Answer:

(2, - 2 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

- 3x - 4y = 2 → (1)

x + 2y = - 2 → (2)

Rearrange (2) expressing x in terms of y by subtracting 2y from both sides

x = - 2 - 2y → (3)

Substitute x = - 2 - 2y into (1)

- 3(- 2 - 2y) - 4y = 2 ← distribute parenthesis and simplify left side

6 + 6y - 4y = 2

2y + 6 = 2 ( subtract 6 from both sides )

2y = - 4 ( divide both sides by 2 )

y = - 2

Substitute y = - 2 into (3) for corresponding value of x

x = - 2 - 2(- 2) = - 2 + 4 = 2

solution is (2, - 2 )

Solve for x -9<4x+3<27 enter your answer as one inequality in the box

ludmilkaskok [199]

If a< c< b then a<c and c<b

Separate the equation into 2 separate ones and solve them:

X-9 < 4x +3

Subtract 3 from both sides:

X-12 < 4x

Subtract x from both sides:

-12< 3x

Divide both sides by 3:

X > -4

4x+3 < 27

Subtract 3 from both sides

4x < 24

Divide both sides by 4

X <6

Combine to get one inequality:

-4<x<6

Can someone please explain?

This is an isosceles triangle. The angles at the base are congruent (they have the same measures).

Look at the picture.

We know: The sum of the measures of angles in a triangle is equal 180°.

Therefore we have the equation:

$2x-10+2x-10+3x+25=180$ <em>combine like terms</em>

$(2x+2x+3x)+(-10-10+25)=180$

$7x+5=180$ <em>subtract 5 from both sides</em>

$7x=175$ <em>divide both sides by 7</em>

$x=25$

$m\angle A=2x-10\to m\angle A=2(25)-10=50-10=40\\\\m\angle C=m\angle A=40\\\\m\angle B=3x+25\to m\angle B=3(25)+25=75+25=100^o$

<h3>Answer: D. m∠C = 40</h3>

In a sale, normal prices are reduced by 17%. The normal price of a washing machine is reduced by £42.50

Misha Larkins [42]

Answer: The original price of washing machine is $250.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Rate of decline in normal prices = 17%

Amount of normal price reduced by = $42.50

Let the original price be x

According to question,

$\frac{17}{100}\times x=42.50\\\\x=\frac{100}{17}\times 42.50\\\\x=\$250$

Hence, The original price of washing machine is $250.
