Let x and y be the two numbers. We have:

\begin{cases}x+y=14\\x+2y=25\end{cases}

Subtract the first equation from the second to get

y=11

And deduce

x+11=14 \iff x=3

The two numbers are 3 and 11.

What is the measure of ∠XBC?
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

m∠XBC = 135

Step-by-step explanation:

What is the measure of ∠XBC?

m∠XBC = m∠BAC + m∠BCA

3p – 6 = p + 4 + 84

3p – 6 = p + 88

2p – 6 = 88

2p = 94

From the simplified expression, we need to find the value of p first

From the last line we can see that;

2p =94

Divide both sides by 2:

2p/2 =94/2

p = 47

From the expression, m∠XBC =3p-6

m∠XBC = 3(47)-6

m∠XBC = 141 -6

m∠XBC = 135

Hence the measure of m∠XBC is 135
