Answer:

∠B = 62°

Step-by-step explanation:

Because ∠A and ∠B are vertical angles they are equal hence we can write

∠A = ∠B

8x + 14 = 2x + 50

Now we have to solve for x

To do so, subtract 2x on both sides of the equation:

6x + 14 = 50

Now, subtract 14 on both sides of the equation

6x = 36

Now, divide 6 on both sides of the equation

x = 6

To find m∠B you have to you have to plug in x = 6 back into the ∠B equation

∠B = 2(6) + 50

∠B = 62°

Answer:

C. When the equations -10x + 5y = -60 and -3x − 5y = -5 are added together, a third linear equation, -13x = -65, is formed, and it shares a common solution with the original equations.

Step-by-step explanation:

2x-y=12

-3x-5y=-5

multiply the first equation by -5

-10x +5y = -60

add the 2 equations together

-3x-5y=-5

-10x +5y = -60

-------------------------

-13x = -65

We use the addition property of equality which says adding the same thing to both sides, doesn't change the equation, so we will get the same answer as the original equation
