Let the two segments be x and y
x+y=45...1
X/y = 2/3...2
From1, y=45-x
Sub this into 2
x/(45-x)=2/3
3x=90-2X
5x=90
x=18
y=45-18=27
<span>2+3(x-3)+1-5(2-x)
The first thing we must do is distribute...
2 + 3x - 9 + 1 - 10 + 5x
Then we must combine like terms. We can combine terms with an x together and we can combine terms without an x together.
2 - 9 + 1 - 10 = -16
3x + 5x = 8x
So our simplified expression is C. 8x - 16</span>
we are given

now, we can factor out right side term


now, we can plug back
and we get
so,
.............Answer
Is it
3x-10= 3(-6)-10= -28
Y-5= -2-5=-7
