The number 8 would be its simplest form.<span />
Set up and solve an equation:
3(90-x) = (180-x). Then 270 - 3x = 180 - x, or 270 - 180 = 2x.
90 = 2x, so x = 45 deg.
Is this true? 3(90-45) = (180-45)? If so, x = 45 degrees is correct.
Let x the subject of the equation in x-2y=-10 this make it x=2y-10 substitute this in the first equation. 3(2y-10)-2y=-6 solve for y, y=6. substitute y in any of the original equations to get x x= 2
