Answer:

x = 4

y = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Remark

If a triangle is equilateral all three sides are equal. So each side has equal statements.

Solution

3x + 2 = 5x - 2y            Subtract 3x from both sides

2 = 5x -3x - 2y              Combine

2 = 2x - 2y                     divide by 2

x - y = 1                          Equation 1

3x + 2 = 6y - 4            Equilateral triangles have equal sides. Subtract 6y

3x - 6y + 2=  - 4          Subtract 2

3x - 6y = -4 - 2

3x - 6y = - 6                Divide by 3

x - 2y = - 2                  Equation 2.

Now subtract equation 1 from equation 2

x - 2y = - 2

x -  y    =  1                    Subtract

  - y    = - 3                   Multiply by -2

    y = 3

Put y = 3 into equation 1

x - y = 1

x - 3 = 1                         Add 3 to both sides.

x = 4

Answer

x = 4

y = 3

larisa [96]

Answer: 45

Step-by-step explanation:

A right isosceles triangle can only ever have two equal sides, since he sum of the three angles of any triangle is equal to 180 degrees, do the quick math of 180 - 90 = 90, then 90/2 = 45. Both remaining angles of the triangle are 45 degrees, including x, and when you add all angles together 90 + 45 + 45 it equals 180 degrees.

Explain how the values of h and k in y=|x-h|+k affect the graph of y=|x|
Dvinal [7]

Answer:

Horizontal shift:

For the parent function f(x) and a constant h, the function given by   g(x) = f(x-h)  can be sketched by shifting f(x) h units horizontally.

The values of h determines the direction of shifts:

If :

  • h>0, the parent graph shifts h units to the right
  • h < 0, the parent graph shifts h units to the left.

Vertical shifts:

For the parent function f(x) and  a constant k, the function given by  g(x) =f(x) +k  can be sketched by shifting f(x) k units vertically.

The value of k determines the direction of shifts;

if:

  • k > 0, the parent graph shifts k units upward, and
  • k < 0, the parent graph shifts k units downward.

Therefore, the values of  h and k in y=|x-h|+k affect the graph of y=|x| tells us how far the graph shifts horizontally and vertically.

f(x)= 1/x, vertically stretched by a factor of 7, reflected in the y-axis, translated 5 units to the right, and translated 3 uni
Harman [31]

Answer:

-7/(x-5) - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

First off, to reflect an equation in the y axis, just multiply by -1. Now that it is reflected, to stretch an equation by a factor of 7, multiply it by 7. Now we have -7/x.

Then, to move an equation down by 3 units, simply subtract it by 3. Now we have -7/x - 3.

Lastly, since you want to translate it 5 units to the left, you want the equation to be undefined at x = 5 (because originally it is undefined at x = 0). To do that, set the denominator to x - 5. We arrive at our answer: -7/(x-5) - 3.
