Answer:

the equation is x + 2x + 2x + 7 = 327

or 5x + 7 = 327

x = 64

Trisha has 135 votes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Jill has x votes.

If Morgan got twice as many votes as Jill, then Morgan has

2 times the number of votes

or 2x

Trisha won the election with 7 more votes than Morgan's, so we add 7 to this amount

2x + 7

So assuming Jill, Morgan, and Trisha are the only three candidates:

then x + 2x + 2x + 7 = 327

Combine like terms

5x + 7 = 327

Subtract 7 from both sides

5x = 320

x = 64

Check answer for x:

64 + 2(64) + 2(64) + 7 = 64 + 128 + 128 + 7 = 327

So Trisha has

2x + 7 = 2(64) + 7 = 128 + 7 = 135 votes

Len [333]

Answer:

A:(-2,-3)

B:(-4.009,1.018) And (-2,-3)

C:x≈0,1.61878812

Step-by-step explanation:

I found the equations

g(x)=e^x+1

p(x)=5/2x+2

f(x)=-2x-7

plugged it in on a graph found the answer to find g(x) all you need to do is know the parent function y=e^2(exponential) and I found where the lines intersect for part A and B and or p(x)=g(x) I did e^x+1=(5/2)x+2

How do I find the image after it’s been rotated 270 degrees about the point (-2,-1)?
White raven [17]

Answer: (-1, 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>It's a counter-clockwise rotation, that means (x, y) changes to (y, -x).</u>

(-2, -1) ⇒ (-1, -(-2)) ⇒ (-1, 2)

<u>If it's a clockwise rotation, then (x, y) will change to (-y, x)</u>

(-2, -1) ⇒ (-(-1), -2) ⇒ (1, -2)

What is the solution <br> 2 – 3y=1<br> x – 2y = 6
slava [35]

Answer: x = - 16

y = - 11

Step-by-step explanation:

The given system of linear equations is expressed as

2x - 3y = 1- - - - - - - - - - - - -1

x - 2y = 6 - - - - - - - - - - - -2

We would eliminate x by multiplying equation 1 by 1 and equation 2 by 2. It becomes

2x - 3y = 1- - - - - - - - - - -3

2x - 4y = 12- - - - - - - - - - - -4

Subtracting equation 4 from equation 3, it becomes

y = - 11

Substituting y = - 11 into equation 2, it becomes

x - 2 × - 11 = 6

x + 22 = 6

Subtracting 22 from the left hand side and the right hand side of the equation, it becomes

x + 22 - 22 = 6 - 22

x = - 16
