to both sides of the equation 3y-40+40=-61+403y=-21Divide both sides by 3, the coefficient of y to find the value of y 3y/3=-21/3y=-7Therefore, the values of x and y that satisfy the equations are 8 and -7 respectively

Delvig [45]

Answer:

D. ∠E ≅ ∠N

Step-by-step explanation:

The pair of sides meet at vertex E in ∆DEF and at vertex N in ∆MNO. Since the sides that make up angles E and N are shown congruent, it is sufficient to show ...

∠E ≅ ∠N

Then the SAS congruence postulate can be claimed.

<em>Additional comment</em>

The alternative is to show DF ≅ MO. That would allow you to claim SSS congruence. That is not an answer choice.

Find the value of x :)

Damm [24]

Answer:

x=65

Step-by-step explanation:

130+75+90+x=360

add 130 75 and 90 together to simplify

295+x=360

subtract 295 by both sides to isolate x

x=65

hope that helped!

Note that 6 inches is half a foot, so if its 4ft. then 1/2 of a foot goes in 8 times which means that the scale factor is 8. :)

The function f(t)=t^2+12t-18 represents a parabola. Part A: Rewrite the function in vertex form by completing the square. Show y

ale4655 [162]

The function in vertex form is $f(t) = (t+6)^{2} -54$ (refer to your other post I solved it there).
The general form of quadratic equations in vertex form is $f(x) = a(x-h)^{2} +k$ , where (h, k) is the vertex of the parabola.
Here, a = 1, h = -6 and k = -54
Therefore, the vertex is (-6, -54) and it is a maximum because a = 1 is postive.
