x = one angle

y = other angle

y = 15+x

complements add to 90 degrees

x+y = 90

substitute for y (15+x)

x + 15+x = 90

combine like terms

2x+ 15 = 90

subtract 15 from each side

2x = 75

divide  each side by 2

x = 75/2

x = 37.5

y = x+15

y = 37.5 + 15

y =52.5

The two angles are 37.5 and 52.5

Students are using the graph to find the solution to the system y=3 and y=-2x+1. Anthony says the solution to the system is (3,-
timurjin [86]

Answer: April is correct.

Step-by-step explanation: According to the methods used in systems of equations, if we are to solve this system by setting up the equations

(3 = -2x + 1), we see that the solution is x = -1. If you substitute this x-value back into the original equation, y = -2x + 1, we get the answer y = 3 and thus, receiving the solution to the system (-1,3). Anthony is wrong because the graph includes an extra line at x = 3, throwing off his answers.

Which ordered pair is the solution to the following system of equations?
kumpel [21]

Answer:

(1,-3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Make the two equations equal to each other:

-3x=x-4

** bc they both are equal to y and they have the same ordered pair that make each of the equations true

Then simplify:

-3x=x-4

-3x-x= x-x -4

-4x=-4

x=1

Now you have x, plug it into either of the equations to get y:

y=x-4

y=1-4

y=-3

So the ordered pair would be: (1,-3)
