Answer:

<em>x = 2          y = 5</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we know that

x = y - 3

We can insert that into the equation above:

2(y-3) + y = 9

After having this equation, we can start by multiplying the numbers/variables in the parenthesis by 2.

2y - 6 + y = 9

Then add the common multiples (2y and y)

That makes:

3y - 6 = 9

We need to get 3y on a side by itself, so to do this, we can add 6 to (-6) and (9)

That makes:

3y = 15

Divide the 3 by 3 and 15 to get the y on its own:

y = 5

Now we need to find x, and to do this we can insert y into the equation:

2x + 5 = 9

Now subtract the 5 from the (5) and (9) and you'll get

2x = 4

Then you divide the 2 on both sides and get

x = 2

You can check your work by inserting x and y into the equation

2(2) + 4 = 9  

Sorry for this super long explanation, and hope this helps

Answer:

x=2 and y=5

Step-by-step explanation:

Steps:

I will solve your system by substitution.

x=y−3;2x+y=9

Step: Solve x = y − 3 for x:

Step: Substitute y − 3 for x in 2x + y = 9:

2x+y=9

2(y−3)+y=9

3y−6=9(Simplify both sides of the equation)

3y−6+6=9+6(Add 6 to both sides)

3y=15

3y/3=15/3  (Divide both sides by 3)

y=5

Step: Substitute 5 for y in x = y − 3 :

x=y−3

x=5−3

x=2(Simplify both sides of the equation)

Answer:

x=2 and y=5

What’s the answer and work for this?
sergeinik [125]

to find the value of x, you have to subtract 95 from 180. so the value of x will be 85. to find the value of y, you have to add the value of x which is 85 to the given angle which is 50. the angle would be 135. since the triangle is 180 degree, now u subtract 135 from 180. and the value of y will be 45. so x is 85 degree and y is 45 degree. hope that helps.

Determine if the segment X is half the length, double the length, two thirds the length, or the same length as segment Y.
Ipatiy [6.2K]
The right answer is The Same Length.
The triangle displayed is Isosceles. The explanation of this statement is the fact that the Line which is making a right angle it is also the one that slices the segment into equal segments. Mathematically speaking, in our triangle the 
Median is perpendicular on the segment from which results that the triangle is Isosceles and x = y.
