Answer:
like, at least 2
Step-by-step explanation:
math hard.
So first, we want to substitute in 15 to all the x variables.
So,
3x - 8y = 5
Becomes
3 * 15 - 8y = 5
Or,
45 - 8y = 5
So here, you can subtract 45 from both sides to move all like terms to one side.
-8y = 5 - 45
And then simplify:
-8y = -40
Then divide both sides by -8
y = 5
Brooke is 8 years old! This is what I did⬇️
5x2=10. (In 5 yrs 10 will add to the sum of their age.
29-10=19. (The sum of their ages right now is 19)
11 + 8 = 19 ( 11 is 3 more than 8 and it equals their ages together)
Brooke:8
Samantha:11
RS => y - 5 = (8 - 5)/(1 - (-1)) (x - (-1))
y - 5 = 3/2 (x + 1) => slope = 3/2
ST => y - 8 = (-2 - 8)/(7 - 1) (x - 1)
y - 8 = -10/6 (x - 1) = -5/3 (x - 1) => slope = -5/3
TU => y - (-2) = (0 - (-2))/(2 - 7) (x - 7)
y + 2 = 2/5(x - 7) => slope = 2/5
UR => y = 5/(-1 - 2) (x - 2)
y = -5/3 (x - 2) => slope = -5/3
The median is the line joining the midpoints of the non-parallel sides.
Midpoint of RS = ((-1 + 1)/2, (5 + 8)/2) = (0, 13/2)
Midpoint of TU = ((7 + 2)/2, -2/2) = (9/2, -1)
Equation of the line joining (0, 13/2) and (9/2, -1) is given by y - 13/2 = (-1 - 13/2)/(9/2) x
y - 13/2 = (-15/2)/(9/2) x
y - 13/2 = -15/9x
18y - 117 = -30x
30x + 18y = 117
