In triangle rst, angle r > angle s + angle t. which must be true of triangle rst? check all that apply.

possible answers:

1. angle r > 90°. 2. angle s + angle t < 90°
3. angle s = angle t
4. angle r > angle t
5. angle r > angle s
6. angle s > angle t

So the first thing we do is to multiply the top equation by 3. the reason i want to do this is i notice there will be a 6y on both equations and can possibly add/subtract them. so we get 6y = -3x + 27. adding that and the second equation we get 6x = 27-15 which is 12. divide by 6 and we get 2. ∴ x = 2. substituting 2 into the first equation we get 2y = -2 + 9 which is 7. divide by 2 and we get 7/2. ∴ y = 7/2, x = 2.
