In this example, y is equal to 8.
In order to find this, first note that the two x value expressions create a straight line. That means when we add them together they will equal 180. this will give us a value for x.
x + 10 + 10x - 61 = 180
11x - 51 = 180
11x = 231
x = 21
Now that we have the value of x, we can do the same for the straight line created by the x + 10 angle and the 18y + 5 angle.
x + 10 + 18y + 5 = 180
(21) + 10 + 18y + 5 = 180
36 + 18y = 180
18y = 144
y = 8
Answer: y=-3
Step-by-step explanation:
The number of students that are on the track team are 18.
The number of students that are on the baseball team are 15.
<h3>What are the linear equations that represent the question?</h3>
a + b = 33 equation 1
a - b = 3 equation 2
Where:
- a = number of students that are on the track team
- b = number of students that are on the baseball team
<h3>How many
students that are on the
baseball team?</h3>
Subtract equation 2 from equation 1
2b = 30
Divide both sides by 2
b = 30/2 = 15
<h3>How many
students that are on the track
team?</h3>
Subtract 15 from 33: 33 - 15 = 18
