A, 10. b,-300. c, -1. d, -3567.
youre basically looking for the number that gets you to the other number. how far away from 30 is 40? 10. how far is 500 from 200? 300, but in the other direction so its negative. and for D since the final number is 0 just use the same number but flip the sign

Consider kite WXYZ. What are the values of a and b? a = 4; b = 10. a = 4; b = 40, a = 8; b = 10, a = 8; b = 40

Check the picture below.

let's recall that a kite is a quadrilateral, and thus is a polygon with 4 sides

sum of all interior angles in a polygon

180(n - 2) n = number of sides

so for a quadrilateral that'd be 180( 4 - 2 ) = 360, thus

$\bf 3b+70+50+3b=360\implies 6b+120=360\implies 6b=240 \\\\\\ b=\cfrac{240}{6}\implies b=40 \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \overline{XY}=\overline{YZ}\implies 3a-5=a+11\implies 2a-5=11 \\\\\\ 2a=16\implies a=\cfrac{16}{2}\implies a=8$
