Answer:

x = -11

Step-by-step explanation:

Add 9 to both sides of the equation

3 − 9 = −42

3 − 9 + 9 = −42 + 9

Simplify

Add the numbers

3 = −33

Divide both sides of the equation by the same term

3 = −33

3/3 = −33/3

Simplify

Cancel terms that are in both the numerator and denominator

Divide the numbers

= −11

kirill [66]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

since they are both equal to 'y', you can eliminate the y but letting the value of y equal to each other

if they are not both equal to 'y', then solve the equation by putting y itself on 1 side

1. sub y=-2x into 2nd equation

-2x = 3x + 25

then solve for x

-5x = 25

x= -5

2.

y-2 =12x

y = 12x +2

(sub this equation into y=x+2)

12x + 2 = x + 2

11x = 4

x = 4/11

hope this makes sense, please let me know if it doesn't and i'll help out some more

i'm not that great at explaining, sorry

PLEASE HELP I AM BEING TIMED!!
arsen [322]

Step-by-step explanation:

On each side of this quadrilateral, you have supplementary angles, in other wourds, angles that sum up to <em>one hundred eighty degrees</em>:

\displaystyle 180° = [3y + 14]° + [10y - 29]° \\ 180° = [-15 + 13y]° \\ \frac{195}{13} = \frac{13y}{13} \\ \\ 15 = y; 59° = [3(15) + 14]° \\ \\ \\ \\ 180° = [5x - 2]° + [x + 14]° \\ 180° = [12 + 6x]° \\ \frac{168}{6} = \frac{6x}{6} \\ \\ 28 = x; 138° = [5(28) - 2]°

I am joyous to assist you at any time.
