System of equations by substitution how do this? y= x+2 y= -4x+7

1 answer:

8 0

Equations are given,
y= x+2

y= -4x+7

As you can see both the expressions, x+2 and -4x+7 are equal to "y". That means they are equal to each other too.

So let's equal them and solve it.

 $x+2=-4x+7\\ \\ x+2+4x=7\\ \\ x+4x+2=7\\ \\ 5x+2=7\\ \\ 5x=7-2\\ \\ 5x=5\\ \\ x=\frac { 5 }{ 5 } \\ \\ x=1$

Now we have x's value we will plug it in the first equation to find "y".

 $x=1\\ \\ y=x+2\\ \\ y=1+2\\ \\ y=3$

Two non-common sides of adjacent supplementary angles form a _____ angle.

Answer:

C. straight

Step-by-step explanation:

A Linear Pair is two adjacent angles whose non-common sides form opposite rays.

If two angles form a linear pair, the angles are supplementary.

A linear pair forms a straight angle which contains 180º, so you have 2 angles whose measures add to 180, which means they are supplementary.

In the figure given in attachment, AB and BC are two non common sides of ∠ABD and ∠DBC.

∠1 and ∠2 form a linear pair.

The line through points A, B and C is a straight line.
