Step-by-step explanation:

2x-3y= -14

5x+9y= -2

multiply the first one by 5 and the second one by -2 to get equal and opposite value of x.

➡️when you multiply,it will be

10x-15y= -70

-10x-18y= 4

cancel out each x value,then you get

-15y-18y= -70+4

-33y= -66, divide each side by -33 to get the value of y

⚪️y= 2

➡️substitute the value of y in the equation of (2x-3y= -14) to find the value of x

2x-3(2)= -14

2x-6= -14

2x= -14+6

2x= -8 divide both side by 2

⚪️x= -4

so the answer is (-4,2)

Complete the two-column proof. Given:x5+9=11 Given: x 5 + 9 = 11 Prove x=10 Prove x = 10 x5+9=11 x 5 + 9 = 11 a._______ x5=2 x 5

avanturin [10]

Statement Reason

$\frac{x}{5} +9 = 11\\$ Given

Subtract 9 from both the sides

$\frac{x}{5} +9-9 = 11-9\\$ Subtracting same number will not affect equation

$\frac{x}{5} = 2\\$ Simplification

$\frac{x}{5}*5 = 2*5(\\$ Multiplying by 5 both the sides

x= 10 By simplifying both the sides

Thus we solved the equation and got x =10 as answer.

3. Look at the picture.

Use Pythagorean theorem:

$x^2=3.6^2+5.5^2\\\\x^2=12.96+30.25\\\\x^2=43.21\to x=\sqrt{43.21}\\\\\boxed{x\approx6.6}$

4.
Use Pythagorean theorem:

$3^2+\left(\dfrac{x}{2}\right)^2=6.5^2\\\\9+\dfrac{x^2}{4}=42.25\ \ \ |-9\\\\\dfrac{x^2}{4}=33.25\ \ \ \ |\cdot4\\\\x^2=133\to x=\sqrt{133}\\\\\boxed{x\approx11.5}$

Kevin said that if you triple his age the result will be 1 less than his mother age

Ivahew [28]

Basically, this problem is saying that if you multiply x by 3, then you will get a number that is one less than y. So, if you switch that around a bit, then the problem is saying that if you subtract 3x from y, you'll get 1.

Your final answer should be y - 3x = 1.
