Question

Brainly to whomever somehow solves for x. I WILL REPORT SCAMS AND UNHELPFUL "WHAT?" ANSWERS.

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I would have thought the answer would be whole numbers...

using top line....

5x-5y + 7x-15 = 180 (that is a line)

12x - 5y = 195

using bottom line

4x+ 4y +2x+ y = 180

6x + 5y =180

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

12x - 5y = 195

6x + 5y =180

(fives cancel)

18x = 375

x = 20.83

y= 11

Answer 2

Answer:

x=125/6

y=11

Step-by-step explanation:

Same side interior angles have a sum of 180 if the transversal passes through a pair of parallel lines.

So we have the following two equations:

7x-15+5x-5y=180

4x+4y+2x+y=180

Let's simply(combine like terms):

12x-5y-15=180

6x+5y=180

Add 15 on both sides for first equation:

12x-5y=195

6x+5y=180

Equations are set up so we can use linear combination or elimination (adding equations together to eliminate y):

18x=375

Divide both sides by 18:

x=375/18

Simplify (reduce fraction):

x=375/18 ÷3/3=125/6

Now let's go back and find y using either equation:

6x+5y=180 with x=125/6

6(125/6)+5y=180

125+5y=180

5y=180-125

5y=55

y=11

x=125/6 and y=11
