Answer:
x = 20 but see below.
Step-by-step explanation:
Remark.
This is not well enough marked to know whether D = A or whether you have to do some algebra to find the relationship between A and D. So I will assume A = D and then I'll solve it so you have to manipulate A and D.
A = D
3x - 10 = 2x + 10 Add 10 to both sides
3x - 10 + 10 = 2x + 10 + 10 Cancel
3x = 2x + 20 Subtract 2x from both sides
3x-2x=2x-2x + 20
x = 20
A = E
If A = E then to find x you have to add 3 angles together.
E + D + 45 = 180 Add the three angles of the triangle
E + D = 180 - 45 Subtract 45 from both sides
E + D = 135 Substitute for D and E
3x - 10 + 2x + 10 = 135 Combine like terms
5x = 135 Divide by 5
x = 135 / 5
x = 27
Answer
I'd go with the first one.
3 consecutive integers : x, x + 1, x + 2
x + (x + 1) + (x + 2) = 108...ur equation
3x + 3 = 108...ur equation that has been simplified some
Simplifying
j = (2j + 3)
Reorder the terms:
j = (3 + 2j)
Remove parenthesis around (3 + 2j)
j = 3 + 2j
Solving
j = 3 + 2j
Solving for variable 'j'.
Move all terms containing j to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-2j' to each side of the equation.
j + -2j = 3 + 2j + -2j
Combine like terms: j + -2j = -1j
-1j = 3 + 2j + -2j
Combine like terms: 2j + -2j = 0
-1j = 3 + 0
-1j = 3
Divide each side by '-1'.
j = -3
Simplifying
j = -3
Answer:
x = 4
y = -2
Step-by-step explanation:
x + 10y = -16
-x -4y = 4 <-- ( multiplied x+4y=-4 with -1 so the x's cancel)
6y = -12
y = -2
put -2 back in the equation to get x
x + 10y = -16
x -20 = -16
x = 4
