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

Mathematics
1 answer:
lianna [129]3 years ago
8 0

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.

Find the midpoint between −18 and 52.
Mama L [17]
Finding the midpoint between two points on a line involves three steps:

1. Find the distance between the two points
2. Find half of that distance
3. Either add that half to the lowest point, or subtract it from the highest point.

To find the distance between 52 and -18, we can take the absolute value of their difference. The reason we take the absolute value is to force the sign to be positive, since distances can never be negative. -18 - 52 = -70, and |-70| = 70.

Second, we find half of that distance, which in this case would be 70/2 = 35.

Finally, we add that value to -18 to find a midpoint of -18 + 35 = 17.

Right or wrong ????
tangare [24]

Answer:

c   1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

You are incorrect.

We are going from ABCDEFGH to A'B'C'D'E'F'G'H'. We are going from the large octagon to the small octagon. The scale factor of a dilation is the number you multiply the original lengths to get the lengths of the dilation.

scale~factor = \dfrac{length~of~dimension~in~dilated~image}{length~of~corresponding~dimension~in~original~figure}

Look at point (6, 0) which becomes (3, 0) in the dilation.

The distance from the origin to (6, 0) is 6 units.

The distance from the origin to (3, 0) is 3 units.

scale factor = dilated/original = 3/6 = 1/2

The scale factor of the dilation is 1/2.

Also look at segment AB whose length is 4. The length of segment A'B' is 2.

scale factor = dilated/original = 2/4 = 1/2

Answer: 1/2

( THE SUM OF THE MEASURES OF THE ANGLES BELOW IS 180* ) I will give brainlst for whoever gets this right and fills it out
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

2x-10+x+x+10=180, or 4x=180

Step-by-step explanation:

So since the total is 180, you add them all up like an equation.

So,

2x-10+x+x+10

Combine like terms

4x=180

x=45

Then plug it back in to the equations.

x=45

(2x-10)=80

(x+10)=55
