Using elimination, the equations 3x - 4y = 12 and x + 4y = 20 can be solved to show that x = 8 and y = 3. Is this true or false

?

3x - 4y = 12 ----- (1)
x + 4y = 20 ------ (2)

equation (2) x 3: 
3x + 12y = 60 ---(2a)

(2a) - (1):
12y - (-4y) = 60 - 12
12y +  4y = 48
16y = 48
y = 3 ---- sub into equation (2)

x + 4(3) = 20
x + 12 = 20
x = 8

Ans: x = 8 and y = 3 (True)

Both equations have a 4y term, so we can use elimination to easily solve the system.

3x - 4y = 12
x + 4y = 20
----------------
4x + 0y = 32

Now we can solve for x.

4x = 32

x = 8

Now we plug 8 in for x in either of the original equations to find y.

3(8) - 4y = 12

24 - 4y = 12

-4y = -12

y = 3

So yes, it is true that x = 8 and y = 3.

Hope this helps :)

If one of the angles of a triangle is 130 degree then the angle between the bisectors of the other two angles can be
Viefleur [7K]

Answer: D) 155

Step-by-step explanation:

let <A, <B,<C are three angles in a triangle.

sum of the three angles in a triangle is 180degree.

<A+<B+<C=180

130+<B+<C=180 since one angle is given

<B+<C =180-130

<B+<C=50

(<B+<C)/2=25----(1)after bisecting sum of the angles

required angle =180-25=155

d is correct answer

Is it possible for two tangents to intersect outside the circle?
natka813 [3]

Answer:

No.

Step-by-step explanation:

If they do intersect, the measurement of the angles they form is a half the difference of the intercepted arcs; both of the intercepted arcs would measure 180 degrees.
