Answer:

x=6

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the perimeter of the triangle you need to add up all the sides, so if all the sides are 2x-3 the equation will look like this;

2x-3+2x-3+2x-3=27

which when combining like terms will leave it to be;

6x-9=27

Than move all the factors besides x over to the right side;

6x-9+9=27+9

6x = 36

6x/6 = 36/6

x = 6

so your answer will be x=6

Find the solution to the following system using substitution or elimination: y = 3x + 2 y = -2x - 8 O A. (-5,-) OB. (-2,-4) O C.
mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

B. (-2,-4)

Explanation

Given equations:

   y = 3x + 2

   y = -2x - 8

Solving both equations will yield the values of x and y;

Solution:

   y = 3x + 2    ----- (i)

   y = -2x - 8   ------ (ii)

Using substitution method, input equation i, into ii

    3x + 2 = -2x - 8

Collect like terms and solve;

     3x + 2x = -8 -2

         5x  = -10

            x  = -2

Then put x = -2 into i, to find y

      y = (-2 x 3) + 2

       y = -6 + 2 = -4

So, the solution of the equation is B. (-2,-4)

Let ∠X and ∠Y be complementary. If sin(X) =
Lena [83]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

sin(Y) = 4/5

<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

The sine of one of a pair of complementary angles is equal to the cosine of the other. Given that ∠X and ∠Y are complementary, sin(Y) = cos(X) = 4/5.

_____

You can figure this from SOH CAH TOA, the mnemonic that reminds you of the definitions of the trig functions. The adjacent leg for one of the acute angles in the right triangle is the opposite leg for the other angle.

... Sin = Opposite/Hypotenuse

... Cos = Adjacent/Hypotenuse
