the 2 equations given are vertical angles which mean they would equal the same.
Set the two equations to equal each other to solve for x:
6(x-2) = 3x+30
Simplify the left side:
6x-12 = 3x+30
Add 12 to eac side:
6x = 3x+42
Subtract 3x from each side"
3x = 42
Divide both sides by 3:
X = 42/3
X = 14
Now you know X, replace x with 14 in the equation for DHG:
DHG = 6(x-2)
6(14-2)
Simplify:
6(12)
Multiply:
72
Angle DHG is 72 degrees.
Write a system of equation based on the number
For an instance, the two numbers are a and b.
"The sum of two numbers is 59" can be written as follows.
⇒ a + b = 59 <em>(first equation)
</em>"The difference is 15" can be written as follows.
⇒ a - b = 15 <em>(second equation)</em>
Solve the system of equation by elimination/substitution method.
First, eliminate b to find the value of a.
a + b = 59
a - b = 15
--------------- + (add)
2a = 74
a = 74/2
a = 37
Second, substitute 37 as a in one of the equations
a + b = 59
37 + b = 59
b = 59 - 37
b = 22
The numbers are 37 and 22
The first one- the rest don’t add up
