-5x - 8 = -18
-5x - 8 + 8 = -18 + 8

In the following diagram lines m are n parallel the measures of AEB, BAE and CED are shown what is the measure of EBF
guapka [62]

Answer:

∠ EBF = 98°

Step-by-step explanation:

(3x - 15) and (2x + 10) are vertically opposite angles and are congruent, then

3x - 15 = 2x + 10 ( subtract 2x from both sides )

x - 15 = 10 ( add 15 to both sides )

x = 25

3x - 15 = 3(25) - 15 = 75 - 15 = 60°

The exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the 2 opposite interior angles.

∠ EBF is an exterior angle of the triangle , then

∠ EBF = 60° + 38° = 98°

The difference of two numbers, a and b, is 21. The difference of 5 times a and two times b is 18. What are the values of a and b
PSYCHO15rus [73]
A-b=21
5a-2b=18

We can use substitution here. Take the first equation and solve for A. (Picking this one because it's easy)

a = 21+b

Plugin to the second equation:5(21+b)-2b=18
Simplify: 105 + 5b - 2b = 18
Simplify: 105 + 3b = 18
Subtract both sides: 3b = 18-105
Simplify: 3b = -87
Divide: b = -29

Plug back into the first: a=21+b
a = 21 - 29
a = -8

katovenus [111]

Answer:

The Temperature on Thursday morning will be -13° Fahrenheit.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Temperature on Wednesday evening = -5 Fahrenheit

Temperature decreased Throughout the night = 8 degrees

We need to find the Temperature on Thursday morning.

Now we know that;

The temperature decreased means the temperature went more below the current temperature.

So To calculate Temperature on Thursday morning we will Subtract the temperature which got decreased by the temperature noted on Wednesday evening.

framing in equation form we get;

Temperature on Thursday morning = -5-8 =-13\°\ Fahrenheit

Hence The Temperature on Thursday morning will be -13° Fahrenheit.
