Supplementary angles are angles that add up to 180 degrees
Answer = 180 - 142 = 38 degrees
You can substitute what y is into the second equation, so:
3x + 4(2x + 1) = 26
3x + 8x + 4 = 26
11x + 4 = 26
- 4
11x = 22
÷ 11
x = 2
y = (2 × 2) + 1
y = 5 + 1
y = 5
So you get x as 2 and y as 5, I hope this helps!
Your solution to your question would be 7a - 1967
45 new houses.....last month 1/3 were sold....
1/3(45) = 45/3 = 15 houses sold last month
this month, 1/5 of the remaining houses were sold...
remaining houses left are (45 - 15) = 30
1/5(30) = 30/5 = 6 houses sold this month
houses left : 45 - 15 - 6 = 45 - 21 = 24 houses remain <==
