The correct answer is 5, 7, 9.
Answer:
x = - 8/23
y = 40/23
Step-by-step explanation:
-5x- y = 0
and
-8x+3y = 8
The first step to solve this would be to get what one of the two variables equal. The easiest in this case is y from the first equation.
-5x-y = 0
-y = 5x
y = - 5x
Now you can take this y value and plug it into the section equation.
-8x + 3(-5x) = 8
-8x - 15x = 8
-23x = 8
x = - (8/23)
Once you get the x value you can plug it back into equation one to get y's value
-5*-(8/23) - y = 0
40/23 - y = 0
y = 40/23

Answer:
x = 19
A = 30°
B = C = 75°
Step-by-step explanation:
In an isosceles triangle, the angles opposite the congruent sides have the same measures.
A = B
3x +18 = 7x -58
76 = 4x . . . . . . . . add 58-4x
19 = x . . . . . . . . . divide by 4
Then the equal angles measure ...
A = B = 3(19) +18 = 75
C = 2(19) -8 = 30
Angles A, B, C measure 75°, 75°, 30°, respectively.
_____
<em>Alternate solution</em>
The sum of angles in a triangle is 180°, so you could write ...
(3x +18) +(7x -58) +(2x -8) = 180
12x = 228 . . . . . add 48
x = 19 . . . . . divide by 12
