The opposite angles equal each other, so X and Z are equal
using that we solve for x by setting them equal:
6x-60 = 2x+68
subtract 2x from each side:
4x -60 = 68
add 60 to each side:
4x = 128
divide both sides by 4
x = 128/4
x = 32
now we know x so we can solve everything else by replacing x with 32
WY = 3x+5 = 3(32)+5 = 96+5 = 101
angle Z = 2x+68 = 2(32)+68 = 64+132
the answer is C
Answer:
x + Y = 39 or x = 39-y
20x + 50y = 1.40
20 (39 - y) + 50y = 11.40
7.80 - 20y + 50y = 11.40
30y = 11.40 - 7.80
30y = 3.60
y = 3.60/30
y = 12 50p coins were collected.
x = 39 - 12 = 27 20p coins were collected.
Proof:
20*27 + 50*12 = 11.40
5.40 + 6 = 11.40
11.40 = 11.40
I hope it helps.
For this problem, you would have to use a system of equations. Hope this helps!
Maybe it could've been:
3x = 32. Find the value of x.
Hence, you'd do 32 divided by 3 to find the value of x.
