y= mx+b
(16, -7) = (x,y)
2(16) - 3y = 12
32 - 3y = 12
32 - 12 = 3y
20/3 = y
6.6 = y
2x-3(-7) = 12
2x+21 = 12
2x = 12 - 21
x = -9/2
Insert the values into y = mx + b
solve for m and then solve for b
The answer to this is not possible because sss would be just one angle and they want it to form a congruent triangle
Let
x-------> the first number
y------> the second number
we know that


equation 

equation 
substitute equation 1 in equation 2

using a graph tool-----> to resolve the second order equation
see the attached figure
the solution is

6a-2(a-1)
6a-2a-2
4a-2
I think it is 4a-2
Answer:
(8+9) 3 - 1 = 50
Step-by-step explanation:
8 + 9 = 17
17 x 3 = 51
51 - 1 = 50
