Because half of 8 is 4

Divide 1 by 1/2 or .5... 1 becomes 1/1 and 1/2 is flipped to 2/1, then multiply
Well technically this problem is wrong, as two sides are the same on a rectangle on each side.
Answer:
<Ber=<kem(vertically opposite angle)
9x-17=3x+31
9x-3x=31+17
6x=48
x=48/6=8
<kem=3×8+31=55°is answer
Answer:
7x +2y =24 --------- (i)
8x +2y= 30 ---------(ii)
Subtracting eqn. (i) & (ii)
7x +2y =24
8x +2y= 30
- - -
___________
-x = - 6
Putting the value of x in eqn. (i)
7*6 +2y =24
42 +2y =24
2y =-18
y = - 9
Hence, x=6 and y= - 9
Hope it helps!!
