Step 1: Set the two equations equal to each other and solve for x.
3x -5 = 6x - 8
3x + (-5+5) = 6x -8 + 5
(3x - 6x) = (6x - 6x) - 3
-3x/-3 = -3/-3
x = 1
Step 2: To solve for y take one of the given equation of your choice (for the purpose of this explanation I will only do y = 3x - 5) and replace x with 1, then solve for y
y = 3(1) - 5
y = 3 - 5
y = -2
(1,-2)
Check:
-2 = 3(1) - 5 ---> - 2 = -2
-2 = 6(1) - 8 ---> -2 = -2
Hope this helped!
Answer:
<u></u>
- <u>She should aim 6 feet down the wall</u>
Explanation:
The diagram attached sketches the situtation.
Since the angle with which the ball hits the wall is the same with which it bounces, angle β is the same for the two shown triangles.
Then, since both are right triangles, then all the angles are congruent and the triangles are similar. Hence, you can equal the ratios of the sides, to make an equation:
You have other equation:
Substitute
- 2y + y = 18
- 3y = 18
- y = 18/3
- y = 6 ← this is the distance down the wall where the ball should hit
Then, she should aim 6 feet down the wall.
To find this, turn the word question into an equation.
"One less than" means - 1, which is 1 being subtracted from something.
"half a number" means 1/2x, since 1/2 is half and x is unknown.
"is 12" means = 12, which is something equals 12.
Putting this in order would be 1/2x, then - 1, then = 12.
As an equation, this is 1/2x - 1 = 12.
So the equation is 1/2x - 1 = 12
Now you must find the number by solving this equation.
1/2x - 1 = 12
First, add 1 to both sides.
12 + 1 = 13
1/2x = 13
Now multiply both sides by 2.
This way, x will be isolated since 1/2x • 2 = 1x, and 1x = x.
13 • 2 = 26
x = 26
The number is 26.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
D
P=2(l+w)
Substitute width plus 3 for length
Remember order of operations: multiply before adding
86=2((w+3) + w)
86=2w+6+2w
86=4w+6
80=4w
20=w
23=w+3=l
Check the answer
86=2((w+3) + w)
86=2((20+3)+20
86=2(23+20)
86=46+40
86=86
