Answer:

  1. Is a larger (more positive) than b?
  2. Is c larger (more positive) than d?

Step-by-step explanation:

Since a and b are less than zero, both are negative, but we don't know their order. We need to ask the order of a and b.

Since c and d are greater than zero, both are positive, but we don't know their order. We need to ask the order of c and d.

If you know a < b, then their order left to right on the number line will be a, b. Otherwise, it will be b, a.

If you know c < d, then their order left to right on the number line will be c, d. Otherwise it will be d, c.

Depending on the answers to the questions above, the order will be one of ...

  • a, b, c, d
  • b, a, c, d
  • a, b, d, c
  • b, a, d, c

As you can see, a and b will always be left of c and d.

Answer:

x=148

Linear pairs add up to 180. Take your value of 32 and subtract it from 180 to find out the value of the remaining angle within the linear pair.

180-32=148

Hence, x=148

Hope this helps!

Eddi Din [679]
2x + y = 3
3x - y = 12
Add both equations
5x = 15, x = 3
2(3) + y = 3
6 + y = 3, y = -3
Solution: x = 3, y = -3... or (3,-3)
