Answer:

x = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

The two opposite interior angles that are opposite to the exterior angle are congruent as shown in the diagram.

Therefore, based on the exterior angle theorem of a triangle, we have the following equation:

2(7x + 2)° = (17x - 23)

14x + 4 = 17x - 23

Collect like terms

14x - 17x = -4 - 23

-3x = -27

Divide both sides by -3

-3x/-3 = -27/-3

x = 9

-3x+4y=7 y=3x-5 I NEED HELP PL Z HELP ME

andrew-mc [135]

$- 3x + 4y = 7 \\ y = 3x - 5$

[Substitute the given value of y into the first equation]

$- 3x + 4 \times (3x - 5) = 7$

[Distribute 4 through the parentheses]

$- 3x + 12x - 20 = 7$

[Collect like terms]

$9x - 20 = 7$

[Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign]

$9x = 7 + 20$

[Add the numbers]

$9x = 27$

[Divide both sides of the equation by 9]

$x = 3$

[Substitute the given value of x into the second equation]

$y = 3 \times 3 - 5$

[Multiply the numbers]

$y = 9 - 5$

[Subtract the numbers]

$y = 4$

[The possible solution of the system is the ordered pair (x,y)]

$(x,y)=(3,4)$

Let $c(t)$ be the number of customers in a restaurant $t$ hours after 8 A.M. Match each statement with its meaning.

Leto [7]

Answer:

The meaning of each statement is shown below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume that the given statements are

(a) c(0)=0

(b) c(3)=c(8)

(d) c(13)<c(12)

Let c(t) be the number of customers in a restaurant t hours after 8 A.M.

We need to find the meaning of each given statement.

(a) c(0)=0 means the number of customers 0 hours after 8 A.M (i.e., 8 A.M.) is 0.

(b) c(3)=c(8) means the number of customers 3 hours after 8 A.M (i.e., 11 A.M.) is equal to the number of customers 8 hours after 8 A.M (i.e., 4 P.M.).

(d) c(13)<c(12) means the number of customers 13 hours after 8 A.M (i.e., 9 P.M.) is less than the number of customers 12 hours after 8 A.M (i.e., 8 P.M.).
