simplify

</span><span><span><span><span>‌<span>6/5</span></span>‌y</span>+<span><span>‌<span>18/5</span></span>‌ </span></span>=4

</span>Add (-18)/5 to both sides

<span><span><span>‌<span>6/5</span></span>‌y</span>=<span>‌<span>2/<span>5

divide both sides by 6/5

y = 1/3

substitute 1/3 for y in x = -2/5y +6/5 to solve for x

x = -2/5(1/3) +6/5

x = 16/15

so x = 16/15 and y = 1/3
 now replace both x and Y in each of the original equations to check the answers:

5(16/15) +2(1/3) =  5 1/3 + 2/3 = 6  true

3(16/15) - -12/5(1/3) = 4 true
 so they are parallel

I will give BRAINLIEST to the correct answer <br> Find the measure of angle 6.
True [87]

Answer:

m∠6 = 116°

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>first find x:</u>

7x - 17 = 2x + 78

subtract 2x from both sides: 5x - 17 = 78

add 17 to both sides: 5x = 95

divide by 5: x = 19

<u>plug x into 7x - 17</u>

7(19) - 17 = 116

∠6 and 7x - 17 are vertical angles and therefore congruent, so m∠6 also = 116°

Give an example of a polynomial that has the asymptotes of x=5 and y=0.5
BaLLatris [955]
(x²+4x+3)/2(x²-10x+25)

the horizontal asymptote when the numerator and the denominator have the same degree (in this case, both of a degree of 2) is ration of the coefficients of the numerator and denominator. In this case, the coefficient for numerator x² is 1, and the coefficient for the denominator 2x² is 2, so the horizontal asymptote is y=1/2=0.5

the vertical asymptote is the x value. the denominator cannot be zero, if x²-10x+25=0, x would be 5, so the vertical asymptote is x=5 

this is just one example. There can be others:
(2x²+5x+2)/[(4x-7)(x-5)]  for another example, but this example has a second vertical asymptote 4x-7=0 =>x=7/4

Find the range of the function for the given domain, f(x)=3x+3; (-2,-1,0,1,2)
stich3 [128]

Answer:

Range: (-3,0,3,6,9)

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to evaluate each value in the domain of the function, so

f(-2)=3(-2)+3=-6+3=-3

f(-1)=3(-1)+3=-3+3=0

f(0)=3(0)+3=0+3=3

f(1)=3(1)+3=3+3=6

f(2)=3(2)+3=6+3=9
