Answer:

FG = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

EG = 5x + 7

EF = 5x

FG = 2x - 7

Required

Determine the length of FG

Since, F is on segment EG, then

EG= EF + FG

Substitute values for EG, EF and FG

5x + 7 = 5x + 2x - 7

Collect Like Terms

5x - 5x - 2x = -7 - 7

- 2x = -14

Solve for x

x = -14/-2

x = 7

Substitute 7 for x in FG = 2x - 7

FG = 2 * 7- 7

FG = 14- 7

FG = 7

One way to solve the system is to _____________ a variable.
Ivahew [28]

One way to solve the system is to <u>substitute</u> a variable.

<u>Explanation:</u>

One approach to solve an equation is by substitution of one variable. Right now, a condition for one factor, at that point substitute that arrangement in the other condition, and explain. All value(s) of the variable(s) that fulfills a condition, disparity, arrangement of conditions, or arrangement of imbalances.

The technique for tackling "by substitution" works by settling one of the conditions (you pick which one) for one of the factors (you pick which one), and afterward stopping this go into the other condition, "subbing" for the picked variable and fathoming for the other. At that point you back-explain for the principal variable.

nikitadnepr [17]

Answer: Total amount the stadium would clear for all of these events combined is $1750000

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of major recording acts are able to play at the stadium = 10

Average profit margin for a concert = $175000

We need to find the amount that the stadium clear for all of these events combined

As we know the formula for "Average"

Average=\frac{\text{ Total sum}}{\text{ Number of recording acts }}\\\\175000=\frac{\text{total sum}}{10}\\\\175000\times 10=Total\ sum\\\\\$1750000=Total\ sum

Hence, total amount the stadium would clear for all of these events combined is $1750000.
