"Supplementary" angles add up to 180°.
Opposite angles are supplementary, so . . .
(12x - 4) + (19x - 2) = 180°
Clear the parentheses: 12x - 4 + 19x - 2 = 180°
Add up all the x's on the left side: 31x - 4 - 2 = 180°
Add up the plain old numbers on the left side: 31x - 6 = 180°
Add 6 to each side: 31x = 186°
Divide each side by 31 : <em>x = 6°</em>
Well ! Now that you know that x = 6° . . .
Angle EPC is (12x - 4)°
That's (12·6 - 4)°
Which is (72 - 4)°
Which is <em>68°</em>
Answer:
would go for C, SSS (side side side theorem)
The y-intercept for this line is (0, -6)
When you multiply a negative with a positive it’s always a negative
Multiply 5 and -9 to get -45
Answer is -45
