Answer:
-5=x
Step-by-step explanation:
3=-2 (x+2)
-2 (x+2) = -2x-4
3=-2x-4
-4 from 3 and -4
= -7=-2x
do the opposite "-2 to +2 "
=-5=x

|First of all, the triangles are equal by ASA the way the diagram has been marked.
B and E are both right angles.
Side BC = Side DE
<BCA =< EDA
So triangle BCA = triangle EDA
Now to the letters.
x = y - 1 Add 1 to both sides.
x + 1 = y (1)
3x - 2 = 2y + 1 Subtract 1 from both sides.
3x -2 - 1 = 2y
3x - 3 = 2y Divide by 2
3x/2 - 3/2 = 2y/2
1.5x - 1.5 = y (2)
Step One
Since (1) and (2) both have y isolated on their respective right sides, they can be equated.
1.5x - 1.5 = x + 1 Take an x from both sides.
0.5x - 1.5 = x - x + 1
0.5x - 1.5 = 1 Add 1.5 to both sides.
0.5x = 1 + 1.5
0.5x = 2.5 Divide 0.5 on both sides.
0.5x/0.5 = 2.5/0.5
x = 5
Now we need a y value.
x = y - 1
5 = y - 1 Add 1 to both sides.
5 + 1 = y - 1 + 1
6 = y
So the 2 sides and the 2 angles are equal when
x = 5
y = 6
C Answer <<<<<<
Pairs of angles made by intersecting lines.
ANSWER
The solution is
x=-3,y=-2
EXPLANATION
First equation
3x – 3y = –3
Second Equation:
5x – y = –13
Multiply the second equation by 3 to get:
Third equation:
15x-3y=-39
Subtract the first equation from the third equation:
Divide both sides by 12,
Put x=-3 into the first equation:
Group like terms,
The solution is
x=-3,y=-2
