The equations would be:
x=18+3y
x+y=54
(substitute x in the second equation with 18+3y)
18+3y+y=54
(combine like terms and solve for y)
y=9
(plug y into the second equation to find x)
x+9=54
x=45

Answer:

Her first exam score was a 78, her second exam score was a 89, and his third exam score was a 94.

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the formula for the mean: sum of elements / number of elements

Let x represent her first exam score.

Her second exam score can be represented by x + 11, since it was 11 points better than her first.

Her third exam score can be represented by (x + 11) + 5, since it was 5 points better than her second.

Plug in all of these expressions into the mean formula. Plug in 87 as the mean, and plug in 3 as the number of elements (since there are 3 scores):

mean = sum of elements / number of elements

87 =  ( (x) + (x + 11) + (x + 11) + 5 ) / 3

Add like terms and solve for x:

87 = (3x + 27) / 3

261 = 3x + 27

234 = 3x

78 = x

So, her first score was a 78.

Find her second score by adding 11 to this:

78 + 11 = 89

Find her third score by adding 5 to the second score:

89 + 5 = 94

Her first exam score was a 78, her second exam score was a 89, and his third exam score was a 94.

Given: △ABC; AB=BC, m∠BDA = 60°, BD=4 cm, BD ⊥ BA . Find: DC, AC.
vekshin1

Answer:

DC = 10.93 cm ,  AC = 9.8 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

From trigonometry;

⇒ Tan 60 = AB/BD

⇒AB = BD Tan 60 ( where BD = 4 cm )

⇒ AB = 6.93 cm

Also, AB=BC , therefore;

⇒ BC = 6.93 cm

⇒ Cos 60 = BD/AD

⇒ AD = BD/ Cos 60 = 4/Cos 60

⇒ AD = 8 cm

From Pythagoras theorem;

⇒ AC^{2} = AB^{2} + BC^{2} = (6.93)^{2} + (6.93)^{2}

⇒ AC = \sqrt{96.05} = 9.80 cm

⇒ DC = BD + BC = 4 + 6.93

⇒ DC = 10.93 cm

Which of the following is not a correct description of the graph of the function y = -2x - 7?
swat32
The graph of the function contains the points (0,-7), (1,-9), and (3,-1) is incorrect

it contains all the points except the last set...(3,-1)
y = -2x - 7
-1 = -2(3) - 7
-1 = -6-7
-1 = - 13 (incorrect)
