Answer:
x = 18
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to find the value of x.
We know that the sum of angles of a triangle is equal to 180°. So, using this property,
2x+1+3x-1+90 = 180
2x+3x = 180-90
5x = 90
x = 18
So, the value of x is equal to 18.
Put ur equation in y = mx + b form because the slope will be in the m position.
5x + 3y + 12 = 0
3y = -5x - 12
y = -5/3x - 4
y = mx + b
y = -5/3x + (-4)......as u can see, the number in the m position (the slope) is -5/3 <===
Answer:
x = -8
y = -6
Step-by-step explanation:
y = -2x - 22
y = x + 2
x + 2 = -2x - 22
x + 2x = -22 - 2
3x = -24
x = -24 : 3
x= -8
y = -8 + 2
y = -6
Answer:
17, 19 and 21
Step-by-step explanation:
Consecutive odd numbers mean odd numbers that are right next to each other.
Eg: 3, 5, 7
Let x represent the youngest sister. The sister older than her will be 2 years older than her, hence (2 + x). The oldest sister would be 4 years older than the youngest and two years older than the middle sister, hence (4 + x).
The sum of their age = 57.
Hence:
x + (2 + x) + (4 + x) = 57
x + 2 + x + 4 + x = 57
Simplify
3x + 6 = 57
Rearrange
3x = 57 - 6
3x = 51
Divide both sides by 3 to make x on its own (this way we can find the age of the youngest sister).
x = 17 (youngest sister is 17 years old)
x + 2 = 19 (middle sister is 19 years old)
x + 4 = 21 (oldest sister is 21 years old)
