Find the value of x and y

Mathematics
1 answer:
kotykmax [81]3 years ago

Answer:

x = 8

y = 29

Step-by-step explanation:

By verticle angles theorem, the angles with the measure of ( 4x + 17 ), and the angles with the measure of ( y + 20 ) are equal.

Verticles angles theorem states, when two lines intersect, there are four angles formed. The angles opposite to each other will have the same measure or congruent measures.

Hence one can say that;

4x + 17 = y + 20

Inverse operations;

4x + 17 = y + 20

     -17          -17

4x = y + 3

-3      -3

4x - 3 = y

Assuming that lines "m" and "n" are parallel, then the angles with the measure of ( 5x + 9 ) and the angles with the measure of ( y + 20 ) are congruent.

When two lines are parallel and are intersected by another line (transversal line), then the angles that are alternate and interior are congruent, in other words,  the same measure.

Based on that, one can say;

5x + 9 = y + 20

Earlier it was found that;

y = 4x - 3

Now substitute that into the previous equation, and solve using simplification and inverse operations;

5x + 9 = 4x - 3 + 20

5x + 9 = 4x + 17

     -9          -9

5x = 4x + 8

-4x   -4x

x = 8

Back solve to find y

y = 4x - 3

y = 4(8) - 3

y = 32 - 3

y = 29

Lisa claims that when multiplying any number between 0 and 10 by 100, the product is greater than 100. What is a possible number
dlinn [17]
The number is 1. 1 multiplied by 100 gives 100 as answer. Lisa claims that <span>when multiplying any number between 0 and 10 by 100, the product is greater than 100. In this case the answer is equal to 100 not greater than 100. 

So this proof shows that Lisa's claim is not correct. </span>

Thomas decides on a destination for his vacation. If he takes the train there, it will take 5 1/8 hours to get there. If he take
Allisa [31]

Answer: 2 11/24

Step-by-step explanation:

How many hours does the plane save?

Time taken for the train = 5 1/8

Time taken for the plane = 2 2/3

The number of hours saved will then be:

= 5 1/8 - 2 2/3

Let the lowest common multiple be 24

= 5 3/24 - 2 16/24

= 2 11/24

The number of hours saved by the plane will be 2 11/24

the temperature at noon was -27 degrees . the temperature increased by 13 degrees by 2pm . what was the temperature at 2pm
Aleks [24]
First, you would create an equation for this problem. 
-27 + 13

Now, all you would have to do is solve it. 
-27 + 13 = -14

By 2 pm the temperature was -14 degrees. 

I hope this helps!
