Answer:

x = 17, y = 9

or as an ordered pair, (17, 9).

The equations are consistent.

Step-by-step explanation:

2x - 3y = 7

x - 2y = -1 Multiply this equation by -2:

-2x + 4y = 2 Add this to the first equation:

y = 9.

Plug y = 9 into the second equation:

x - 2*9 = -1

x = -1 + 18 = 17.

Can someone please help me I really need help help me thank you

Answer:

Step-by-Step Explanation:

<em><u>Perimeter</u></em> = 75

<em><u>Sides:</u></em>

2x + 3

3x + 4

2x - 9

<h2 /><h2><em><u>1. Equal the sides added together to the perimeter</u></em></h2>

75 = 2x + 3 + 3x + 4 + 2x - 9

<h2><em><u>2. Simplify Like terms</u></em></h2>

2x + 3 + 3x + 4 + 2x - 9 = 7x - 2

<h2><em><u>3. Place the equation back together</u></em></h2>

75 = 7x - 2

<h2><em><u>4. Isolate the variables and numbers</u></em></h2>

75 = 7x - 2

+2 +2

77 = 7x

<h2><em><u>5. Simplify the equation</u></em></h2>

77 = 7x

/7 /7

<h2><em><u>6. Substitute the value of x into the side lengths.</u></em></h2>

2x + 3 = 2(11) + 3 = 22 + 3 = <em><u>25</u></em>

3x + 4 = 3(11) + 4 = 33 + 4 = <em><u>37</u></em>

2x - 9 = 2(11) - 9 = 22 - 9 = <em><u>13</u></em>

Given segments AB and CD intersect at E.

nata0808 [166]

The length of a segment is the distance between its endpoints.

$\mathbf{AB = 3\sqrt{2}}$
AB and CD are not congruent
AB does not bisect CD
CD does not bisect AB

<u>(a) Length of AB</u>

We have:

$\mathbf{A = (1,2)}$

$\mathbf{B = (4,5)}$

The length of AB is calculated using the following distance formula

$\mathbf{AB = \sqrt{(x_1 - x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2}}$

So, we have:

$\mathbf{AB = \sqrt{(1 - 4)^2 + (2 - 5)^2}}$

$\mathbf{AB = \sqrt{18}}$

Simplify

$\mathbf{AB = 3\sqrt{2}}$

<u>(b) Are AB and CD congruent</u>

First, we calculate the length of CD using:

$\mathbf{CD = \sqrt{(x_1 - x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2}}$

Where:

$\mathbf{C = (2, 4)}$

$\mathbf{D = (2, 1)}$

So, we have:

$\mathbf{CD = \sqrt{(2 -2)^2 + (4 - 1)^2}}$

$\mathbf{CD = \sqrt{9}}$

$\mathbf{CD = 3}$

By comparison

$\mathbf{CD \ne AB}$

Hence, AB and CD are not congruent

<u>(c) AB bisects CD or not?</u>

If AB bisects CD, then:

$\mathbf{AB = \frac 12 \times CD}$

The above equation is not true, because:

$\mathbf{3\sqrt 2 \ne \frac 12 \times 3}$

Hence, AB does not bisect CD

<u>(d) CD bisects AB or not?</u>

If CD bisects AB, then:

$\mathbf{CD = \frac 12 \times AB}$

The above equation is not true, because:

$\mathbf{3 \ne \frac 12 \times 3\sqrt 2}$

Hence, CD does not bisect AB
