Your statement that angle C and angle D adding to 180 degrees isn't always true. What is always true is that angle A and angle C add to 180 degrees.

Rule: The opposite angles of an inscribed quadrilateral are supplementary (add to 180 degrees)

So,
(angle A) + (angle C) = 180
(x+2) + (x-2) = 180
x+2+x-2 = 180
2x = 180
2x/2 = 180/2
x = 90

Once you know x, you can find the angles
measure of angle A = x+2
measure of angle A = 90+2
measure of angle A = 92 degrees

measure of angle C = x-2
measure of angle C = 90-2 
measure of angle C = 88 degrees

Note how A+C = 92+88 = 180

measure of angle D = x-10
measure of angle D = 90-10
measure of angle D = 80 degrees

measure of angle B = 360-A-C-D ... see note below
measure of angle B = 360-92-88-80
measure of angle B = 100 degrees

Note: for any quadrilateral, the four angles add to 360 degrees. So A+B+C+D = 360. We can solve for B to get B = 360-A-C-D

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of opposite interior angles

13b - 48 = (9b - 47) + (b + 44)

Add the like terms

13b - 48 = 10b - 3

Add 48 to both the sides

13b - 48 +48 = 10b - 3 +48

13b = 10b + 45

Subtract 10b from both sides

13b - 10b = 10b + 45 - 10b

3b = 45

Divide both sides by 3

3b/3 = 45/3

b = 15

Answer:

2x - 7y = -34.

Step-by-step explanation:

As the line we want is perpendicular to y= -7/2 x + 9 it's slope will be

-1 /(-7/2) = 2/7.

Now we find the point of intersection ofn the 2 given  lines:

x    + y = 10

3x - 4y = -12

Multiply the first equation by -3:

-3x - 3y = -30

Now add this last equation to the second one:

-7y =  -42

y = 6

Plug y = 6 into the first equation:

x + 6 = 10

x = 4.

So the point of intersection is (4, 6) and the equation we want passes through this, so using the point-slope form of  straight line we have:

y - 6 = 2/7(x - 4)

7y - 42 = 2(x - 4)

7y - 42 = 2x - 8

2x - 7y = -42 + 8

2x - 7y = -34
