Answer:

Solution: x= -36, y=51

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve the system:

x + y = 15

-5x - 3y = 27

By using the reduction method.

Multiply the first equation by 3:

3x + 3y = 45

Add it to the second equation:

3x - 5x = 45 + 27

Simplifying:

-2x = 72

Dividing by -2:

x = 72/(-2)

x = -36

From the first equation:

-36 + y = 15

Adding 36:

y = 15 + 36 = 51

y = 51

Solution: x= -36, y=51

gladu [14]

Which property of congruence whould prove BD ≡ BD?

The triangle ABD and CBD has the same side = BD
Because they get the same side, they applied to the rule "reflexive property".
If you look at ABD, CBD, they are reflecting each other like a mirror.

$\text{Answer: }\text{Distance traveled by steamboat}=20\text{ knots}\\\text{Distance traveled by yacht }=20+20=40\text{ knots}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Time taken by steamboat makes the trip=5 hours

Time taken by yacht makes the trip =2.5 hours

Since we have also given that

the yacht is 20 knots faster than the steamboat,

So let the speed of steamboat be x

Let the speed of yacht be x+20

Now, we have given that both boats will travel the same distance ,

So,

$\text{Distance traveled by steamboat}=\text{ Distance traveled by yacht}\\\\x\times 5=(x+20)\times 2.5\\\\5x=2.5x+50\\\\5x-2.5x=50\\\\2.5x=50\\\\x=\frac{50}{2.5}\\\\x=20\text{ knots}$

Hence,

$\text{Distance traveled by steamboat}=20\text{ knots}\\\text{Distance traveled by yacht }=20+20=40\text{ knots}$
