Solve the simultaneous equation 2x - 5y = 9 3x + 4y = 2

Answer:

x = 2, y = -1.

Step-by-step explanation:

2x - 5y = 9

3x + 4y = 2

Multiply first equation by -3 and the second by 2:

-6x + 15y = -27

6x + 8y = 4            Adding the 2 equations:

23y = -23

y = -1.

Now substitute this value for y in the first equation:

2x - 5(-1) = 9

2x = 9 +5(-1)

2x = 9 - 5

2x = 4

x = 2.

Answer:

  7 7/8

Step-by-step explanation:

There are several ways to get there.

  2.25×3.5 = 7.875 = 7 7/8

  (2 1/4)(3 1/2) = (9/4)(7/2) = 63/8 = 7 7/8

  (2 1/4)(3.5) = 2(3.5) +(1/4)(3.5) = 7 + (2·3.5)/(2·4) = 7 +7/8 = 7 7/8

A typical graphing calculator will let you enter this problem directly, giving you a result either as a decimal, improper fraction, or a mixed number.

Plz help I dont understand this at all

1) the sum of all three angles in a triangle is always 180, so number 5 is w=80

2)I assume they mean x. since the x angle and the 70 angle are a linear pair they must add to 180, so x has to be 110

3) the top 60 angle makes a vertical angles with the angle right below it. since vertical angles are congruent, the angle below has to be 60 also. again all 3 must add to 180 so o is also 60

4) these are all linear pairs. every angle shown has to be 90
