Answer:

X=3, y=-6

Step-by-step explanation:

7x+4y=-3 equation 1

-7x-5y=9 equation 2

-y=6. Add above two equations

Y=-6

solve for x by inputting y value into either equation.

7x+4(-6)=-3

7x-24=-3

7x=21

x=3

check answer by inputting x and y values into either equation

-7x-5y=9

-7(3)-5(-6)=9

–21+30=9

9=9

Answer:

1) $65\textdegree$

2) $44\textdegree$

3) $107\textdegree$

4) $82\textdegree$

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Since the whole angle is $180\textdegree$ , and to find the other angle, which is labeled as $x$ , you subtract $115\textdegree$ from $180\textdegree$ :

$180 - 115 = 65$

$x = 65\textdegree$

2) Since you already have two angle measures $46\textdegree$ and $90\textdegree$ , you add them up and subtract it from $180\textdegree$ to get the angle measure for $x$ :
