Hello there!

8x = 2y + 5
3x = y + 7
Use the substitution property
We need to solve 3x = y + 7 for y
3x = y + 7
3x - y = 7
-y = 7 - 3x
Divide both sides by -1
-y/-1 = -3x -7/-1
y = 3x - 7
Substitute 3x - 7 for y in 8x = 2y + 5
8x = 2y + 5
8x = 2(3x - 7) + 5
8x = 6x - 14 + 5
8x = 6x - 9
8x - 6x = -9
2x = -9
x= -9/2
To find y, we need to substitute -9/2 for x in y = 3x -7
y = 3x - 7
y = 3(-9/2) - 7
y = -41/2

The correct answer is option A (-9/2; -41/2)

Good luck with your studies!

Answer:

60* and 30*

Step-by-step explanation:

If two angles are complementary then they will add up to be 90, or inversely, if two angles add up to be 90, then they are complementary. If you know one acute angle, you can calculate its complementary angle by subtracting 90 and the angle.
