y = 8 -2x

x + 2 (8 - 2x) = 1

x + 16 - 4x = 1

x - 4x = -15

-3x = -15

x = 5

If x = 5, then we can substitute in...

5 + 2y = 1

2y = -4

y = -2

Now let us check that by substituting those values in to the equation

2x + y = 8

2 (5) + (-2) = 8

That is correct so we have the right values for x and y/

Answer:

See below ~

Step-by-step explanation:

⇒ 65 = 65 + y (alternate exterior angles)

⇒ y = 0

⇒ 4(12x + 1) + 15 = 180 - 65 - y (Linear angles)

⇒ 48x + 4 = 100 - 0

⇒ 48x = 96

⇒ x = 2

⇒ 3(7z + 6) + 5(5z + 1) = 115 (Both the angles are equal "alt. ext. angles")

⇒ 21z + 18 + 25z + 5 = 115

⇒ 46z + 23 = 115

⇒ 46z = 92

⇒ z = 2
