Answer:
Below in bold.
Step-by-step explanation:
Because the 2 sides marked with the double lines are equal:
5y-1 = 2y+11
3y = 12
y = 4.
Also :
3x-5 + 2(2x+5) = 180
3x - 5 + 4x + 10 = 180
7x = 180 + 5 -10
7x = 175
x = 175/7 = 25.
Answer:
x = -1.5
General Formulas and Concepts:
<u>Pre-Alg</u>
- Order of Operations: BPEMDAS
- Equality Properties
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define equation</u>
0.2x + 1 = 1.6x + 3.1
<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>
- Subtract 0.2x on both sides: 1 = 1.4x + 3.1
- Subtract 3.1 on both sides: -2.1 = 1.4x
- Divide both sides by 1.4: -1.5 = x
- Rewrite: x = -1.5
<u>Step 3: Check</u>
<em>Plug in x to verify it's a solution.</em>
- Substitution: 0.2(-1.5) + 1 = 1.6(-1.5) + 3.1
- Multiply: -0.3 + 1 = -2.4 + 3.1
- Add: 0.7 = 0.7
Note: complementary angles are two angles whose sum is 90⁰
