I am not going to give you the answer, but I am going to tell you how to do it. You first put 18 over 1, and multiply that by one half. (You multiply across.)
Answer:
y = -4
Step-by-step explanation:
-2x + 5y = 8
Let x=-14
-2(-14) +5y = 8
28 +5y = 8
Subtract 28 from each side
28-28 +5y = 8-28
5y = -20
Divide by 5
5y/5 = -20/5
y = -4
X will equal 40.
EXPLANATION: since they’re parallel and these are opposite angles, add them together to equal 180.
x+(20)+3x=180.
add common variables.
4x+20=180
subtract 29 from both sides
4x=160
divide each side by 4 so isolate x
x=40
It would be the one with the greater numerator 6/6 would be greater than 5/6
3-7 is -4 so it becomes -4x=4 divide both sides by 4 to get -x=-1 a lot of teachers dont like that negative x so you can also divide by -1 again to make it x=1
hope it helps
