8a - 4b = 20
5a - 8b = 62

Multiply the first equation by (-2):
-16a + 8b = -40
5a - 8b = 62

Sum the equations:
-16a + 5a + 8b - 8b = -40 + 62
- 11a = 22
a = 22 / -11
a = -2

Since 5a - 8b = 62 and a = -2, then:
5 * (-2) - 8b = 62
-10 - 8b = 62
-8b = 62 + 10
-8b = 72
b = 72 / -8
b = -9

What is x? Please help fast
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

x = 47°

Step-by-step explanation:

m∠DPB + ∠BPC = 180° (Definition of a straight line)

Plug in the corresponding numbers and variables to the corresponding places:

x + 133 = 180

Isolate the variable, x. Subtract 133 from both sides:

x + 133 (-133) = 180 (-133)

x = 180 - 133

x = 47

47° is your answer.
