and 
, by given.
, by sum of angles.
, by supplementary angles definition.
Which means,
Therefore,
, in other words, angles a and b are complementary by definition.
Answer:
you have to make x-3 and x-7 equal to zero...
x = 3 or x=7
"A"
Step-by-step explanation:
x = the length of one piece
y = the length of the other piece
the total length is 100 cm this means
x + y = 100
one piece is 16 inches longer than the other
first we need to convert inches to cm:
1 in = 2.54 cm
16 in = 2.54*16 = 40.64
now we can write
x = y + 40.64
by solving the system of equations
x + y = 100
x = y + 40.64
we find
x = 70.32 cm
y = 29.68 cm
the lengths of the two pieces are 70.32 cm and 29.68 cm.
Answer:
The system of equations has one solution. The two equations are intersecting lines.
Step-by-step explanation:
if you want to use the substitution method, you would have to plug in y for 12x+2 in the second equation.
2(12x+2)=x+4
next, you have to distribute
24x+4=x+4
subtract 24x from each side
4=-23x+4
subtract 4 from each side
0=23x
divide each side by 23
x=0
now, plug in 0 to one equation.
y=12(0)+2
y=2
the lines intersect at one point, (0,2)
Answer:
x= -4 and y= 27/6
Step-by-step explanation:
-(8x + 6y = -5) which converts to -8x -6y = 5
10x + 6y = -13
simplify from there
-8x + 10x = 2x ; -6y + 6y = 0 ; 5 - 13 = -8
soo, now you have
2x = -8
x = -4
then, plug in to find y
8(-4) + 6y = -5
-32 + 6y = -5 add 32 on both sides
6y = 27 divide both sides by 6
y= 27/6 or 4.5
