Answer:
x= 81°, z= 99°, y°=68°
Step-by-step explanation:
considering the part of the triangle where 36° , 63° and x° is located as ΔABC.
to find the measure of x we use angle sum property.
We know that the sum of the angles of a triangle is always 180°. Therefore, if we know the two angles of a triangle, and we need to find its third angle, we use the angle sum property. We add the two known angles and subtract their sum from 180° to get the measure of the third angle.
so,
∠A + ∠B +∠C = 180°
36° + 63° + x° = 180°
99° + x° = 180°
x° = 180 - 99
x° = 81°
When two lines intersect each other at a single point, linear pairs of angles are formed. If the angles so formed are adjacent to each other after the intersection of the two lines, the angles are said to be linear. If two angles form a linear pair, the angles are supplementary, whose measures add up to 180°.
x° + z° = 180°
81° + z = 180°
z= 180 - 81
z= 99°
considering the next part of the triangle where 13° , z° and y° is located as ΔACD
to find the measure of y we use angle sum property.
∠A + ∠C + ∠D = 180°
13° + z° + y° = 180°
13°+99°+y°= 180°
112°+ y° = 180°
y°= 180- 112
y° = 68°
You want to eliminate one of the terms (x or y) in one of the equations so you can solve for the other variable. You have to multiply by the opposite number of the coefficient to be able to eliminate the term in the other equation. If the x coefficient is 2, then you have to multiply the entire other equation by -2. If the y coefficient is -5, then you have to multiply the entire other equation by 5.

-4x + 9y= 9
x - 3y= -6
STEP 1:
multiply the bottom equation by 4
4(x- 3y)= 4(-6)
4x - 12y= -24
STEP 2:
add the top equation and the equation from step 2
-4x + 9y= 9
4x - 12y= -24
the x term cancels out
-3y= 15
divide both sides by -3
y= -5
STEP 2:
substitute the y value in either original equation to solve for x
x - 3y= -6
x - 3(-5)= -6
x + 15= -6
subtract 15 from both sides
x= -21
ANSWER: x= -21; y= -5

-7x + y= -19
-2x + 3y= -19
STEP 1:
multiply the top equation by -3 to eliminate the y term and to solve for x
-3(-7x + y)= -3(-19)
21x - 3y= 57
STEP 2:
add the bottom equation and the equation from step 2 to solve for x
-2x + 3y= -19
21x - 3y= 57
the y term cancels out
19x= 38
divide both sides by 19
x= 2
STEP 3:
substitute the x value in step 2 to solve for y; you can use either original equation
-7x + y= -19
-7(2) + y= -19
-14 + y= -19
add 14 to both sides
y= -5
ANSWER: x= 2; y=-5

Answer:
1,823.20
Step-by-step explanation:
I'm smart!
The answer is 110 adult tickets. Let x= student tickets and y= adult tickets.
We know that the total tickets sold was 440. That means the total number of student tickets (x) plus the total number of adult tickets (y) equaled 440. Putting it into an equation, you get:
x+y=440
Now we know that the amount of student tickets is equal to three times as many adult tickets, so in an equation that is seen as:
x=3y
In order to solve for one variable, plug in 3y for the x value of the first equation to get:
y+3y=440
then solve:
4y=440
y= 440/4
y=110
The total number of adult tickets sold was 110 tickets.
(This method used in math is technically called "Solving Systems of Equations", just fyi).
