Answer:
x = 3
y = 15
Step-by-step explanation:
If △XPS ≅△DNF, their corresponding sides would be congruent. This implies that:
XP ≅ DN
PS ≅ NF
XS ≅ DF
Given that:
XP = 4y - 3
DN = 57
NF = 51
XS = 17x + 3
DF = 54
Therefore:
XP = DN
4y - 3 = 57 (Substitution)
Add 3 to both sides
4y = 57 + 3
4y = 60
Divide both sides by 4
y = 60/4
y = 15
Also,
XS = DF
17x + 3 = 54 (substitution)
Subtract 3 from each side
17x = 54 - 3
17x = 51
Divide both sides by 17
x = 51/17
x = 3
Ok, so here your being asked to solve 6x2<span> + 5x = -7
The procedure that I did was using this formula it led me to get the following:
</span>Using the formula:
x = -(-5) ± √(-5)² - 4(6)(-6)/ 2(6)
x = 5 ± √ 25 + 144 / 12
x = 5 ± √ 169 / 12
x = 5 ± 13/12
x1 = 5 + 13/12
x1 = 18/12
x1 = 3/2
x2 = 5 - 13/12
x2 = -8/12
<span>
x2 = - 2/3
Hope this helped :)</span>
3 is the slope, (0,-5) is the y-intercept of the graph.
