1st equation: 2x + 7y = 2
2nd equation: x + y = -1

find x using the 2nd equation:
x + y = -1
x = -y - 1

Substitute x by its value in the 1st equation to find the value of y.
2x + 7y = 2
2(-y-1) + 7y = 2
-2y -2 + 7y = 2
-2y + 7y =2 + 2
5y = 4
y = 4/5

Substitute the value of y in the value of x formula
x = -y -1
x = -4/5 - 1
x = -4/5 - (1*5/5)  *to have the same denominator
x = -4/5 - 5/5
x = (-4-5)/5
x = -9/5

To check: x = -9/5 ; y = 4/5

x + y = -1
-9/5 + 4/5 = -9+4/5 = -5/5 = -1

2 (-9/5) + 7(4/5) = 2
-18/5 + 28/5 = -18+28/5 = 10/5 = 2

Answer:

  (x +5)^2 = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

We can subtract the constant to get ...

  x^2 +10x = -27

Then add the square of half the x-coefficient:

  x^2 +10x +5^2 = -27 +5^2

  (x +5)^2 = -2 . . . . . . write as a square

Kay [80]

Finishing the angles of the smaller triangle if E is 90 and F is 30 then G needs to be 180-90-30 = 60 degrees.

Angles G and C are supplementary angles which need to equal 180 degrees

Angle c = 180-g = 180-60 = 120

Angle c = 120 degrees.
