Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

4x - 5y = 18 → (1)

3x - 2y = 10 → (2)

Multiplying (1) by 3 and (2) by - 4, then adding will eliminate the x- term

12x - 15y = 54 → (3)

- 12x + 8y = - 40 → (4)

Add (3) and (4) term by term to eliminate x, that is

- 7y = 14 ( divide both sides by - 7 )

y = - 2

Substitute y = - 2 into either of the 2 equations and solve for x

Substituting into (1)

4x - 5(- 2) = 18

4x + 10 = 18 ( subtract 10 from both sides )

4x = 8 ( divide both sides by 4 )

x = 2

solution is (2, - 2 ) → D

Answer:

136=x

Step-by-step explanation:

When an angle is shown, the one opposite of it is equal to the forst equation. The bottom angles are equal to 360ñ so if you take 46x2=92. Subtract 92 by 360 to get 268. Divide it by 2 to get one of the bigger angles, which is 134 degrees. And as for the top, one angle on the bottom is equal to the same spot on the top. so, 136=x
