Answer:

x=10.5

Step-by-step explanation:

40x-120=24x-48

40x-168=24x

16x-168=0

16x=168

x=10.5

Help quick! I'll mark your answer as the brainliest if your answer is correct!

Answer:

They would never intersect because they are parallel lines. You can tell they are parallel lines because they have the same slope and they have a different y-intercept. However, this doesn't mean that there was no solutions, there were, thats how i was able to tell what their slopes and y-intercepts were. So if there is an answer that you can choose from that explains that they won't intersect because they are parallel then that is the correct answer. It may be C, but I would see if there is another option.

Help Me Find The X Please

Answer:

x = 16

y = 16 sqrt(3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is a right triangle, we can use trig functions

sin theta = opp/hyp

sin 60 = y/ 32

Multiply each side by 32

32 sin 60 = y

32 ( sqrt(3) /2) = y

16 sqrt(2)

cos theta = adj/ hyp

cos 60 = x /32

32 cos 60 = x

32 (1/2) =x

16 =x

7 + 2y = 8x 3x - 2y = 0 Solve the system of equations by substitution. (70/3, 140/9) (7/5, 21/10) no solution coincident

Wittaler [7]

So we have the system of equations:
$7+2y=8x$ equation (1)
$3x-2y=0$ equation (2)

To use substitution, we are going to solve for one variable in one of our equations, and then we are going to replace that value in the other equation:
Solving for $x$ in equation (2):
$3x-2y=0$
$3x=2y$
$x= \frac{2}{3}y$ equation (3)

Replacing equation (3) in equation (1):
$7+2y=8x$
$7+2y=8( \frac{2}{3} y)$
$7+2y= \frac{16}{3} y$
$7= \frac{10}{3} y$
$y= \frac{7}{ \frac{10}{3} }$
$y= \frac{21}{10}$ equation (4)

Replacing equation (4) in equation (3):
$x= \frac{2}{3}y$
$x=( \frac{2}{3} )( \frac{21}{10} )$
$x= \frac{7}{5}$

We can conclude that the solution of our system of equations is <span>(7/5, 21/10)</span>

Answer:

A) By using the Pythagorean Theorem, we will see that $8^2 + 15^2 = 17^2$ . If we simplify it, we will find that the hypotenuse of Δ $ABC = 17$
