The answer is D I think
Given the 2 equations
2x + 5y = 21 → (1)
x + y = 3 → (2)
Rearrange (2) expressing y in terms of x, by subtracting x from both sides
y = 3 - x ← Substitute into (1)
2x + 5(3 - x) = 21 ← distribute and simplify left side
2x + 15 - 5x = 21
- 3x + 15 = 21 ( subtract 15 from both sides )
- 3x = 6 ( divide both sides by - 3 x = - 2 → D
X=-2

Which of the following sets is NOT closed under addition.
Veronika [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The odd numbers.

Suppose you have 31 and 27 when you add these two together, you get 58 which is not an odd number.

If you need a more mathematical proof, you could do it this way.

2x+1

2x is even. Anything multiplied by 2 is even. When you add 1 you get an odd number

So continue on

2y + 1 is the other number.

2x + 1 + 2y + 1 = 2(x + y) + 2

2 (x + y ) is even. When you add 2 to it, nothing changes. The result is still even.

Y = mx + b

m = -2, b = 4

Solve the inequality for x<br><br> 20x &gt; 8(4x - 5) - 20
UNO [17]
Hi there! I can help you with this! First, let's combine like terms and do everything for the right side of the problem. When you do the distributive property, you get 32x - 40. Combine like terms and you'll get 32x - 60. Now, the inequality is 20x = 32x - 60. First, let's subtract 32x from both sides to get the integer by itself. When you do that, you get -12x = -60. Now, divide each side by -12 to isolate the "x". -60/-12 is 5. Let's plug it in. 20 * 5 is 100. 32 * 5 is 160. 160 - 60 is 100. 100 = 100. There. x = 5.

Summing all the ingredients to get the total sample size, we applied the formula for obtaining the probability which is

Pr(3) = 0.5

<h3>Probability</h3>

Given Data

Sample Space

  • Coffee
  • Nutmeg
  • Vanilla
  • Cinnamon
  • Sea salt
  • Ginger

Total Sample size = 6

Probability of identifying 3 ingredient used is

Pr(3) = 3/6

Pr(3) = 1/2

Hence the Probability is 0.5

Find the value of x please!! ASAP
cricket20 [7]

Answer:

x = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

By looking at the picture, I can tell the angle of the 3x is also 30 degrees.

This means 3x = 30.

When you solve for x by dividing each side by 3, you result with the answer of x = 10.

To check you work, plug in 10 for x to recieve 30 degrees again.
