How do I find the value of x here?

Vertical angles are equal, so the angle above 2 is also 88+x. Then, because the 2 sides of the 52° triangle are congruent, the angles beneath them are too. So you are left with the equation of that triangle being...

88 + x + 88 + x + 52 = 180
combine like terms
228 + 2x = 180
subtract 228 from both sides
2x = -48
divide both sides by 2
x = -24

Hope this helps :)

Solve the following system of equations algebraically 3x-y=0 5x+2y=22

Lyrx [107]

3x - y = 0 ⇒ 2(3x - y = 0 ) ⇒ 6x - 2y = 0

5x + 2y = 22 ⇒ 1(5x + 2y = 22) ⇒ 5x + 2y = 22

11x = 22

x = 2

3x - y = 0 ⇒ 3(2) - y = 0 ⇒ 6 - y = 0 ⇒ 6 = y

Answer: x=2, y=6
