Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

2x + y = 3 → (1)

5x - 2y = 12 → (2)

Multiplying (1) by 2 and adding to (2) will eliminate the y- term

4x + 2y = 6 → (3)

Add (2) and (3) term by term

(5x + 4x ) +( - 2y + 2y) = 12 + 6 , that is

9x = 18 ( divide both sides by 9 )

x = 2

Which of the following is the equation of a line perpendicular to the line y=-10×+1 passing through the point (5,7)
Juliette [100K]
Y = -10x + 1...slope here is -10. A perpendicular line will have a negative reciprocal slope. To find the negative reciprocal of a number, flip the number and change the sign. So our perpendicular line will need a slope of 1/10.

y = mx + b
slope(m) = 1/10
(5,7)....x = 5 and y = 7
now sub and find b, the y int
7 = 1/10(5) + b
7 = 1/2 + b
7 - 1/2 = b
14/2 - 1/2 = b
13/2 = b

so ur perpendicular line going thru (5,7) is y = 1/10x + 13/2

Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

<h2>The averages are equal, since both are 4.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

2 + 4 + 6 = 12 / 3 = 4

Average of even numbers = 4

1 + 3 + 5 + 7 = 16 / 4 = 4

Average of odd numbers = 4

The averages are equal, since both are 4.
