My answer is the 2nd option.
Without changing the compass setting from the previous step, place the compass on point P. Draw an arc similar to the one already drawn.
Parallel lines are lines that do not meet. In this figure, point P is the point where the 2nd line can be drawn and become parallel to line AB.
The place value 8 in 281,480,100 is the 10th. And it is the same way in the other problem. How you get your answer is by counting like this EX: 1, 10, 100, 1,000, 10,000, 100,000... And so on.
Answer:


<u>Group the Variable's</u>:
2 x - 5 + 7 y - 3 = 9 x - 1 - y -8
2x -9x + 7y +y = -1 -8 +5 + 3
-7x + 8y = -1
<u><em>From this find x and y</em></u>
<u>For X</u>
-7x + 8y = -1
-7x = -1 -8y
7x = 8y + 1
x = (8y +1)/7
<u>For Y</u>
-7x + 8y = -1
8y = -1 +7x
y = (7x -1)/8
