Answer:

x=84

y=59

Step-by-step explanation:

if the triangles are similar than the angles don't change so and y is equal to 59.

to find the missing side we do 40/30 x 63 and we get that x=84

What is the solution to the following system of equations 2x+3y=3 and -3x-2y=8

SpyIntel [72]

2x+3y=3
-3x-2y=8

3y=3-2x
-2y = 8+3x

y = 1 - 2x/3
y = -4 - 3x/2

1 - 2x/3 = -4 - 3x/2

5 = - 3x/2 + 2x/3

5 = -9x/6 + 4x/6

5 = -5x/6

x = 5 * 6/-5

x = -6

No plug it in.

2x+3y=3 ; x = -6

-12 + 3y = 3

3y=3+12

3y=15

y = 5

So x = -6 and y = 5

Jane multiplies her number by three and subtracts 2.

katrin [286]

Answer:

Let the number they chose be 'x'.

Result of Jane = $3x -2$

Result of Elliot = $2x+3$

Given that,

The product of their result = 110

$or, (3x-2)(2x+3) = 110\\or, 6x^{2} +9x-4x-6 = 110\\or, 6x^{2} +5x - 6 = 110\\or, 6x^{2} +5x - 6-110 = 0\\\\or, 6x^{2} +5x - 116 = 0\\or, 6x^{2} +29x - 24x - 116 = 0\\or, x (6x +29) -4(6x+29) = 0\\or, (x-4)(6x+29) = 0\\i.e. x=4 or x=\frac{-29}{6} \\So,~ the ~number ~they~ chose~was ~either ~4 ~or ~\frac{-29}{6}$
