Answer:
∠CAB = 28°
∠DAC = 64°
Step-by-step explanation:
What you do in each case is make use of the relationships you know about angles in a triangle and around parallel lines. You can also use the relationships you know about diagonals in a rectangle, and the triangles they create.
<u>Left</u>
Take advantage of the fact that ∆AEB is isosceles, so the angles at A and B in that triangle are the same. If we call that angle measure x, then we have the sum of angles in that triangle is ...
x + x + ∠AEB = 180°
2x = 180° -124° = 56°
x = 28°
The measure of angle CAB is 28°.

<u>Right</u>
Sides AD and BC are parallel, so diagonal AC can be considered a transversal. The two angles we're concerned with are alternate interior angles, so are congruent.
∠BCA = ∠DAC = 64°
The measure of angle DAC is 64°.
(Another way to look at this is that triangles BCE and DAE are congruent isosceles triangles, so corresponding angles are congruent.)

Answer:
The y-intercept moves 13 spaces lower
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: z = 3
Step-by-step explanation: To solve this equation for <em>z</em>, we can first combine our like terms on the left side of the equation. Since 12 and 7 both have <em>z</em> after their coefficient, we can subtract 12z - 7z to get 5z.
Now we have 5z - 2 = 13.
To solve from here, we add 2 to the left side of the equation in order to isolate 5z. If we add 2 to the left side, we must also add 2 to the right side. On the left side, the -2 and +2 cancel out. On the right, 13 + 2 simplifies to 15.
Now we have 5z = 15.
Solving from here, we divide both sides of the equation by 5 to get <em>z</em> alone. On the left side, the 5's cancel out and we are simply left with <em>z</em>. On the right side, 15 divided by 5 simplifies to 3 so we have z = 3.
