Find the value of x.

Sonbull [250]

Answer:

75° = x°

Step-by-step explanation:

there are 4 right angles

so with the line being linear, the angle on each side is 15°. so you take

90° (right angle) - 15° (the inside angle) = 75°. or the outside angle

do 75 + 15 to check

2x+3y=11<br> Solve for x and y

irga5000 [103]

To solve this equation you have to isolate one variable, first we will solving for x, then for y.

Solving for x

$2x+3y=11$

$2x=11-3y$

$\boxed{\boxed{x=\frac{11}{2}-\frac{3}{2}*y}}$

Solving for y

$2x+3y=11$

$3y=11-2x$

$\boxed{\boxed{y=\frac{11}{3}-\frac{2}{3}*x}}$

Alex walked 1 mile in 15 minutes. Sally walked 3,520 yards in 24 minutes. In miles per hour, how much faster did Sally walk than

Mrac [35]

First we need to convert yard to miles

3520yards÷1760yards/mile=2 miles

From there we know:
Alex walked 1 mile for 15 mins and Sally walked 2mile in 24 mins

We need to convert these mileages to miles per hour

1mile/15mins*60mins/hour=4miles /hour
2mile/24mins*60mins/hour=5miles per hour

Alex walks at 4 miles per hour and Sally at 5 miles per hour

Sally walks 1 mile per hour faster than Alex
