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

Find the value of the expression 63 - 21 + (3 x 11)
bixtya [17]

Answer: First solve the parentheses using order of operations. Then add and subtract from left to right.

Demo:

(3 * 11) = 33

Equation now looks like:

63 - 21 + 33

63 - 21 = 42

Equation now looks like:

42 + 33

42 + 33 = 75

The value of this expression is 75.

Help plz!!!
lara [203]

Answer with explanation:

→→→Function 1

f(x)= - x²+ 8 x -15

Differentiating once , to obtain Maximum or minimum of the function

f'(x)= - 2 x + 8

Put,f'(x)=0

-2 x+ 8=0

2 x=8

Dividing both sides by , 2, we get

x=4

Double differentiating the function

f"(x)= -2, which is negative.

Showing that function attains maximum at ,x=4.

Now,f(4)=-4²+ 8× 4-15

           = -16 +32 -15

          = -31 +32

          =1

→→→Function 2:

f(x) = −x² + 2 x − 3

Differentiating once , to obtain Maximum or minimum of the function

f'(x)= -2 x +2

Put,f'(x)=0

-2 x +2=0

2 x=2

Dividing both sides by , 2, we get

x=1

Double differentiating the function,gives

f"(x)= -2 ,which is negative.

Showing that function attains maximum at ,x=1.

f(1)= -1²+2 ×1 -3

   = -1 +2 -3

  = -4 +2

 = -2

⇒⇒⇒Function 1  has the larger maximum.
