I will try my best...


Let x and y be the two numbers.  


x = y - 4  


2y = 5x - 10  


Now, we solve the system of equations:  


2y = 5(y - 4) - 10  


2y = 5y - 20 - 10  


-3y = -30  



So...


y = 10  


x = 10 - 4 = 6

Let x and y be the two numbers.  

x = y - 4

2y = 5y - 20 - 10  

-3y = -30  

y = 10  

x = 10 - 4 = 6

1. Solve for the value of x
Tamiku [17]

Answer:

<h3><u>x = 18</u></h3>

Explanation:

  • Line E B C Needs To Equal 180°
  • Create An Equation

3x + 5 + 3x + 4 + 3x + 9 = 180

  • Simplify Both Sides Of The Equation

(3x + 3x + 3x) + (5 + 4 + 9) = 180( Combine Like Terms)

9x + 18 = 180

9x + 18 = 180

  • Subtract 18 From Both Sides

9x + 18 − 18 = 180 − 18

9x = 162

Divide Both Sides By 9

9x / 9 = 162 / 9

<h3><u>x = 18</u></h3>
