You can set up an system of equations
x=2y+8
x-y=25

Substitute x in to the second equation
2y+8-y=25
y+8=25
y=17

Substitute the y back in to the first equation.
x=2(17)+8=42

Find the value of x.<br><br> A.<br> 7<br> B.<br> 9<br> C.<br> 11<br> D.<br> 12
Arisa [49]
Use the law of cosines to solve for angle A. Plug your known side length values into the equation a^2 = b^2 + c^2 – 2bc cos A.

Then use the law of sines to find angle B. (Sin A/a = Sin B/b = Sin C/c).

Because the two red angles within B are congruent, divide your angle measure in half.

From there, do the law of sines to solve for x. Good luck!

If a b and m∠2 = 71°, what is m∠1?
Nikolay [14]

Answer:

  71°

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to be able to solve this problem, we must assume the relation between lines "a" and "b" is that they are parallel.

If a║b, then ∠1 and ∠2 are corresponding, hence congruent.

  m∠1 = m∠2 = 71°
