-7x - 2y = 19
4x + y = -12
Set y equal to each other (opposite signs are fine and you could also set x equal instead of y)
-7x - 2y = 19
8x + 2y = -76
Add equations together
x = -52
Plug x value into an equation
4(-52) + y = -12
Solve for y
-208 + y = -12
y = 196
Hope this helps! ;)
Answer: 
Step-by-step explanation:
Having the following equation given in the exercise:

You can solve for "a" following this procedure:
1. You can apply the Subtraction property of equality and subtract
from both sides of the equation:

2. Now you must subtract the terms on the left side of the equation. Notice that the Least Common Denominator is "d". Then:

3. Finally, you can apply the Multiplication property of equality and multiply both sides of the equation by "b". So, you get:

Answer:
55
Step-by-step explanation:
there are two ways to answer : since angle 1 and the 125 degree angle are a linear pair, you can do 180-125 = 55, or, since the three angles in the triangle always add up to 180, you can do 180-37-88 = 55.
