Answer:

HB = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

In triangle GHJ, points A, B, C are mid points of the sides GH, HJ, GJ respectively.

Therefore by Mid-segment Theorem.

$AC = \frac{1}{2} HJ \\ \\ 3y - 5 = \frac{1}{2} (4y + 2) \\ \\ 3y - 5 = \frac{1}{2} \times 2 (2y + 1) \\ \\ 3y - 5 = 2y + 1\\ \\ 3y - 2y = 5 + 1 \\ \\ y = 6 \\ \\ HJ = 4y + 2 \\ \\ HJ = 4 \times 6 + 2 \\ \\ HJ = 24 + 2 \\ \\ HJ = 26 \\ \\ HB= \frac{1}{2} HJ \\ \\ HB= \frac{1}{2} \times 26 \\ \\ \huge \red{ \boxed{ HB= 13}}$

Is the point (4,2) the solution to the system? Why or why not? Explain your reasoning.

VMariaS [17]

Solve the top equation to get on variable on one side
2x-y=6
-y=-2x+6
y=2x-6
then plug in the coordinate for x and y for both equations. if both equations are true then it’s a solution
2=2(2)+6
2=10

4+2=6

so it’s not a solution

Answer:

Option 1 - $\frac{At}{60}=g$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The goals against average (A) for a professional hockey goalie is determined using the formula $A=60(\frac{g}{t} )$ . In the formula, g represents the number of goals scored against the goalie and t represents the time played, in minutes.
