Mult. the 2nd eqn by 6 and then add this "new" equation to the 1st given eqn:
-6x + y = -2
6x -18y = 54
--------------------
-17y = 52, or y = -52/17. Subst. this value of y into either equation to find the value of x.
The only answer that makes sense to me is B.
The square root of 5 is 2.23 so it would be closer to 2
The answer is 10 because all the angles are equal making it a equilateral triangle.
Therefore, the sides are all equal to one another, 3x - 8 = 5x - 20.
You just solve for x and get 6. You then plug in 6 for x and evauluate the equation, getting 10.
