2x+5y=21, x+y=3
y=3-x
2x+5y=21
2x+5(3-x) =21
2x+15-5x=21
2x-5x+15=21
-3x+15=21
-3x=21-15
-x=6/3
-x=2
x=-2

Answer:

(A)

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the formula :

Area = 1/2 [-1(1 - 6) -7(6 - 1) -3(1 - 1)]

Area = 1/2 [5 - 35]

Area = 1/2 × -30 = |-15| = 15 units²

Two angles are supplementary. The larger angle is 33 degrees more than 6 times the smaller angle. Find the measure of each angle

noname [10]

Sum of two angles that are supplementary = 180°

Let the smaller angle be = x

$Let \: the \: smaller \: angle \: be \: = \: x$

$then \: the \: larger \: angle \: = 6x + 33$

<h3>Their sum :</h3>

$x + 6x + 33 = 180$

$7x + 33 = 180$

$7x = 180 - 33$

$7x = 147$

$x = \frac{147}{7}$

$x = 21$

Using this let us find the measures of the smaller angle and bigger angle .

$smaller \: angle \: = x = 21°$

$larger \: angle \: = 6x + 33 = 6 \times 21 + 33 = 126 + 33 = 159°$

∴ The measure of the two angles are = 21° and 159° .
