Answer:

X= -4

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello. For to solve that, you need to use the sustitution method:

1. You need clear X in the first equation and put in the second

X+Y = -10

X = -10-Y

2.  Y = X-2, then you replaced the X in this equation:

Y = (-10-Y) - 2

Y+2=-10-Y

2Y=-10-2

2Y= -12

Y= -12/2

Y=-6

3. Now you use the Y value for to solve X:

X=-10-Y, then

X =- 10-(-6)

X = -4

Plug in x-2 for y
x + x - 2 = -10
2x = 12, x = 6
The value of x is 6

Please help! Name an angle adjacent and congruent to angle AOC ( diagram in picture)
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

Angle DOC

Step-by-step explanation:

Since angle AOC and angle DOC are ajacent angles that form a straight line, they are supplementary to each other.

By the definition of supplementary angles, you can determine that angle AOC + angle DOC = 180.

Also notice that angle DOC is a right angle (90 degrees), so you can also determine that angle AOC is also a right angle since they are supplementary.

2x^2 - 7x - 6 = 0

x1 = \frac{- b  +  \sqrt{ {b}^{2} - 4ac }}{2a}
x2 = \frac{- b   -   \sqrt{ {b}^{2} - 4ac }}{2a}
where a=2
where b=-7
where c=-6

solve for x1 and x2

x1=4.21
x2=-0.71
