Answer:
x = 12
Step-by-step explanation:
The 2 given angles form a straight angle and are supplementary, thus
10x - 20 + 6x + 8 = 180
16x - 12 = 180 ( add 12 to both sides )
16x = 192 ( divide both sides by 16 )
x = 12
Its the same as a square! you do base x height and for explaination just say if u split the parallelagram in half and put it together it makes a square!
Answer fast? What?
x + 2y = 17...Equation A
8x + 3y = 45...Equation B
Solve A for x.
x = 17 - 2y
Plug this into B to solve for y.
8(17 - 2y) + 3y = 45
136 - 16y + 3y = 45
136 - 13y = 45
-13y = 45 - 136
-13y = -91
y = -91/-13
y = 91/13
y = 7
To find y, plug x = 7 into either equation to find x.
I will use Equation A.
x + 2y = 17
x + 2(7) = 17
x + 14 = 17
x = 17 - 14
x = 3
Answer: x = 3, y = 7
