Answer:

C. (2, 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Looking at the answer choices, you can see that solving for y will tell you which choice is correct. We can eliminate x from the equations by adding 4 times the second equation to the first:

(8x -3y) +4(-2x +3y) = (1) +4(11) . . . . . adding the equations to eliminate x

9y = 45 . . . simplified; next we divide by 9

y = 5 . . . . . matches choice C

_____

Check

8(2) -3(5) = 16 -15 = 1

-2(2) +3(5) = -4 +15 = 11 . . . . the answer checks OK in both equations

What is the measure of angle k?

Murljashka [212]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

59°

Step-by-step explanation:

Opposite angles of an inscribed quadrilateral are supplementary.

∠N +∠L = 180°

(a +16) +(a -18) = 180

2a = 182 . . . . . . . . . . add 2

a = 91 . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 2

Then the measure of angle M is ...

∠M = (a+30)° = (91 +30)° = 121°

and angle K is its supplement.

∠K = 180° -121°

∠K = 59°

Help PLZ

Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

If they are travelling in opposite directions, their total distance is the 135. So add their distances together to get 135

x=Quinn's speed

x+5 = James' speed

they each travel for 5 hours

speed x time = distance

x(5) + (x+5)(5) = 135

Quinn's distance + James' distance = total distance

5x+5x+25=135

10x = 110

x = 11

Quinn travels at 11 mph and James travels at 16 mph

Quinn travels 55 miles (5x11)

and James travels 80 miles (16 x 5)

80 + 55=135
