Answer:
x= -13
y= -28
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the two numbers, write a system of equations with x as one number and y as another:
x-y=15
5x=2y-9
Use substitution to substitute one equation into another. Then solve for the variable.
x=15+y into 5x=2y-9
becomes
5(15+y) = 2y-9
75+5y = 2y- 9
75+3y= -9
3y = -84
y= -28
To find x, substitute y= -28 into one equation.
x - (-28) = 15
x+28 =15
x = 15-28
x=-13
Answer:
x=3
z=65
Step-by-step explanation:
6x+97 and 14x+73 are vertical angles which means they are equal
6x+97= 14x+73
Subtract 6x from each side
6x-6x+97= 14x-6x+73
97 = 8x +73
Subtract 73 from each side
97-73 = 8x+73-73
24 = 8x
Divide each side by 8
24/8 = 8x/8
3 = x
Now we need to find z
6x+97 and z are supplementary angles which means they add to 180
6x+97 +z = 180
6(3) +97 +z = 180
18+97+z=180
Combine like terms
115+z = 180
Subtract 115 from each side
115-115 +z=180-115
z = 65
Answer:
x = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the lines are parallel, we know that the two angles are equal. So you can write (7x - 4) = (5x + 10). Then you just solve for x.
7x - 4 = 5x + 10
add 4 from both sides to get
7x = 5x + 14
subtract 5x from both sides to get
2x = 14
divide both sides by 2 to get
x = 7
