Answer: x = 12, y = 50
Step-by-step explanation: 2y-5 and 95 are vertical angles and vertical angles are always congruent (equal). So, 2y - 5 = 95. 2y = 100. y = 50. Solving for x is slightly more difficult. 3x and 144 are linear pairs and linear pairs are adjacent and equal 180° because a straight line is 180°. So 3x + 144 = 180. 3x = 36. x = 12.
20 people because 500÷25=20 and 72x20 is 1440 and 1440-500=940$
Answer:
-5
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
45−(5+8y−3(y+3))=−3(3y−5)−(5(y−1)−2y+6)
45+−1(5+8y−3(y+3))=−3(3y−5)+−1(5(y−1)−2y+6)(Distribute the Negative Sign)
45+(−1)(5)+−1(8y)+−1(−3(y+3))=−3(3y−5)+−1(5(y−1))+−1(−2y)+(−1)(6)
45+−5+−8y+3y+9=−3(3y−5)+−5y+5+2y+−6
45+−5+−8y+3y+9=(−3)(3y)+(−3)(−5)+−5y+5+2y+−6(Distribute)
45+−5+−8y+3y+9=−9y+15+−5y+5+2y+−6
(−8y+3y)+(45+−5+9)=(−9y+−5y+2y)+(15+5+−6)(Combine Like Terms)
−5y+49=−12y+14
−5y+49=−12y+14
Step 2: Add 12y to both sides.
−5y+49+12y=−12y+14+12y
7y+49=14
Step 3: Subtract 49 from both sides.
7y+49−49=14−49
7y=−35
Step 4: Divide both sides by 7.
7y
