Answer:
x=8
Step-by-step explanation:
Triangle DCE is similar to EGF
CE/EF=DE/EG
Substitute
(8x-1)/21=(6x+3)/17
Cross multiply
(8x−1)*(17)=(6x+3)*(21)
136x−17=126x+63
Subtract 126x from both sides
10x−17=63
Add 17 to both sides.
10x−17+17=63+17
10x=80
Divide both sides by 10.
x=8
2/5(x - 1) < 3/5(1 + x)
To find the solution, we can use the distributive property to simplify.
2/5x - 2/5 < 3/5 + 3/5x
Multiply all terms by 5.
2x - 2 < 3 + 3x
Subtract 2x from both sides.
-2 < 3 + x
Subtract 3 from both sides.
-5 < x
<h3><u>The value of x is greater than the value of -5.</u></h3>

Answer: B) no solutions</h3>
===========================================================
Explanation:
Let's isolate the variable y in the first equation
-2x - y = 1
-2x = 1 + y
1+y = -2x
y = -2x-1
Then we'll plug this into the second equation
-4x - 2y = -1
-4x - 2(-2x-1) = -1
-4x + 4x + 2 = -1
0x + 2 = -1
0 + 2 = -1
2 = -1
We run into a contradiction. No matter what x value we pick, the last equation will never be true. This leads to a domino effect to cause the first set of original equations to never be true when considered as a system.
Therefore, this system is inconsistent. There are no solutions. These two lines graph out parallel lines that never intersect.
