Let b>a, 

a+b=40 so we can say a=40-b

We are told that b-a=6.5, using a found above in the equation gives us:

b-(40-b)=6.5

b-40+b=6.5

2b-40=6.5

2b=46.5

b=23.25, and since  a=40-b

a=40-23.25

a=16.75

So a=16.75 and b=23.25

check...

16.75+23.25=40, 40=40

23.25-16.75=6.5, 6.5=6.5

Find the value of X and Y<br><br> (WILL GIVE BRAINY)
irinina [24]

Answer:

y = 62, x = 122

Step-by-step explanation:

Every triangle's sum of interior angles = 180°.

60 + 58 + y = 180

118         + y = 180

y                  = 62

Supplementary angles are adjacent angles that make up a straight angle (180 degrees)

58 + x = 180

x          = 122

PLEASE HURRY ASAP!! SHOW YOUR WORK!!<br><br> 12x = 8x + 12
Sergio [31]

Simplifying

12x + -8x = 12

Combine like terms: 12x + -8x = 4x

4x = 12

Solving

4x = 12

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Divide each side by '4'.

x = 3

Simplifying

x = 3
