Answer:
x = 2 1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
We can examine the equations to see where the solution lies.
<u>f(x) = (2/3) -x</u>
This has an x-intercept where y=0, at x=2/3. It has a y-intercept where x=0, at y=2/3. Its slope is -1.
<u>h(x) = 3 -2x</u>
This has an x-intercept where y=0, at x=3/2. It has a y-intercept where x=0, at y=3. Its slope is -2.
__
In the first quadrant, the graph of h(x) is farther from the origin and steeper than the graph of f(x). The lines must cross in the 4th quadrant at some value of x that is greater than 3/2. The fraction in the definition of f(x) suggests that the solution will be a multiple of 1/3.
The attached table shows a couple of guesses at values of x that would make f(x) = h(x). We find that x = 7/3 is the solution we're looking for.

Answer:
B) x = 8 ; y = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
in a 30-60-90° triangle the sides, respectively, are in the ratio of
1 : : 2
we can find 'x' by creating this proportion:
12/ = x/2
cross-multiply to get:
x = 24
x = 24/
we can simplify this by 'rationalizing the denominator' which is to
multiply numerator and denominator by to get:
(24)÷3, which is 8
we know that side 'y' is half that of side 'x'
therefore y = 4
