Answer:

X = 51

Y = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

2 numbers: (Larger) Number 1 is x and Number 2 is y

The equation is x + y = 63

  • x = 3y +15
  • y = y

New equation is:

  • 3y + 15 + y = 63

Combine like variables:

  • 4y + 15 = 63

Solve:

  • 4y + 15 - 15 = 63 - 15
  • 4y = 48

Divide 4 from each side:

  • <em><u>y = 12</u></em>

To find x fill in the variables from the 'x =' equation:

  • x = 3y + 15
  • x = 3( 12) + 15
  • <em><u>x = 51</u></em>

Can someone please help me solve for x and then find the measurments of ∠B asap!
Tanya [424]
Angle-A and angle-B are alternate interior angles with parallel lines cut by a transversal. That tells you that the two angles are EQUAL. So you can write

8x + 78 = 2x + 114 ,

and it should all be smooth sailing for you from that point.
