1. Mckayla is using elimination to solve the system below and will first add the equations
together.
5x - 2y = 42
-3x + 2y = -26

point a is the center of the circle that passes through points e, f, and g and the center of the circle that passes through points x, y, and z.

step-by-step explanation:

answer: the proof is mentioned below.

step-by-step explanation:

since, given:   lines bc = ef

prove:   lines ac > ef

          statements                                           reason

1. bc=ef                                           1. given

2. ac= ab+bc                                 2. because b is the point between the  

                                                            line segment ac

3.   ac > bc                                       3. because if a line segment is equal to

                                                          the sum of two line segments then it is

                                                          always greater then each of these

                                                          individual line segments

4. ac > ef                                         4. by equality property.
