Answer:

Vertical angles are always congruent.

Step-by-step explanation:

Vertical angles are always congruent, but congruent angles do not have to be vertical. Any two angles with the same angle measurement are considered congruent by definition.

Imagine (or draw):

an X forming 2 pairs of vertical angles. ∠1 is to the left, ∠2 is on top, ∠3 is to the right, and ∠4 is on the bottom. Vertical angles are always congruent because ∠1 and ∠2 are supplementary, meaning that their measures add to 180 degrees. The measures of ∠2 and ∠3 also add to 180 degrees. This means that:

m∠1+m∠2=180 and m∠2+m∠3=180.

Using the Transitive Property, it becomes m∠1+m∠2=m∠2+m∠3.

If you subtract the measure of ∠2 from both sides,

it becomes m∠1=m∠3

Answer:

We get x=3 and y=21

The ordered pair will be: (3,21)

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to use the substitution method to solve the system of equations.

$y = 10x-9\\y = x + 18$

For substitution method we substitute the value of x or y from one equation to other.

Let:

$y = 10x-9--eq(1)\\y = x + 18--eq(2)$

Putting value of y from equation 2 into equation 1

$y=10x-9\\Put\:y=x+18\\x+18=10x-9\\x-10x=-9-18\\-9x=-27\\x=\frac{-27}{-9}\\x=3$

So, we get value of x=3

Now, for finding value of y, We substitute the value of x

Find value of x from equation 2

$y=x+18\\x=y-18$

Now, putting value of x in equation 1

$y=10x-9\\Put\:x=y-18\\y=10(y-18)-9\\y=10y-180-9\\y-10y=-189\\-9y=-189\\y=\frac{-189}{-9}\\y=21$

So, we get value of y=21

So, We get x=3 and y=21

The ordered pair will be: (3,21)

Nikitich [7]

Answer:

$20000 and $14560

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to get the total tax paid by Malliki Williams

To get that, we have to multiply her income tax (28%) by total royalties ($48000)

28% of $48000 = $13440

Balance after tax = $48000 - $13440

Balance = $34560

She invested some of the balance ($34560) at the rate of

3.25% ---- First investment

1.75% --- Second investment

Assume her first investment is x dollars

Definitely, her second investment would be $34560 - x

3.25% of x + 1.75% (34560 - x ) = 904.8

0.0325x + 0.0175(34560-x) = 904.8 ----- Open the bracket

0.0325x + 604.8x - 0.0175x = 904.8 ------ Collect like terms

0.0325x -0.0175x =904.8 - 604.8

0.015x = 300 ------ Divide both sides by 0.015

x = 300/0.015

x = 20000

Remember that x represents her first investment

Her second investment is $34560 - $20000 =$14560
