Is this all there is to the question????
We'll use Cramer's rule for 2 equations:
ax + by = e
cx + dy = f
5x -3y = 18 a=5 b=-3 e=18
2x + 7y = -1 c=2 d=7 f=-1
denominator determinant (dn) = (a * d) - (c * b) = 5 * 7 - (2 * -3) = 41
x = [(e * d) - (f * b)] / dn
[18 * 7 - (-1 * -3)] / 41 =
123 / 41 = 3
y = [(a * f) - (c * e)] / dn
= (5 * -1) -(2 * 18) / 41 =
-41 / 41 = -1

You have to combine like terms.
Answer: -2a+7
$6.75 + $4.25 = $10.00
$15.95 - $10.00 = $5.95
The answer is $5.95
A straight angle is equal to 180 degrees. 180-80=100. 100-60=40. so y=40. vertical angles are congruent so x=40 degrees.
