Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
In the left problem, you use the fact that <em>the sum of the segment lengths is equal to the overall length</em>.
AC +CB = AB
(3x -4) +(x -2) = 62
4x -6 = 62 . . . . . collect terms
4x = 68 . . . . . . . add 6
x = 17 . . . . . . . . . . divide by 4

In the right problem, you use the fact that <em>the sum of the angles is equal to the overall angle</em>. Here, that overall angle is a linear angle, so measures 180°.
∠DFG +∠GFE = ∠DFE
(5y +3) +(2y -5) = 180
7y = 182 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . collect terms, add 2
y = 26 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .divide by 7
Answer:
x = 0
y = 5
z = -5.
Step-by-step explanation:
X-5y-z=-20
-2x-y-6z=25
-x-4y-z=-15
Add equation 1 and 3:
-9y - 2z = -35 .......... A
Multiply the first equation by 2:
2x - 10y - 2z = -40
Now add this to equation 2:
-11y -8z = -15.............B
Now multiply equation A by -4:
36y + 8x = 140.........C
Add equations B and C:
25y = 125
y = 5.
Substitute for y in equation A:
-9*5 - 2z = -35
2z = -45 + 35 = - 10
z = -5.
Now find x by substituting for y and z in the first equation:
x - 5(5) - (-5) = -20
x - 20 = -20
x = 0.
Answer:
the answer is gonna be d
Step-by-step explanation:
Opposites.
Their sum is zero so they are called opposites.
let x represent granddaughter and x +2 for grandson and together they = 12
so then we have the equation of x+2+x = 12
combine like terms 2x +2 =12
-2 from both sides to isolate x
2x=10 divide both sides by 2 to get x by itself
so we get x = 5 then add 2 +5=7
so grandson is 7 and granddaughter is 5
