A person drives 500 miles in 5 hours.
There are several ways you can solve this problem if you're trying to solve for m and n. You can substitute, or systems of equations. However, I'm going to use substitution:
2m + n = 0 => n = -2m
We can input that in for the other equation:
m + 2n = 3 now becomes: m + 2(-2m) = 3
Now we can solve:
m + 2(−2m) = 3
m + −4m = 3
(m + −4m) = 3 (Combine Like Terms)
−3m=3
m = -1
Now we can input that value in to solve for n:
We said that n = -2m, and m = -1, so n = -2(-1):Answer:
n = 2
Your final answer is m = -1, and n = 2, which can also be written as (m,n) = (-1,2)
----------------------
However, if you were solving for m+n:
You would add the two equations!:
2m + n = 0
m + 2n = 3
----------
3m + 3n = 3
Now, you can take 3 common:
3(m+n) = 3
m + n = 1
Your final answer for what m + n equals 1!
If the triangles are congruents:
1) AC must be congruent with FE→AC=FE→y+3=2y+1→
y+3-y-1=2y+1-y-1→
2=y→y=2
2) CB must be congruent with ED→CB=ED→5x+7=6x+2y→
5x+7-5x=6x+2y-5x→7=x+2y→x+2y=7
Replacing y=2 in the equation above:
x+2y=7→x+2(2)=7→x+4=7→x+4-4=7-4→x=3
Then the lenght of each hypotenuse is:
CB=5x+7=5(3)+7=15+7→CB=22
or
ED=6x+2y=6(3)+2(2)=18+4→ED=22
The length of each hypotenuse is 22
Ok, let’s take it step by step.
In order to write an equation in slope intercept form, solve for y.
3x+4y=12
First, subtract 3x from both sides.
4y=-3x+12
Now, divide both sides by 4.
y=-3/4x+3.
So, 3x+4y=12 written in slope intercept form is y=-3/4x+3.
