Y is equal to -35, plug in x in the other equation.
9 - 8x = 35
subtract 9 from both sides
-8x = 26
divide both sides by -8
x= -26/8
you can simplify this to -13/4
1/4= 0.25
2/4= 1/2 = 0.5
0.25 x 0.5 = 0.125
0.125 = 1/8
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
let ∠BCE = x then ∠ECD = 5x - 6 and
∠BCE + ∠ECD = ∠BCD, substitute values
x + 5x - 6 = 162, that is
6x - 6 = 162 ( add 6 to both sides )
6x = 168 ( divide both sides by 6 )
x = 28
Hence
∠BCE = x = 28°
∠ECD = 5x - 6 = (5 × 28) - 6 = 140 - 6 = 134°
Answer:
x = 2
