3f+3=t
s=2f
21=f+s+t

21=f+(2f)+(3f+3)
21=6f+3
18=6f

3=first
6=second
12=third

Which ordered pair is the best estimate for the solution of the system of equations

Colt1911 [192]

The ordered pair that is the best estimate for the solution of the system of equations is (7, 1/2)

The given system of equations is:

$y=-\frac{1}{2}x + 4.......................(1)\\\\y = \frac{1}{2}x-3..........................(2)$

Equate equations (1) and (2)

$-\frac{1}{2}x + 4=\frac{1}{2}x -3$

Solve for x in the equation above

$-\frac{1}{2}x -\frac{1}{2}x =-3-4\\\\-x=-7\\\\x=7$

Substitute x = 7 into equation (1)

$y=-\frac{1}{2}x + 4\\\\y=-\frac{1}{2}(7) + 4\\\\y=\frac{1}{2}$

The ordered pair that is the best estimate for the solution of the system of equations is (7, 1/2)

I’m really stuck on this problem

wariber [46]

The answer would be x=14 because the 70 degree side would be the same as the (5x) degrees side. So you divide 70 by 5 and that’s how you get 14!!!

Hope this helps!!
