-x + 5y = 8

multiply this equation by 3

-3x + 15y = 24

now add it to the other equation  ( elimination)

-3x + 15y = 24

3x + 7y = -2

-----------------------

0x  + 22 y = 22

divide each side by 22

y =1


substitute into -x + 5y =8  to find x

-x + 5(1) = 8

-x + 5 = 8

-x =3

divide by -1

x =-3

Answer (-3,1)

Choice A

I will give BRAINLIEST to the correct answer <br> Find the measure of angle 6.
True [87]

Answer:

m∠6 = 116°

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>first find x:</u>

7x - 17 = 2x + 78

subtract 2x from both sides: 5x - 17 = 78

add 17 to both sides: 5x = 95

divide by 5: x = 19

<u>plug x into 7x - 17</u>

7(19) - 17 = 116

∠6 and 7x - 17 are vertical angles and therefore congruent, so m∠6 also = 116°
