Answer:

40

Step-by-step explanation:

let the unknown be y (x is used as times(multiplication) )

(y-17)x-6=-138

add /-6 to both sides

y-17x-6/-6=-138/-6

y-17=23

make y independent/add 17 to both sides

y-17+17=23+17

y=40

or in an easier way

-138/-6 =23

23+17=40

simply reversing the question to get the answer

Find the value of y in the solution to the system of equations shown.<br> y= 12x+7<br> y=-6x+25
padilas [110]

Answer:  The required value of y is 19.

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given to find the value of y in the solution to the following system of equations :

y=12x+7~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)\\\\y=-6x+25~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(ii)

Comparing equations (i) and (ii), we get

12x+7=-6x+25\\\\\Rightarrow 12x+6x=25-7\\\\\Rightarrow 18x=18\\\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{18}{18}\\\\\Rightarrow x=1.

From equation (i), we get

y=12\times1+7=12+7=19.

Thus, the required value of y is 19.

Would appreciate the help 24 points
andre [41]

Answer:

13) Rectangle

14) parallelogram

15) co ordinates areD (0,a) andE (c,b)

16) co ordinates are D(0,b) and E(a,0)

17)(-1,1) (4,1) (-1,4)

18)(0,0) (a,0) (a,a) (0,a)

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>13)</h3><h3>Rectangle</h3>

The opposite sides of a rectangle are parallel and equal

left height = right height

(by using distance formula)

(0,3),(2,-2) = (5,5),(7,0)

√(2-0)²+(-2-3)² = √(7-5)²+(0-5)²

√(2)²+(-5)² = √(2)²+(-5)²

√4+25 = √(2)²+(-5)²

√29 = √29 hence equal

<h3>14)</h3><h3>parallelogram</h3>

The opposite sides of a rectangle are not equal

left height = right height

(by using distance formula)

(0,0),(3,-4) = (3,4),(7,0)

√(3-0)²+(-4-0)² = √(7-3)²+(0-4)²

√(3)²+(-4)² = √(5)²+(-4)²

√9+16 = √(25)+(16)

√(25) ≠√41

5 ≠ √41

<h3>15)</h3><h3>co ordinates are D(0,a) and E(c,b)</h3><h3>16)</h3><h3>co ordinates are D(0,b) and E(a,0) </h3>

since rhombus have equal opposite sides

<h3>17)</h3><h3>(-1,1) (4,1) (-1,4)</h3><h3>18)</h3><h3>(0,0) (a,0) (a,a) (0,a)</h3><h3 />

Draw a line having a slope of 1/3 and y-intercept of -1
Lilit [14]
Equation for slope=1/3 and y-intercept=-1 is:
y = mx + b
where m is slope and b is y-intercept.
So, equation becomes
y = -1x + 1/3
Now put different values of x in the equation to get corresponding value of y.
x          y
0         1/3
1        -2/3
2        -5/3
3        -8/3
-1       4/3
-2       7/3
-3       10/3

The limit as x-approaches 3 of f(x) is x-3 over x squared -9
Luden [163]

notice that the denominator can be factored into (x-3)(x+3).

Now you can cross out (x - 3) from the numerator and denomiantor resulting in a simplified fraction of \frac{1}{x+3}

Plug the limit value (which is 3) into the simplified fraction.

Answer: \frac{1}{6}
