By using elimination method the solution for the given equations 5x+6y=17 and -10x-9y= -43 are x=7 and y= -3.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equations are,

             5x+6y=17..................................(1)

          -10x-9y=-43..............................(2)

Step:1

      By elimination method,

     Multiplying the equation (1) by 9            ( Eqn (1) × 9)

           45x+54y=153.................................(3)

     Multiplying the equation (2) by -6         ( Eqn (2) × -6)

           60x+54y=258................................(4)

Step:2

       Subtracting the Equations (3) and (4),

              45x+54y=153

              60x+54y=258

     ( - )

       ( 45x-60x ) + ( 54y-54y ) = ( 153-258 )

                               ( -15x ) = ( -105 )

                                         x = 7

Step:3

      Substitute the x=7 in equation (1),

                            5x+6y=17      

                 ( 5 × 7 ) + ( 6y ) = 17

                                     6y = -18

                                       y = -3

Step:4

      Check for solution,

       Substitute the x and y values in Eqn (1),

                               5x+6y=17

              ( 5 × 7 ) + ( 6 × -3 ) = 17

                        ( 35 ) - ( 18 ) = 17

                                        17 = 17

Result:

        The solution for the equations 5x+6y=17 and -10x-9y= -43 are x=7 and y= -3.

If < A and < B are vertical angles, and < A = 5x - 1 degrees, and < B = 4x + 4 degrees, find x.
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

vertical angles are congruent , so

∠ A = ∠ B , that is

5x - 1 = 4x + 4 ( subtract 4x from both sides )

x - 1 = 4 ( add 1 to both sides )

x = 5

Find the equation that passes through points A and B
Irina18 [472]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A(1,7); B(-3,-1); slope m =(-1-7)/-3-1) = -8/-4 = 2

Equation of a line AB is

((y-y1) = m(x-x1)

y - 7 = 2(x-1)

y - 7 = 2x-2

y = 2x + 5

Will give brainliest! Pls help!
olga2289 [7]

A straight line equals 180 degrees, so the 3 angles in the picture need to equal 180.

X + 90 + 25 = 180

x +115 = 180

Subtract 115 from both sides:

x = 65
