At football practice on monday, brandon threw a football into the target 5 times. the next monday, he trippled the number of targets he hit. on the following monday, he hits doubled that of the week before. write and evaluate a numerical expression to find how many times he hit the target during those three weeks

sorry just doing it to get points

x = 17

step-by-step explanation:

in the given figure, two triangles are inscribed in a circle where ∠bae ≅ ∠dae which makes the side be and de equal so we can write it as:

3x - 24 = x + 10

solving this equation for x to get:

3x - x = 10 + 24

2x = 34

x = 34/2

x = 17

therefore, the value of x = 17.

{x = -1/2 ,   y = -1

step-by-step explanation:

solve the following system:

{2 x + y = -2

{10 x - 3 y = -2

in the first equation, look to solve for y:

{2 x + y = -2

{10 x - 3 y = -2

subtract 2 x from both sides:

{y = -2 x - 2

{10 x - 3 y = -2

substitute y = -2 x - 2 into the second equation:

{y = -2 x - 2

{10 x - 3 (-2 x - 2) = -2

10 x - 3 (-2 x - 2) = (6 x + 6) + 10 x = 16 x + 6:

{y = -2 x - 2

{16 x + 6 = -2

in the second equation, look to solve for x:

{y = -2 x - 2

{16 x + 6 = -2

subtract 6 from both sides:

{y = -2 x - 2

{16 x = -8

divide both sides by 16:

{y = -2 x - 2

{x = -1/2

substitute x = -1/2 into the first equation:

{y = -1

{x = -1/2
