Answer:

(17,3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation 1.

x=5y+2

Equation 2.

x-4y=5

To solve with substitution, it looks like the x-variable in the first equation is already isolated. So, plug the first equation into the x-variable in the second equation.

x-4y=5

(5y+2)-4y=5

y+2=5

y=3

Now that we found y, plug y into one of the equations to solve for x.

x=5y+2

x=5(3)+2

x=15+2

x=17

Sergio039 [100]

We have been given that Maria put trim around a banner that is the shape of a triangle. Each side is 21 inches long.

The amount of trim will be equal to perimeter of triangle. The perimeter of given triangle will be 3 times each side length that is $3\times 21=63$ inches.

Now we need to convert 63 inches into feet.

12 inches = 1 feet

63 inches = $\frac{63}{12}$ feet = 5.25 feet.

We are also told that Maria has $\frac{3}{4}$ foot of trim left, so total length of trim would be trim used plus trim left that is $5.25+\frac{3}{4}=5.25+0.75=6$ feet.

Since we need to find length of trim in yards, so we will convert 6 feet into yards.

3 feet = 1 yard

6 feet = $\frac{6}{3}$ yards = 2 yards

Therefore, the length of the trim was 2 yards.

Can a triangle have side lengths 3,13, and 7

Elan Coil [88]

No. This is because the two smaller lengths must be greater than the largest length (7+3=10) this is less than 13 meaning the triangle won’t work

Will mark brainly nest if you know the answer and explanation <br> Btw I'm a weeb you?

I think... J because
x + 1 / x^3 - x
Factor out x from the expression
x + 1 / xx(x^2 - 1)
Use a^2 - b^2 = (a - b)(a + b) to factor the expression
x + 1 / x • (x - 1) • (x + 1)
Reduce the fraction with x+ 1
1 / x • (x - 1)
Distribute x through the parentheses
1 / x^2 - x
