Answer:
x = -2, y = -4, or (-2, -4).
Step-by-step explanation:
5x + y = -14
5x - 3y = 2
If we look at the first equation, we can see that y can be easily isolated.
5x + y = -14
Subtract 5x from both sides.
y = -5x - 14
Now we have a variable that we can plug into the second equation.
5x - 3y = 2
5x - 3(-5x - 14) = 2
Distribute the -3 across each term in the parentheses.
5x + 15x + 42 = 2
Combine like terms.
20x + 42 = 2
Subtract 42 from both sides.
20x = -40
Divide both sides by 20 to isolate x.
x = -2
Plug in x = -2 back into one of the equations to find y.
y = -5x - 14
y = -5(-2) - 14
Multiply.
y = 10 - 14
Subtract.
y = -4
Our solution is x = -2, y = -4, or (-2, -4).
Check your answer by plugging both values into one of the equations.
5x - 3y = 2
5(-2) - 3(-4) = 2
-10 + 12 = 2
2 = 2
Your answer is correct.
Hope this helps!
Answer:
m∠6 = 90°
Step-by-step explanation:
∠1 and ∠2 are a linear pair. This means they are supplementary, or their measures sum to 180°. To find m∠2, we subtract m∠1 from 180:
180-140 = 40°
The measure of ∠2 is 40°.
The sum of the measures of the angles in a triangle is 180°. We have ∠2 and ∠3; to find the measure of ∠6, we subtract these two from 180:
180-(40+50) = 180-90 = 90°
Both A and B would be correct to use. You can use an example of your own to check it yourself. For example I did 10 emails all together and kept trying with the equations.
