Answer: x=7

ab=21

bc=14

Step-by-step explanation:

ab=3x

bc=2x±7

ac=42

3x±2x±7=42

5x±7=42

5x=42-7

5x=35

to get the value of x you divide 35 by 5x

35÷5x=7

so the value of x is 7

ab=3x

x=7

3x=7×3x

7×3=21

x=7

2x=7×2x

2×7=14

1) Solve the following system of equations algebraically. Give your solution as two

For this case we have the following system of equations:

$y = x ^ 2 + 7x + 12\\y = 2x + 8$

Equating both equations we have:

$x ^ 2 + 7x + 12 = 2x + 8\\x ^ 2 + 7x-2x + 12-8 = 0\\x ^ 2 + 5x + 4 = 0$

We must find the solutions, for this we factor. We look for two numbers that, when multiplied, result in 4 and when added, result in 5. These numbers are 4 and 1:

$4 + 1 = 5\\4 * 1 = 4$

Then, the factorized equation is of the form:

$(x + 4) (x + 1) = 0$

Thus, the solutions are:

$x_ {1} = - 4\\x_ {2} = - 1$

We look for solutions for the variable "y":

$y_ {1} = 2 (-4) + 8 = -8 + 8 = 0\\y_ {2} = 2 (-1) + 8 = -2 + 8 = 6$

Thus, the system solutions are given by: $(x_ {1}, y_ {1}): (- 4,0)\\(x_ {2}, y_ {2}): (- 1,6)$

ANswer:

$(x_ {1}, y_ {1}): (- 4,0)\\(x_ {2}, y_ {2}): (- 1,6)$

Make two equations from the information. Then graph them and see where they intersect. The answer is 62 miles. Plug 62 back into both equations and they should both be the same number.
