Answer:

x= 4, y= -1

Step-by-step explanation:

3x -5y= 17 -----(1)

y= x -5 -----(2)

Substitute (2) into (1):

3x -5(x -5)= 17

Expand:

3x -5x +25= 17

-2x= 17 -25

-2x= -8

x= -8 ÷(-2)

x= 4

Substitute x= 4 into (2):

y= 4 -5

y= -1

Answer:

y= -1

x= 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Plug in for y

3x - 5(x-5) = 17     Use the distributive property

3x - 5x + 25 = 17      Combine like terms

-2x + 25 = 17        Subtract  25 from both sides

-2x = -8         Divide by -2 on both sides

x = 4          Plug in for x

y = (4) - 5       Solve for y

y = -1

I hope this helps and please mark me as brainliest!

3 x $0.50 = $1.50

$15.00 + $1.50 = $16.50

$16.50 - $2.00 = $14.50

A radio station is going to construct a 5-foot tower on top of a building. the tower will be supported by three cables, each att
KonstantinChe [14]
You need to use Pythagoras’ Theorem. 
A² + B² = c² and c is the hypotenuse of the right angled triangle.

The height of the tower (5 feet) is A and the distance from the end of the cable and the base of the tower (12 feet) is B. The length of ONE cable is c. So:

A² + B² = c²
5² + 12² = c²
25 + 144 = c²
169 = c²
13 = c. This is the length of one cable.

3 x 13 = 39 therefore the total length of the cables is 39 feet.

Plot the x-intercept(s), y-intercept, vertex, and axis of symmetry for the function below.
telo118 [61]
<span>g(x) = x^2 + 4x + 3

y-intercept:  let x=0.  Then y=3.  y-intercept is (0,3).

roots:  set g(x) = 0 and solve for x.  x=-1 and x=-3.

                                                                                       -4
axis of symmetry:  find x = -b / (2a), which here is x = ----- = -2
