Yea that can be a good equation. I had this question last year and my teacher said it was ok.
But it can be wrong, I don't really know. Cuz we don't go to the same school.
Answer: y=55 x=6
Step-by-step explanation: Because of the two equivalent lines in lines DE and FE we know that the angles D and F must be equal, therefore y is 55. And now we know that angles D and F add up to 110 and because all of the angles in a triangle add up to 180, angle E must equal 70.
Angle E- (11x+4)=70
-4 -4
11x=66
divide both sides by 11
x=6
Let x = big number
Let y = small number
x + y = 66...Equation A
2y = x + 15...Equation B
We have two equations in two unknowns.
x + x + 15 = 66
2x = 66 - 15
2x = 54
x = 54/2
x = 27
Plug x = 27 into EITHER equation above to find y.
I will use Equation A.
x + y = 66
27 + y = 66
y = 66 - 27
y = 39
The two numbers are 27 and 39.
