Answer:
D. Multiply the second equation by 3. The solution is x = 12, y = 10.
Step-by-step explanation:
First, look at the y variable of the first equation. It is 3y.
To solve by elimination, the variables have to add together to 0.
So, -3y needs to be added to -3y to eliminate the y variable.
The second equation has the y variable of -y, so it has to be multiplied by 3.
So, answer choice D is the correct answer.
<u>Given</u><u> info</u><u>:</u><u>-</u> In triangle (∆)ABC , in which ∠A = 2x, ∠B = x+15° and ∠C = 2x + 10°. Then find the value of x , also find the measure of each angles of a triangle.
<u>Explanation</u><u>:</u><u>-</u>
Let the angles be 2x, x+15 and 2x+10 respectively.
∵ Sum of the three angles of a triangle is 180°
∴ ∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180° [Sum of ∠s of a ∆=180°]
→2x + x+15 + 2x+10 = 180°
→ 2x + x + 2x + 15 + 10 = 180°
→ 3x + 2x + 15 + 10 = 180°
→ 5x + 15 + 10 = 180°
→ 5x + 25 = 180°
→ 5x = 180°-25
→ 5x = 155°
→ x = 155°÷5 = 155/5 = 31.
Now, finding the measure of each angles of a ∆ABC by putting the original value of “x”.
∴ ∠A = 2x = 2(31) = 62°
∠B = x+15 = 31 + 15 = 46°
∠C = 2x + 10 = 2(31) + 10 = 62 + 10 = 72°.
Answer:
<em>I will need to buy 22.5 pounds of turkey and pay $23.63</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Proportions</u>
Each person is planned to eat 2 x 3/8 pound servings of turkey for thanksgiving dinner. This means each person will eat

pounds of turkey.
There are going to be 15 people at the dinner, thus the total turkey needed is:

The turkey costs $1.05 per pound, thus the total cost is
22.5*$1.05 = $23.63
I will need to buy 22.5 pounds of turkey and pay $23.63
