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

The ratio of the ages of two children is 2:3. If the younger child is 4 years old, how old is the other child?
vladimir1956 [14]
So if the ratio is 2:3, then the younger child would represent the 2. so it would be 2:3 is 4:x. Thereby, the answer would be 6, because of proportions. To check, simplify 4:6, and you would get 2:3.

Cuantos múltiplos de 9 hay entre 60 y 100
slega [8]

Answer: 5 multiples of 9

Step-by-step explanation:

First take the difference between 100 and 60.

100-60=40

Then divide the difference by 9.

40/9=4.44

4.44 rounded up is 5 ==> 5 multiples of 9

Primero toma la diferencia entre 100 y 60.

100-60=40

Luego divide la diferencia entre 9.

40/9=4,44

4.44 redondeado es 5 ==> 5 múltiplos de 9

Answer:

Line DG is equal to 16

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that

In a parallelogram, opposite sides are congruent.

Line DG is congruent to line FE, so they must have sides of equal length.

4z-48=z

4z=z+48

3z=48

48/3=z

16=z

Now we know that the variable is 16 increments, so we sub the 16 in for z in line DG

4(16)-48

64-48=16

Line DG is equal to 16
