Answer:

<em>HE=3</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Equations</u>

With the data provided, we can set up an equation. Then we need to solve the equation. Finally, we use the just-found value of x to calculate HE.

Data:

HE=1/3 HG

HE=x-3

HG=4x-15

Replacing the last two equations in the first:

x-3=1/3(4x-15)

Multiply both sides by 3:

3(x-3)=4x-15

Operate:

3x-9=4x-15

Moving x's to the left and numbers to the right:

3x-4x=-15+9

Joining like terms:

-x=-6

Multiply by -1:

x=6

Since HE= x-3:

HE=6-3

HE=3

Answer:

x=24

Step-by-step explanation:

HE= 1/3(HG)

x-3=1/3(4x-15)

3x-9=4x-15

-x=-24

x=24

bixtya [17]

Answer:

70 and 110

Step-by-step explanation:

First angle -- 2x

Second angle -- 3x + 5

Therefore,

2x + 3x + 5 = 180

5x = 175

x = 35

Therefore, 2x -- 70

3x + 5 -------------110
