A farm had 480 acres more wheat than corn. Let use "W" to represent the Wheat and let use "C" to represent the corn. Hence, we have below:
W=C+480
The farmers collected 80% of the wheat and 25% of the corn and the area of the wheat is 300 acres less than the area of the corn:
W-0.8W=C-0.25C+300
0.2W=0.75C+300
We have two equations, two unknowns:
0.2(C+480)=0.75C+300
0.2C+96=0.75C+300
0.55C=294
C=534.55
Interior angles on parallel lines cut by a traversal are supplementary (they add up to 180°). These can be identified as "c" angles, due to their shape. Knowing this, we can figure out the value of x:
7x+(2x+36)=180
7x+2x+36=180
Simplify the equation
9x+36=180
Collect like terms
9x=144
Divide by 9 on both sides to isolate x
x=16
