Answer:
The solution is x = -2, y = -3
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's start with the equation 3x + y = -9
Substitute the y for 5x+7 seen in the second equation
Now you have 3x + (5x+7) = -9
Lets solve:
Let's add the x's
Now we have 8x + 7 = -9
Substracy seven from each side
Now we have 8x = -16
Now let's divide 8 on each side
Now we have x = -2
Now lets plug in -2 to the second equation
The second equation is y = 5x+7
When we plug in -2 we get y=5(-2)+7
We multiply
We now have y = -10+7
Add
y = -3
The solution is x = -2, y = -3
2x+38=180
2x=142 (or x+x=142 from which 2x=142)
x=71
The unknown angles are each 71
You know this answer is logical as, since two sides are 21 it hints that we are looking at an equilateral triangle, which means two of its angles will be the same
Answer:
21. y = 75000·0.935^t
22. after 74.6 days
23. y = 27.8112·1.18832^t
24. 18.8% per month
25. 1748
Step-by-step explanation:
22. It is convenient to use the graphing calculator to solve this problem. The number of days is where the exponential curve has the value 500. It is about 74.55 days. (see the first attachment)
__
23. y = 27.8112·1.18832^t (see the second attachment)
__
24. The rate of change is the difference between the base of the exponential and 1, often expressed as a percentage. The time period is the units of t.
(1.18832 -1) × 100% ≈ 18.8% . . . . per month
__
25. Evaluating the function for t=24 gives y ≈ 1748.30425259 ≈ 1748.

Divide by 2 to find x, 
Answer:
12.50 - 3.75 = 8.75
$8.75 / $1.25 * (1/2) (per mile) = 3.5 miles
1. Mile .5 (fee and 1st mile)
$3.75 + $1.25 = $5.00
2. Miles .5 - 3.5 (additional 3 miles)
$1.25 * (3*2) = $7.50
Total: $5.00 + 7.50 = $12.50
