I’m not 100 percent sure someone can comment on this and confirm but when it’s written like a fraction it means division. If they gave you the meaning of each variable (the letters) multiply each variable by each coefficient (the number next to the variable). Multiply all of those. Then divide it by the product of 4 and the variable
Hope this helped!
x = 3 + y Eqn(1)
y = -2x + 9 Eqn(2)
Let us solve the system of equations with the substitution method
x - 3 = y (Subtracting 3 from both sides of the Eqn(1))
Replacing y = x - 3 in Eqn (2), we have:
x - 3 = -2x + 9
x = -2x + 9 + 3 (Adding 3 to both sides of the equation)
x + 2x = 9 + 3 (Adding 2x to both sides of the equation)
3x = 12 ( Adding like terms)
x = 12/3 (Dividing by 3 on both sides of the equation)
x = 4
Replacing x=4 in Eqn(1), we have:
4 = 3 + y
4 - 3 = y (Subtracting 3 from both sides of the equation)
y=1
The answers are:
x= 4 and y=1
Y = 104°
z = 24
Angle y° and (5z - 44)° are linear pairs, meaning that the two measures together will add up to 180°.
To solve for z, know that (5z - 44)° and 76° are vertical angles, meaning that both angles are the same.
So simply set them equal to each other to find z:
5z - 44 = 76
5z = 76 + 44
5z = 120
z = 24
Now to solve for y, remember that since (5z - 44)° and 76° are vertical angles, they are the same, meaning you can denote (5z - 44)° as simply 76°. Like I said earlier, y and 76° are a linear pair so simply subtract 76 from 180 to find y:
180 - 76 = 104°
