Which point satisfies the system of equations y = 3x − 2 and y = -2x + 3?
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

(1,1)

Step-by-step explanation:

The choices are not visible, however are unnecessary to solve this problem.

Given y = 3x - 2 and y = -2x + 3

[Set them equal to each other]

3x - 2 = -2x + 3

[Find x]

3x + 2x - 2 = 3

3x + 2x = 5

5x = 5

x = 1

[Plug x = 1 to both equations to check and find y]

y = 3x - 2

y = 3(1) - 2 = 3 - 2 = 1

y = -2x + 3

y = -2(1) + 3 = -2 + 3 = 1

Both are equal to y = 1 when x = 1

The point is then: (1,1)

Pls answer this question for ill give brainliest
notka56 [123]

Answer:

BE=15

Step-by-step explanation:

Since E is the center, BE=2x+1

And AC is 6x-12 with E being a midpoint.

Since AC is 2 segments and BE is only 1 then you multiply 2x+1 by 2 so that

you can find x. You multiply 2x+12 by 2 because E is the midpoint so that means ED is the same value as BE

6x-12=4x+2

BD=AC

6x-4x-12=2

2x=2+12

2x=14

x=7

BE= 2x+1

2(7)=14+1=15
