Let's solve this problem step-by-step.
STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:
We will be using simultaneous equations to solve this problem.
The sum of angles on a straight line is 180°.
( R ) and ( 2x + 5 ) are both on the same straight line.
Therefore:
Equation No. 1 -
R + 2x + 5 = 180
R = 180 - 2x - 5
R = 175 - 2x
Vertically opposite angles are equivalent to each other.
( R ) is vertically opposite ( 3x + 15 ).
Therefore:
Equation No. 2 -
R = 3x + 15
Substitute the value of ( R ) from the first equation into the second equation to solve for ( x )
R = 3x + 15
175 - 2x = 3x + 15
- 2x - 3x = 15 - 175
- 5x = - 160
x = - 160 / - 5
x = 160 / 5
x = 32
Next we will substitute the value of ( x ) from the second equation into the first equation to solve for ( R ).
Equation No. 2 -
R = 175 - 2x
R = 175 - 2 ( 32 )
R = 175 - 64
R = 111
FINAL ANSWER:
Therefore, the answer is:
R = 111
x = 32
Hope this helps! :)
Have a lovely day! <3
The second one because for every x value there is one and only one y value. If you plotted the points and graphed it, you would know it is not a function if it doesn't pass the vertical line test. Notice the same x values show up repeatedly in the other ordered pairs with different y values. Only one y value for every x value
First, isolate the variable
X+0=75-5
X+0=70
X=70
Hope I helped!
Good Luck!
