-2x + 6y = -34
-x + 3y = -17
x = 3y +17
Sub this into 1st eqn
5(3y + 17) + 2y = 21
15y + 85 + 2y =21
17y = -64
y = -3.7647 (to 5 sig. fig.)
y = -3.8 (to nearest tenth)
Sub y = -3.7647 into 2nd eqn
x = 3(-3.7647) +17
x = 5.7 (to nearest tenth)
Answer:
x = 21
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum the the interior angles of a triangle is 180°.
We know that the three angles of the triangle is 100°, x° - 4, and 3x°.
The sum of 100°, x° - 4, and 3x° must equal 180°. We can turn this into the equation:
100 + x - 4 + 3x = 180
(I got rid of the degree signs because they are not necessary when finding x.)
Now, to find the value of x, we would have to solve for x in the equation 100 + x - 4 + 3x = 180.
100 + x - 4 + 3x = 180
Subtract 100 from both sides to get rid of the 100 on the left side.
x - 4 + 3x = 180 - 100
Simplify.
x - 4 + 3x = 80
Add 4 from both sides to get rid of the -4 on the left side.
x + 3x = 80 + 4
Simplify and combine like terms.
4x = 84
Divide 4 from both sides to get rid of the coefficient of 4 on the left side.
x = 84/4
Simply.
x = 21
The value of x would be 21.
x = 21
