(1) since the horizontal lines are parallel, and you know the vertical intersecting line crosses at right angle, it must be that the two angles with variable x sum up to 90 degrees. So same rewritten as an equation:

x+8+6x-58 = 90

7x = 140

x = 20 (degrees)

(2) here you have two variable so you will need to find two equations.

The first one comes from the triangle and its angles summing up to 180:

63 + (3x+45) + (y-6) = 180

The second one comes from the fact that the two horizontal lines are parallel and so the angles (7x-7) and (3x+45) must be the same:

7x-7=3x+45

Let's solve the last one first:

4x = 52

x = 13

then plug this solution into the first equation and solve for y

63 + (3x+45) + (y-6) = 180

3x + y = 78

y = 78-39 = 39

so the value of y is 39 (degrees)

Which is the best first step when solving the following system of equations? x + y = 3. 4 x minus y = 7. Multiply the first equa
____ [38]

Answer:

just add the equation and solve it then the value of X could be found then put the value of X and the value of y can be found. Just like in the below

Step-by-step explanation:

X+y=3 ------------ equation 1

4x-y=7 ------------ equation 2

adding equation 1 and 2

X+y=3

+ 4x-y=7

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

5x = 10

X = 10/5

X = 2

putting the value of X in equation 1

or, 2+y=3

or, y = 3-2

Thus, y = 1

a piece of yellow yarn was 230 inches long. After 90 inches had een cut from it,,, the piece of yellow yarn was twice as longas
jasenka [17]
Okay. So 90 yds was cut from the 230 yd yarn. 230 - 90 = 140. 1/2 of 140 is 70. 230 - 70 = 160. The yellow yarn was 160 yds longer than the blue yarn at first.
