There are 3 methods to solve this. elimination substitution and graphing but i am going to use the elimination method.
x+2y=17
<u> x-y =2
</u> 0+3y =15 ( subtracted down to eliminate the x)( x-x=0, 2y-(-y)=3y, and 17-2=15)
3y=15 (divide both sides by 3 to solve for y)
y=5
<u>substitute the y=5 in any of the above equations and solve for x
ie... ( </u>meaning where you find y in the equation, u replace it with a 5)
it will be easier to solve for x in (x-y=2) so i will use that one.
x-(5)=2 ( add 5 on both sides to solve for x)
x=7
Answer:
3/5
Step-by-step explanation:
Reduced fraction:

5
Therefore, 75/125 simplified to lowest terms is 3/5.
Answer:
<u><em></em></u>
- <u><em>The length of the image of the segment GH would be 5 units.</em></u>
Explanation:
You can use the <em>center of dilation</em> as your origin of coordintes.
Thus, the <em>point H</em> would have coordinates (0,0) and the <em>point G</em> (-1,0).
A <em>dilation</em> multiplies the coordinates by the <em>scale factor</em>. Hence:
- H = (0,0) → H' = 5 × (0,0) = (0,0)
- G = (-1,0) → G] = 5 × (-1, 0) = (-5, 0)
Thus, the length of the image of segment GH would be the distance from 0 to -5 in a number line, which is 5.
3:1 should be the answer.
