On the bottom line, the 106 and number 1 make a straight line and needs to equal 180 degrees.
This means number 1 = 180-106 = 74 degrees.
Because x and y are parallel, the top outside angle is the same as number 1.
6x +8 = 74
Subtract 8 from both sides:
6x = 66
divide both sides by 6:
x = 66 / 6
x = 11
Now you have x, replace x in the equation for 7x-2 to find that angle:
7(11) -2 = 77-2 = 75 degrees.
The three inside angles need to equal 180 degrees.
Angle 2 = 180 - 74 - 75 = 31 degrees.
A rational number is any number that can be expressed as a fraction
(ex: -5/2, 4 1/7, and 8/13)
An irrational number is any number that cannot be expressed as a fraction; a non-repeating, non-terminating decimal (ex: pi, 0.121231234...)
Hope this helps! :)
Ratios are proportional if they represent the same relationship. One way to see if two ratios are proportional is to write them as fractions and then reduce them. If the reduced fractions are the same, your ratios are proportional. To see this process in action, check out this tutorial!

-8
f(x) is y, in which x is the independent variable
when x = 5, y = -8
