Question

Darnelle drew this figure and the accompanying equations.

Answer 1

180=w+x+y and 180=y+z so

w+x+y=z+y so subtract y from both sides

w+x=z

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct option is D  w + x = z

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided equations.

$y + z = 180$

Solve the equation for y.

$y= 180-z$

Now substitute the vlaue of y in $w + x + y = 180$

$w + x + 180-z = 180$

Subtract 180 from both sides.

$w + x + 180-180-z = 180-180$

$w + x -z = 0$

Add z to both sides.

$w + x -z+z = z$

$w + x= z$

Hence, the correct option is D  w + x = z
