In a triangle, the total angle is 180 degrees. A straight line is always 180 degrees. With this in mind, the following can be obtained:

These are simultaneous equations.

<u>ANSWER</u>
A. (4,12)
<u>EXPLANATION</u>
The equations are:

and

To eliminate a variable we make the coefficients of that variable the same in both equations.
It is easier to eliminate x.
We multiply the first equation by 2 to get:

We add equations (2) and (3).


Divide both sides by 23


Put x=4 into equation (1).






The solution is (4,12)
Answer:
Females = 17 and males = 23
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that,
Total no of students in the class = 40
Let no. of females = x
No. of males = 6+x
ATQ,
Total students = males + females
40 = x+6+x
40-6 = 2x
34 = 2x
x = 17
Hence, there are 17 females and (6+17= 23) males.
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
You can subtract normally when the square roots are the same( like in your problem) but the squares stay they same and the numbers on the outside change.
