Answer:

Substitution method can be used

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the system of equations

y = 2x-1 ....1

-12x + 3y = 9 ....2

The best method to use id the substitution method

Substitute equation 1 into 2;

From 2;

-12x + 3y = 9

-4x + y = 3

-4x + 2x-1 = 3

-2x -1 = 3

-2x = 3+1

-2X = 4

x = -4/2

x = -2

Substitute x = -2 into 1

y = 2x - 1

y = 2(-2)-1

y = -4-1

y = -5

Hence the solution to the system of equation is (-2, -5)

The expression 17n+11 represents the perimeter of a triangle. The other two sides measure 4n+5 and 5n+6. A simplified expression
frutty [35]

Answer: 8n

==========================================================

Explanation:

The two sides 4n+5 and 5n+6 have the terms 4n and 5n which add to 9n. We need 8n to add onto this so that we end up with 17n. In other words, 4n+5n+8n = 9n+8n = 17n

So that is why the answer is 8n. We don't have anything added or subtracted to it because the "+5" and "+6" in the two given expressions (4n+5 and 5n+6) add up to 5+6 = 11 which is what we want in the perimeter expression 17n+11

Side 1 = 4n+5

Side 2 = 5n+6

Side 3 = 8n

Perimeter = (side1) + (side2) + (side3)

Perimeter = (4n+5) + (5n+6) + (8n)

Perimeter = 4n+5 + 5n+6 + 8n

Perimeter = (4n+5n+8n) + (5+6)

Perimeter = 17n+11

So that confirms we have the proper expression for the third missing side.

which set of number could represent the length of the sides of a right triangle? A 9 11 14 B 15 18 21 C 7 24 25 D 8 9 10
EastWind [94]
Common Pythagorean triples include
  (3, 4, 5)
  (5, 12, 13)
  (7, 24, 25)
  (9, 40, 41)
The only Pythagorean triple that is an arithmetic sequence is (3, 4, 5), so any arithmetic sequence that is a Pythagorean triple must be a multiple of that, such as (9, 12, 15) or (15, 20, 25).

The arithmetic sequences of selections B and D are unrelated to the (3, 4, 5) triple, so cannot be Pythagorean triples. For selection A, we know that 9² + 11² = 81 + 121 = 202 > 14², so that is not a right triangle.

The appropriate selection is ...
  C. 7, 24, 25

This figure shows △XYZ . MZ¯¯¯¯¯¯ is the angle bisector of ∠YZX . What is XM ? Enter your answer, as a decimal, in the box. unit
astraxan [27]

Answer:

Length of XM is 5.5 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given △XYZ where MZ is the angle bisector of ∠YZX . we have to find the length of XM.

A triangle with vertices  X, Y, and Z. Side XZ is base. A line segment drawn from Z to M bisects ∠YZX into two parts ∠YZM and ∠XZM.

YZ=7 units, XZ=11 units and YM=3.5 units

By angle bisector theorem which states that an angle bisector of an angle divides the opposite side in two segments that are proportional to the another two sides of the triangle.

Hence, \frac{YM}{MX}=\frac{YZ}{XZ}

⇒ \frac{3.5}{MX}=\frac{7}{11}

⇒ MX=5.5 units.

Hence, length of XM is 5.5 units.
