Answer:
x = 10 , y = 15
Step-by-step explanation:
8x - 10 and 7x are alternate angles and are congruent , then
8x - 10 = 7x ( subtract 7x from both sides )
x - 10 = 0 ( add 10 to both sides )
x = 10
Then
8x - 10 = 8(10) - 10 = 80 - 10 = 70
6y + 20 and 8x - 10 are same- side interior angles and sum to 180°, that is
6y + 20 + 70 = 180
6y + 90 = 180 ( subtract 90 from both sides )
6y = 90 ( divide both sides by 6 )
y = 15
You need to factor the numerator and denominator...
(2x^2+4x-2x-4)/(2x^2-2x-2x+2)
(2x(x+2)-2(x+2))/(2x(x-1)-2(x-1))
((2x-2)(x+2))/((2x-2)(x-1)) so the (2x-2)s cancel out leaving
(x+2)/(x-1)
1 gallon = 16 cups
1 quart = 4 cups
1 pint = 2 cups
Therefore...
Multiply
5 gallons × 16 cups = 80 cups
12 quarts × 4 cups = 48 cups
7 pints × 2 cups = 14 cups
Then...
Addition
80 cups + 48 cups + 14 cups = 142 cups
