Answer:
Q1. x= 18, y=59
Q2. m∠J= 56°
Step-by-step explanation:
Q1. (3x +5)°= y° (base ∠s of isos. △)
y= 3x +5 -----(1)
(3x +5)° +y° +(4x -10)°= 180° (∠ sum of △)
3x +5 +y +4x -10= 180
7x +y -5= 180
7x +y= 180 +5
7x +y= 185 -----(2)
Substitute (1) into (2):
7x +3x +5= 185
10x= 185 -5
10x= 180
x= 180 ÷10
x= 18
Substitute x= 18 into (1):
y= 3(18) +5
y= 59
Q2. (5x -13)°= (3x +17)° (base ∠s of isos. △)
5x -13= 3x +17
5x -3x= 17 +13
2x= 30
x= 30 ÷2
x= 15
∠LKJ
= 3(15) +17
= 62°
∠KLJ= 62° (base ∠s of isos. △)
m∠J
= 180° -62° -62° (∠ sum of △JKL)
= 56°
Answer:
Sam: $30; Bethan: $24
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the ratio is 5:4 Sam has to pay 5/9 of the total which is 54. To find how much he pays set up the equation like this.

Cross Multiply
54(5)=9x
270=9x
Divide by 9
30=x
So Sam pays $30. To find out how much Bethan pays simply subtract 30 from 54
54-30=24
So Bethan pays $24
