S= small dogs and l= large dogs

s + l = 85s + 8l = 55

<span> multiply the first equation by an amount that will get rid of a variable.
</span>-5s - 5l = -405s + 8l =  55

Now divide both sides by 3
3l = 15l = 5

s + 5 = 8s = 3


Now let's make sure that we got the right answer:

5 * 3 + 8 * 5 = 5515 + 40 = 5555 = 55


We are correct!

Ryan walked 3 small dogs

I hope this helps!

Let L and S be the number of large and small dogs respectively.

L+S=8 so we can say L=8-S

5S+8L=55, using L found above in this equation yields:

5S+8(8-S)=55

5S+64-8S=55

-3S+64=55

-3S=-9

S=3, since L=8-S

L=5

So Ryan walked 3 small dogs and 5 large dogs.

Angle ABD and angle DBC are linear pairs, and angle ABD and angle EDC are vertical angles. If the measure of angle ABD=5(2x+1),
Ugo [173]
∠ ABD = 5(2X+1)
∠ DBC = 3X+6
∠ EBC = Y +135/2

∠ ABD and ∠ DBC are linear pairs
∴ ∠ ABD +∠ DBC = 180
∴ 5(2X+1) + 3X+6 =180
solve for x
∴ x = 13
∴∠ ABD = 5(2X+1) = 5(2*13+1) = 135
  ∠ DBC = 3x+6  = 3*13+6 = 45

∠ ABD  and ∠ EBC are vertical angles
∴ ∠ ABD = ∠ EBC = 135
∴ y +135/2 = 135
∴ y = 135/2

The <span>statements that are true:
--------------------------------------</span><span>
C.) x=13
E.)measure of angle EBC =135
F.) angle DBC and angle EBC are linear pairs </span>
