Answer:
7/2 =x
Step-by-step explanation:
The triangles are similar so we can write a ratio to solve
2 4
---- = -------
x 7
Using cross products
2*7 = 4x
14 = 4x
14/4 = 4x/4
7/2 =x
4x=20-8y
x=5-2y now use this value of x in the second equation...
3(5-2y)+6y=15
15-6y+6y=15
15=15 This is true for any y or x value.
So there are infinitely many solutions as the two equations describe the same line.
Answer:
not sure if im right but this is my problem
3b=7
Step-by-step explanation:
1 ) 9 x + 18 > 9 x - 27
9 x - 9 x > - 27 - 18
0 * x > - 45
Always true
2 ) 6 x - 13 < 9 x - 12
6 x - 6 x < - 12 + 13
0 * x < 1
Always true
3 ) - 6 ( 2 x - 10 ) + 12 x ≤ 180
- 12 x + 60 + 12 x ≤ 180
0 * x ≤ 180 - 60
0 * x ≤ 120
Always true.
A. -(a+5)
Because the negative sign is outside the parenthesis, multiplying by -1 just removes the negative sign:
-(a+5) * -1 = a+5
B. -(-x+31)
Apply the distributive property:
-(-x+31) becomes (- -x +31) which simplifies to (x+31)
multiply that by -1 to get -x+31
C. -(4x+12)
Because the negative sign is outside the parenthesis, multiplying by -1 just removes the negative sign:
-(4x+12) * -1 = 4x+12
