2a - b....a = 2 and b = 3
2(2) - 3 =
4 - 3 =
1
Because of the transversal and the parallel lines, we know that A+B=180°.
So:
5x + 20 + 9x - 92 = 180
14x - 72 = 180
14x = 180 + 72
14x = 252
x = 252/14
x = 18
A = 5x + 20
A = 5*18 + 20
A = 90 + 20 = 110
(Let’s check:
B = 9*18 - 92
B = 162 - 92
B = 70
70 + 110 = 180)
<h2>The solution is (x, y) = (-3, -1)</h2>
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
<em><u>Given, system of equations are:</u></em>
-3 - x = 0 --------- eqn 1
-3y = -3 - 2x -------- eqn 2
From eqn 1,
- 3 - x = 0
<h3>x = -3</h3>
<em><u>Substitute x = -3 in eqn 2</u></em>
-3y = - 3 - 2(-3)
-3y = -3 + 6
-3y = 3
<h3>y = -1</h3>
Thus the solution is (x, y) = (-3, -1)
