5x - 2y = -15 and 3x + 8y = 37

Mathematics
1 answer:
xxTIMURxx [149]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

y=5

x=-1

Step-by-step explanation:

5x-2y=-15

3x+8y=37

add 2y to both sides

5x=2y-15

divide both sides by 5

x=(2y-15)/5

x=2y/5-3

substitute for x

3(2y/5-3)+8y=37

6y/5-9+8y=37

add 9 to each side

6y/5+8y=46

subtract 8y from both sides

6y/5=46-8y

multiply both sides by 5

6y=5(46-8y)

6y=230-40y

46y=230

y=5

substitute for y

5x-2(5)=-15

5x-10=-15

5x=-5

x=-1

B, x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the vertices of the image, and preimage of this right isosceles triangle, we can find the line of reflection by definitively understanding how reflections work. Given the preimage contains the points A(-1,1), B(1,-1), and C(-3,-1). And that the image contains the points A'(5,1), B'(3,-1), C'(7,-1). We can differentiate the corresponding points and apply them to the rules of a reflection. if figure Z is reflected over x = n,

than Z'(x,y) = Z(-x+2n,y). Logically, you can see that this pattern resembles all three coordinates for the transformation. i.e A'(5,1) = A(--1+2n,1) ; (1+2n,1) = (5,1) ; 1 + 2n = 5, 2n = 4, n = 2

we can prove this by using another point:

B'(3,-1) = (-1+2n,-1) = (-1 + 4, -1) = (3,-1)

Hopefully you understand,

X^2 -9X = 0. Factor and use the Zero property to solve
Veseljchak [2.6K]
The first step of factoring is to try to factor out a common factor.
The terms x^2 and -9x have the factor x in common.
Factor out x from both terms.

x^2 - 9x = 0

x(x - 9) = 0

Now you have a product of fully factored terms equaling zero, so you can apply the zero product property to solve.

x = 0   or   x - 9 = 0

x = 0   or   x = 9

Answer: x = 0 or x = 9

What type of triangle is formed by joining the points D(7, 3), E(8, 1), and F(4, -1)?
attashe74 [19]
D(7,3) \\&#10;E(8,1) \\&#10;F(4,-1)

The lengths of the sides of the triangle:
\overline{DE}=\sqrt{(8-7)^2+(1-3)^2}=\sqrt{1^2+(-2)^2}=\sqrt{1+4}=\sqrt{5} \\ \\&#10;\overline{DF}=\sqrt{(4-7)^2+(-1-3)^2}=\sqrt{(-3)^2+(-4)^2}=\sqrt{9+16}=\sqrt{25}=5 \\ \\&#10;\overline{EF}=\sqrt{(4-8)^2+(-1-1)^2}=\sqrt{(-4)^2+(-2)^2}=\sqrt{16+4}=\sqrt{20}= \\&#10;=\sqrt{4 \times 5}=2\sqrt{5}

No sides are equal to each other, so it's a scalene triangle.

Check if the sides satisfy the Pythagorean theorem:
(\sqrt{5})^2 + (2\sqrt{5})^2=5^2 \\&#10;5+20=25 \\&#10;25=25 \\&#10;true
They do, so it's a right triangle.

The triangle is a right scalene triangle.
