Step-by-step explanation:

Start by solving the equation for x (☓)

- x + 2y = 6 \\ \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  3 + y = 8

x = 6 + 2y

<h2>Substitute the given value of x for the equation 3 + y = 8</h2>

3(6 + 2y) + y = 8

<h2>solve the equation for y </h2>

y =  -  \frac{10}{7}

<h2>substitute the given value of y into the equation x = 6 + 2 </h2>

x = 6 + 2 \times ( -  \frac{10}{7} )

<h2>solve the equation for x </h2>

x =  \frac{22}{7}

<h2>The possible solution of the system is the <u>ordered</u><u> </u><u>pair</u><u> </u> (x,y)</h2>

(\frac{22}{7} . -  \frac{10}{7} )

<h2>The dot (.) in the center is supposed to be a comma but the scientific keyboard does not support a comma</h2>

(x.y) \:  \: ( \frac{22}{7} . -  \frac{10}{7} )

<h2>This is the solution </h2>

Answer:

x=2y+6

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have the system:

-x+2y=-6\\3x+y=8

If we isolate the x-variable in the first equation:

-x+2y=-6

Subtract 2y from both sides:

-x=-6-2y

Divide both sides by -1:

x=2y+6

Therefore, we would substitute the above into the second equation:

3x+y=8\\3(2y+6)+y=8

The answer is 2y+6

Further notes:

To solve for the system, distribute:

6y+18+y=8

Simplify:

7y+18=8

Subtract:

7y=-10

Divide:

y=-10/7\approx-1.4286

Now, substitute this value back into the isolated equation:

x=2(-10/7)+6\\x=-20/7+42/7\\x=22/7\approx3.1429

Answer:

  80°

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the two angles (red and blue) is 145°, so you have ...

  (4x +5)° +(6x -10)° = 145°

  10x = 150 . . . . . . . . divide by °, add 5, simplify

  x = 15 . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 10

Then the measure of the angle of interest is ...

  m∠XMN = (6x -10)° = (6·15 -10)° = 80°
