Answer:

(The solution is (4, -11).

Step-by-stp explanation:

Let f(x) = g(x) = y:

y = 3x − 23

y = -4.5x + 7 Subtract the second equation from the first to eliminate y:

0 = 7.5x - 30

7.5x = 30

x = 4

Plug this into the first equation:

y = 3(4) - 23

y = -11.

In triangle ABC, m∠A=(6x+9)∘, m∠B=(x−8)∘, and the exterior angle at C is 141∘.

Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

12°

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start with the easy first.

We know that m∠C is 39° because together ∠C and the exterior angle equal 180°. And 180 - 141 = 39.

Now, we can use this to find the remaining two angles.

180° - 39° = 141°

So, this means that we can set up m∠A + m∠B = 141°.

6x + 9 + x - 8 = 141

7x + 1 = 141

7x = 140

x = 20

Finally, we can plug in for our x value and find m∠B.

m∠B = x - 8

m∠B = 20 - 8

m∠B = 12°

There are two numbers, one is 7 more than twice the other. The sum of the numbers is 43. Make the equation to find the smaller n

Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

Smaller number: 12

Greater number: 31

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

Let x equal to the smaller number.

Let y be equal to the greater number.

1) Translate the information into equations

"One is 7 more than twice the other"

⇒ $y=2x+7$

"The sum of the numbers is 43"

⇒ $x+y=43$

2) Use substitution to solve for the smaller number

$x+y=43$

Plug the equation $y=2x+7$ into the above equation

$x+(2x+7)=43\\x+2x+7=43\\3x+7=43$

Subtract both sides by 7

$3x+7-7=43-7\\3x=36$

Divide both sides by 3 to isolate x

$\frac{3x}{3} = \frac{36}{3} \\x=12$

Therefore, the smaller number equates to 12.

3) Use substitution to solve for the greater number

$x+y=43$

Plug in x as 12

$12+y=43$

Subtract both sides by 12 to isolate y

$12+y-12=43-12\\y=31$

Therefore, the greater number equates to 31.

I hope this helps!

What is the value of v? 45(v−7)=2 Enter your answer in the box.

netineya [11]

45(v - 7) = 2...divide both sides by 45
v - 7 = 2/45...add 7 to both sides
v = 2/45 + 7
v = 2/45 + 315/45
v = 317/45 or 7 2/45
