The angles of a triangle will always add up to be 180 degrees total.
x + 82 + x + 82 + 40 = 180
2x + 164 + 40 = 180
2x + 204 = 180
Subtract 204 from both sides.
Think of it as “180 + (-204)”
2x = -24
Divide each side by 2.
x = -12
Answer: x = -12
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
(2, -1)
Step-by-step explanation:
We can add the first equation by the second
(4x + 6y = 2)+(-4x + 4y = -12)=
10y=-10
we divide both sides by 10 to get
y=-1
We plug -1 in the second equation to get:
-4x+4(-1)=-12
-4x-4=-12
-4x=-8
Now, we divide both sides by -4
x=2
