11/2 / 3 = 11/6 pounds per friend
divide 11/2 pounds by 3 in order to get answer
Alright.
For 7, you'll want to put congruent sides equal to each other, assuming they are parallelograms. So, you'll get the two equations:
3x+2=23
2y-7=9
Solve using GEMDAS/PEMDAS, and you'll get these answers.
3x+2=23
3x=21
x=7
2y-7=9
2y=2
y=1
For 8, you'll want to do the exact same thing, formatting the numbers to equal each other. You'll get these two equations:
3y+5=14
2x-5=17
Solving them would make:
3y+5=14
3y=9
y=3
2x-5=17
2x=22
x=11
For 9, you have to remember that the angle opposite of one angle in a defined parallelogram are congruent. Thus:
130=2h
5k=50
solve them and you get
h=65
k=10

Answer:
53°
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that the total measurement of the two angles combined would equate to 116°.
It is also given that m∠WXY is 10° more then m∠ZXY.
Set the system of equation:
m∠1 + m∠2 = 116°
m∠1 = m∠2 + 10°
First, plug in "m∠2 + 10" for m∠1 in the first equation:
m∠1 + m∠2 = 116°
(m∠2 + 10) + m∠2 = 116°
Simplify. Combine like terms:
2(m∠2) + 10 = 116
Next, isolate the <em>variable</em>, m∠2. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.
First, subtract 10 from both sides of the equation:
2(m∠2) + 10 (-10) = 116 (-10)
2(m∠2) = 116 - 10
2(m∠2) = 106
Next, divide 2 from both sides of the equation:
(2(m∠2))/2 = (106)/2
m∠2 = 106/2 = 53°
53° is your answer.
