3x-7y=2 ; 3x=2+7y x=2x+7y/3
the 2 angles are congruent so...
x+40=3x set the 2 equations equal to each other
40=2x subtract x from both sides
20=x divide by 2
x=20 is the final answer
Have a blessed day!
12. since the straws are 4 inches long and she wants to cut them into 1/2 in you would get eight 1/2 pieces on that one straw but since she has two straws she has sixteen 1/2 pieces so no she does not have enough to cut twenty 1/2 pieces
