Answer + Explanation:
let x be the measure of angle x
let y be the measure of angle y

Now, solve:
plug x = 24 + y into x + y = 180
24 + y + y = 180
24 + 2y = 180
2y = 156
y = 78
Now, plug this back into the equation x = 24 + 78
x = 102
I'm pretty sure the answer is 15 base-ten blocks
Answer: 4.2 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
So she ran 6 miles in 50 minutes how long will she run in 35 minutes?
So the equation will therefore be:
6=50
x=35
Cross multiply
6 x 35 = 50x
210 = 50x
Divide both sides by 50
The answer is 4.2 miles
Answer:
a = 10
Step-by-step explanation:
From the solution given, x = a and y = -1
Substitute for x and y in either of the equations
y = -x + 9
-1 = -a + 9
a = 9 + 1 = 10
