You isolate one variable. Let's say that x will be that variable in the first equation:
x-y=1
 +y  +y
x=y+1
So now you have the equation for x.  All you have to do is substitute it into the other:
x=y+1
(y+1)+y=3
Combine like terms and solve:
2y+1=3
    -1  -1
2y=2
2y/2=2/2
y=1
Now that you have the value of one, substitute it into either of the equations to find x.
If you put it in the first:
x-1=1
 +1  +1
x=2
If you put it into the other, you would get the same answer.
Therefore, y=1 and x=2

Could somebody please help me find the answers for 'x' for these pictures?
djyliett [7]

Answer:

(in order) #1

for the first one you have a vertical angle. Vertical angle is basically any 2 lines who intersect each other. The opposite sides will be congruent.

So in this case

2x+8 and 110 are oppostie sides.

2x+8=110

Which is x= 51

#2

For the second one you have supplementray angles

Now for supplementary angles its basically 2 angles added up that form a straight line And 180 degress is always the measure of a straight line. SO in this case we do

9x+12x+75=180

Which is x=5

#3

This is also a vertical angle pair and their congruent just like #1

So 5x+5=65

x=12
