Since the two lines are parallel, the angle labeled 130 is congruent to the angle labeled x+ 136 so you can set them equal to each other
130 = x + 136
subtract 136 from both sides
x = -6
It will be 1 of the 100block
5 of the tens block and 2 single
D
You subtract 5 1/4 (5.25) - 3 3/4 (3.75) = 1 1/2 (1.5)
First, set 2x+7 equal to 3x-7 since they are the same angle due to the parallel lines.
2x+7=3x-7
x=14
Then, since 2x+7 and 12y+1 equals 180, put it together to find y:
(2x+7)+(12y+1)=180
(2(14)+7)+(12y+1)=180
12y+1=145
12y=144
y=12
So, x=14 and y=12. Your answer should be C!
-3/4x + 5/6 y = 15
Multiply through by 6
-9/2x + 5y = 90
Add 9/2x to both sides
5y = 90 + 9/2x
Divide both sides by 5
y = 18 + 9/10x
y = 9/10x + 18
Comparing with the general equation of a straight line y = mx + c
Gradient (m) = 9/10 or 0.9
and the y - intercept (c) = 18
