Answer:

3

Explanation:

Apply Multiplicative Distribution Law:

{x + y =9

{8x + 24y = 120

Reduce the greatest common factor on both sides of the equation.

{x + y = 9

{x + 3y = 15

Subtract the two equations: x + y - (x +3y) = 9 - 15

Remove paranthesis: x + y - x - 3y = 9 - 15

Cancel the unknown variables: y - 3y = 9 - 15

Combine like terms: -2y=9 - 15

Calculate the sum or difference: -2y = -6

Reduce the greatest common factor on both sides of the equation: y =3

Substitute one unknown quantity into the elimination: x + 3 = 9

Rearrange unknown terms to the left side of the equation: x = 9 - 3

Calculate the sum or difference: x = 6

Write the solution set of equations: {x = 6

                                                           {y = 3

Substitute: 6 - 3

Calculate the sum or difference: 3

Answer: 3

A. jgb=jb+Eh/2
35+45=80/2=40 JGB =40°
B. since it is a line HGJ =180-40
HGJ= 140°
C. tangents to circles have equal lengths if they intercept the way gd and gf do eachother
set the lengths equal to themselves
4x+5=6x-8
-4x both sides
5=2x-8
+8 both sides
13=2x
÷2 both sides
x=13/2 or 6.5
Plug in
4 (6.5)+5=
26+5=31ft
