The 2 angles are complementary angles and need to equal 90 degrees.
Making an equation we have:
4x-10 + x = 90 degrees
Add like tems:
4x +x = 5x
Now we have:
5x-10 = 90
Add 10 to both sides:
5x = 100
Divide both sides by 5:
x = 100/5
X = 20
Answer:
x = 14
Step-by-step explanation:
2x+4 - 12 = 20
2x - 8 = 20
2x = 28
x = 14
<h3><u>The first number, x, is equal to 7.</u></h3><h3><u>The second number, y, is equal to 2.</u></h3>
x + 2y = 11
2x + y = 16
We can subtract 2y from both sides of the first equation to get a value for x.
x = 11 - 2y
Because we have a value for x, we can plug it into the second equation.
2(11 - 2y) + y = 16
Distributive property.
22 - 4y + y = 16
Combine like terms.
22 - 3y = 16
Subtract 22 from both sides.
-3y = -6
Divide both sides by -3.
y = 2
Now that we have a value for y, we can plug it into either equation to solve for x.
x + 2(2) = 11
x + 4 = 11
Subtract 4 from both sides.
x = 7
