Step-by-step explanation:
solution ? you mean where both lines cross each other ?
these are 2 parallel lines (same slope, but different y-intercept), so they never cross each other.
there is no solution.
formally :
3x - 1 = 3x + 4
-1 = 4
this is wrong. therefore there is no solution.
Answer:
9, 32 and 36
Step-by-step explanation:
The perimeter of a triangle is the sum of all the sides. Since you know the perimeter and the expressions for each of the sides, you can set up an equation to solve for the variable and find the values of the other sides:
one side: '4 times the shortest side' = 4s
shortest side: 's'
third side: '23 more than the shortest side' = s + 23
perimeter = 77
Equation: 4s + s + (s + 23) = 77
Combine like terms: 6s + 23 = 77
Subtract 23 from both sides: 6s + 23 - 23 = 77 - 23 or 6s = 54
Divide by 6: 6s/6 = 54/6 or s = 9
one side: 4s = 4(9) = 36
shortest side: s = 9
third side: s + 23 = 9 + 23 = 32
You can find the value of y when you substitute the x value into the equation.
Since x = 3, the equation becomes:
y = 3 + 5
The answer to question 13 is y = 8
Answer:
23. x = 4; DE = 44
24. x = 25; DS = 28
Step-by-step explanation:
23. Point S is the midpoint of DE, so ...
DS = SE
3x +10 = 6x -2
12 = 3x . . . . . . . . . add 2-3x
4 = x . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 3
Then DS has length ...
DS = 3x +10 = 12 +10 = 22
and DE is twice that length, so ...
DE = 44
__
24. DS is half the length of DE, so is ...
DS = DE/2 = 56/2
DS = 28
Then x can be found from ...
DS = x +3
28 -3 = x = 25 . . . . . substitute value for DS

<em>Comment on problem 24</em>
Sometimes it is easier to work parts of a problem out of sequence. Here, finding DS first makes finding x easier.
