Answer:

x=3 and y= -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Solve2x+y=5 for y:

2x+y=5

2x+y+−2x=5+−2x(Add -2x to both sides)

y=−2x+5

Step 2: Substitute−2x+5foryin5x+3y=12:

5x+3y=12

5x+3(−2x+5)=12

−x+15=12(Simplify both sides of the equation)

−x+15+−15=12+−15(Add -15 to both sides)

(Divide both sides by -1)

x=3

Step 3: Substitute3forxiny=−2x+5:

y=−2x+5

y=(−2)(3)+5

y=−1(Simplify both sides of the equation)

Answer:

x=3 and y=−1

Segments cf, eb, and ad are medians of triangle ace. cf = 3.6 m. what is the length of segment cg?

Vaselesa [24]

Assuming g is the centroid, it is 2/3 of the length of cf from point c.
cg = (2/3)cf = (2/3)3.6 m
cg = 2.4 m

Please help me out. I don’t understand this problem.. An equation of a line through (-7,-10) which is perpendicular to the line

nordsb [41]

Answer:

The Equation:

$y = \frac{1}{3}x - \frac{23}{3}$

The y-intercept:

$-\frac{23}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Things you need to know:

Perpendicular mean opposite slope.

Need to know point slope form of a linear equation $y - y_1 = x(x - x_1)$

Ok, with that out the way, lets get started!

From the equation y = -3x + 2 we can see the slope, which is -3. We are asked to find an equation that is perpendicular to that slope so that means we need an opposite slope. To turn this slope to an opposite slope flip it and change the sign

-3 = $\frac{-3}{1} = \frac{1}{3}$

Now that we have our opposite slope, which is $\frac{1}{3}$ , we can find the equation the problem is asking us to solve.

We do this by using the point (-7, -10) and our new slope, which is $\frac{1}{3}$ and by using $y - y_1 = x(x - x_1)$

Insert our point and slope into $y - y_1 = x(x - x_1)$ and solve for y

$y - y_1 = x(x - x_1)$

$y - (-10) = \frac{1}{3}(x - (-7))$

$y + 10) = \frac{1}{3}(x + 7))$

Work on the right side of the = sign

Distribute 1/3 to x and 7

$y + 10 = \frac{1}{3}(x + 7))$

$y + 10 = \frac{1}{3}x + \frac{7}{3}$

Bring the 10 over to the right side by adding a -10

$y + 10 -10= \frac{1}{3}x + \frac{7}{3} - 10$

$y = \frac{1}{3}x + \frac{7}{3} - 10$

Do the math for $\frac{7}{3} - 10 = -\frac{23}{3}$

$y = \frac{1}{3}x - \frac{23}{3}$

We are done.

The Equation:

$y = \frac{1}{3}x - \frac{23}{3}$

The y-intercept:

$-\frac{23}{3}$

Martha is making lemonade. She needs lemon juice, sugar and water. She needs 1 cup of lemon juice and 3 cups of water. Which cup

mixer [17]

Answer:

0.61 ( A )

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard proportion of Sugar, lemon juice and water needed to make a Lemonade is Usually 1 cup each

But If you Intend to make Your lemonade less sweet you can increase the water or reduce the amount of sugar to ≈ 1 ( i.e. less than 1 but approximately = 1 )

Hence The appropriate amount of sugar needed will be = 0.61
