The picture is unclear so I cannot really help. I'm sure I could if it was clearer though.
I'm going to use the substitution method.
If y = - 3/2 - 7, then:
1/2x + 5 = - 3/2x - 7
Combine like terms:
4/2x = - 12. Mutiply both sides by 2/4 to get x = -12 (2/4)
Simplify to get:
x = - 6.
Plug - 6 back in for x in either equation.
Y = 1/2( - 6) + 5 which becomes Y = - 3 + 5.
X = - 6, Y = 2
Since the diagram represents parallel lines cut by a transversal line, the angles formed by these lines follow a series of rules. One of them is that corresponding angles are equal. Corresponding angles can be identified because they are located in the same position on different "crosses" formed by lines. In this case, angle x and the angle labeled 83° are corresponding angles and are therefore equal. We then know that angle x is 83° so choice B is correct.
I hope this helps.
If you are solving for x than the answer would be x=4.
0.2:1
I divided 3 by 15 and got 0.2 and then divided 15 by 15 to get one
