Answer:

x=10

y=-3

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + 5y= 15...eqn. 1

2x + 4y= 8...eqn. 2

multiply eqn. 1 by 2 and eqn. 2 by 3

6x + 10y = 30...eqn. 3

6x + 12y = 24...eqn. 4

0 - 2y = 6

divide both sides by the coefficient of y which is -2

- 2y = 6

- 2 -2

y= -3

Put y= -3 into eqn. 1

3x + 5(-3) = 15

3x - 15 = 15

3x =15 + 15

3x = 30

x = 10

Therefore X= 10 and Y= -3

Please help badly I cannot answer

Ne4ueva [31]

So, you asked 356 folks if they like drawing, 89 say they do.

now, if we take 356 as the 100%, what is 89 off of it in percentage?

$\bf \begin{array}{ccll}
amount&\%\\
\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\
356&100\\
89&x
\end{array}\implies \cfrac{356}{89}=\cfrac{100}{x}\implies x=\cfrac{89\cdot 100}{356}$

What is the measure of BC? In degree please

notka56 [123]

I believe it would be 114 degrees.

With the segments AC and BC being equal then the degrees of AC and BC would be equal. 360 degrees minus 132 equals 228 degrees. 228/2 equals 114 degrees.

Hope this helps.
