Yes the correct answer is 1/2 because there two of them
Answer:
x = -84, y = -58
Step-by-step explanation:
2x - 3y = 6 --- Equation 1
Equation 1×5: <em>10x</em> - 15y = 30 --- Equation 2
5x + 7y = -14 --- Equation 3
Equation 3×2: <em>10x</em> + 14y = -28 --- Equation 4
<u>I will eliminate 10x. </u>
Equation 4-2:
10x - 15y - 10x + 14y = 30-(-28)
-y = 30+28
= 58
y = -58
Substitute y =-58 into Equation 1.
2x - 3y = 6
2x - 3(-58) = 6
2x - (-174) = 6
2x + 174 = 6
Find 2x.
2x = 6-174
= -168
Find x.
x = -168 ÷ 2
x = -84
Answer: 28.8°
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
∠A = 5(∠B) + 7.2°
∠B = ∠B
Since they are on a straight line, they form a linear pair (sum = 180°)
∠A + ∠B = 180°
Use Substitution:
5(∠B) + 7.2° + ∠B = 180°
Add like terms:
6(∠B) + 7.2° = 180°
Subtract 7.2° from both sides:
6(∠B) = 172.8°
Divide both sides by 6:
∠B = 28.8°
