Hello!

\large\boxed{5, -8}

5x + 2y = 9

4x - 3y = 44

We can eliminate y by multiplying both expressions in order to have the y coefficients equal.

The LCM (least common multiple) of 2 and 3 is 6, so we can multiply each accordingly:

3(5x + 2y = 9)

2(4x - 3y = 44)

Distribute:

15x + 6y = 27

8x - 6y = 88

Cancel using addition:

15x + 6y = 27

8x - 6y = 88

------------------

23x = 115

Divide:

x = 5.

Plug in this value of x into an equation to solve for y:

5(5) + 2y = 9

25 + 2y = 9

2y = -16

y = -8

The solution of the system is:

(5, -8).

A rental car company charges $68.80 per day to rent a car and $0.08
viktelen [127]

Answer:

  • 5 days maximum

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given</u>

  • Daily charge = $68.80
  • Charge per mile = $0.08
  • Target distance = 325 miles
  • Money limit = $370

<u>Required inequality:</u>

  • 68.8d + 325*0.08 ≤ 370

<u>Solving for d:</u>

  • 68.8d + 26 ≤ 370
  • 68.8d ≤ 344
  • d ≤ 344/68.8
  • d ≤ 5

Up to 5 days is the answer

Two lines intersect in a plane in form for angles what are the angles formed fathers intersect is a 53° angle what are the measu
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

53°, 127°, 127°

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Two intersecting lines form two pairs of angles:</u>

  • Pair of vertical angles. They are opposite to each other and are equal
  • Pair of adjacent angles which are supplementary angles and their sum is  180°

<u>So if one of the angles is measured 53°, then the other angles are:</u>

  • 53°- vertical angle with the first one
  • 180° - 53° = 127°
  • 180° - 53° = 127°
