I would say B, but don't quote me on it
Hey there!
The vertical angles in the diagram shown are 2 and 3, and 1 and 4, because they are formed by 2 intersecting lines and are across from eachother.
Hope it helps and have a good day!
Answer:
boys + girls = 45 -------(1)
There boys 17 more than girls, boys = girls + 17 ----------(2)
substitute (2) in (1)
girls + 17 + girls = 45
2 x girls + 17 = 45
2 x girls = 45 - 17
2 x girls = 28
girls = 14
substitute in (2): boys = girls + 17 = 14 + 17 = 31
option D
Answer. 17<18
The sum of 3x + 14 equals 17x.
The difference between 20 - 2x equals 18x.
Therefore the equation is not equal to each other.
