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!

A brace for a shelf has the shape of a right triangle. Its hypotenuse is 10 inches long and the two legs are equal in length. Ho
vagabundo [1.1K]
This is a classic example of a 45-45-90 triangle: it's a right triangle (one angle of 90) & two other sides of the same length, which means two angles of the same length (and 45 is the only number that will work). With a 45-45-90 triangle, the lengths of the legs are easy to determine:
45-45-90
1-1-sqrt2
Where the hypotenuse corresponds to sqrt2.
Now, your hypotenuse is 10.
To figure out what each leg is, divide 10/sqrt2 (because sqrt2/sqrt2 = 1, which is a leg length in the explanation above).
Problem: you can't divide by radicals. So, we'll have to rationalize the denominator:
(10•sqrt2)/(sqrt2•sqrt2)
This can be rewritten:
10sqrt2/sqrt(2•2)
=10sqrt2/sqrt4
=10sqrt2/2
=5sqrt2 Hope this helps!!

Ed is 7 years older then ted Ed's age is also 3/2 times ted's age how old are ed and ted ​
Rasek [7]

Answer:

if i'm right ted is 14 and ed is 21

Step-by-step explanation:

if ed is 7 years older than ted and is 3/2 times eds age, than we have to find out how much dose 2 represent in the equation 3/2 so we know that ed is seven years older than ted. so that means that if the equation 3/2 was 1/2, 1 would represent 7 years. (i hope your following me) so if 1 represents 7 than 2 must represent 14 and that would be the age of ted because in the equation 3/2 the 2 would represent teds age. and if the 2 represents teds age than 3 would be eds age. so 7 x 3 = 21.  (this is my first time answering a question so sorry if i'm confusing)
