Equation 1)  2x - 2y = 10
Equation 2)  4x - 5y = 17

Multiply ALL of equation 1 by 2.

1)  2(2x - 2y = 10)

Simplify.

1)  4x - 4y = 20
2)  4x - 5y = 17

Subtract equations from one another.

y = 3

Plug in 3 for y in the first equation.

1)  2x - 2y = 10

2x - 2(3) = 10

Simplify.

2x - 6 = 10

Add 6 to both side.s

2x = 16

Divide both sides by 2.

x = 8

------------------------------------
Check your work by plugging in 8 for x, and 3 for y into the original equations.

2x - 2y = 10 & 4x - 5y = 17

1)  2x - 2y = 10

2(8) - 2(3) = 10

Simplify.

16 - 6 = 10

10 = 10 

2)  4x - 5y = 17

4(8) - 5(3) = 17

Simplify.

32 - 15 = 17

17 = 17

Therefore, x = 8, y = 3

Find the measures of two suplametery angles if their measures are in the givin ratio 2:3
geniusboy [140]

Answer:

Let the two supplementary angles be

we know sum of two supplementary angles is 180

2x + 3x = 180

5x = 180

x = 180/5

x = 36

2*36 = 72

3*36 = 108

Therefore the two supplementary angles are 72 and 108
