<h3>Answer: Choice B) x = 65, y = 10</h3>
====================================================
Work Shown:
The upper pair of angles 60 degrees and (2x-y) degrees are supplementary angles. This is because of the parallel lines. Note how they are same side interior angles. Therefore, (2x-y) and 60 combine to 180 degrees like so
(2x-y)+60 = 180
2x-y = 180-60 ... subtract 60 from both sides
2x-y = 120 ... call this equation 1
-------
Similarly, (2x+y) and 40 also combine to 180
(2x+y) + 40 = 180
2x+y = 180-40 ... subtract 40 from both sides
2x+y = 140 ... call this equation 2
------
Line up equation 1 and equation 2. Then add straight down
That becomes 4x = 260 which solves to x = 65 when you divide both sides by 4.
------
If x = 65, then,
2x-y = 120
2(65)-y = 120
130 - y = 120
-y = 120-130
-y = -10
y = 10
or
2x+y = 140
2(65)+y = 140
130+y = 140
y = 140-130
y = 10
----------
Either way end up with x = 65 and y = 10

Answer:
26*26*26 = 17576 ways to select 3 letters
10*10= 100 ways to select 2 numbers
So then the total number of ways are:
possible ways
Step-by-step explanation:
For this case we assume that we have 26 letters from A to Z and 10 numbers from 0 to 9 .
And we want to calculate the number of possible passwords possible if the password consists of 3 letters followed by 2 digits.
And for this case we can use the multiplication principle of combinatories, since we don't have any restriction about the letters of the numbers we can have repetition of letters or numbers.
For the number of possible letters:
26*26*26 = 17576 ways to select 3 letters
10*10= 100 ways to select 2 numbers
So then the total number of ways are:
possible ways
