2x + y = 5

x − 2y = 10

y = 5 − 2x

x − 2(5 − 2x) = 10

x − 10 + 4x = 10

5x − 10 = 10

add 10 to each side

5x-10+10 = 10 + 10

5x=20

5x = 0 this is the error

He needs to add 10 to each side

Write the equation 12 − y = 2x − 5 in slope-intercept form. What are the slope and y-intercept? A. y=2x−17,m=2, y-intercept (0,−

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

12-y=2x-5

+5 +5 ( add 5 to both sides)

17-y=2x

-17 -17 (Subtract 17 to get y by itself)

-y=2x-17

divide by -1 because y cant be negative

y=-2x+17

m=-2 and y-intercept= 17

I hope thats right :)

I honestly don't know how I got these answers and I have a test over it coming soon. Please explain how to find the measure of t

Okay so a couple of things to know to best solve this problem
1) all angles in a triangle add to 180
2) a straight line the angles above it equal 180 and the angles below it add to 180
3) vertical angles are equal (vertical angles are angles that make an X the opposite angles are called vertical angles)
