13x+6y = -30................y = -5 -13x/6
x−2y=−4...................... y = x/2 +2 <span>
If we graph both lines we can get the solution of the system (point of intersection)
The best estimate is (x,y) = (-2.625, 0.688)</span>
Answer:
BC = 6.8
Step-by-step explanation:
The distance from A to B, then from B to C, is the same distance as from A to C.
Thus,
AB + BC = AC
AB = 8x + 8
BC = 4x + 2
AC = 22
AB + BC = AC
(8x + 8) + (4x + 2) = 22
Expanding the parenthesis:
8x + 8 + 4x + 2 = 22
8x + 4x + 8 + 2 = 22
12x + 12 = 22
Subtracting 12 from both sides:
12x = 10
Dividing both sides by 12:
x = 10/12 = 1.2
x = 1.2
We're looking for BC. As we know,
BC = 4x + 2
Let's now put in x = 1.2 into this equation:
BC = 4x + 2
BC = 4 * 1.2 + 2
Since 4 * 1.2 is 4.8:
BC = 4.8 + 2
BC = 6.8
Answer: BC = 6.8
Answer:
No
Step-by-step explanation:
Triangular Inequalities state that in a triangle, the sides must always be less than the sum of the other two.
You would have sides x, 2x, 3x in this case and use the inequality a+b>c.
if...
a=x, b=2x, c=3x
then...
x+2x>3x
3x>3x which is false.
Therefore you cannot make a triangle with sides proportional to 1, 2, and 3.
