Answer:

y = -13.5

x = -10.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

Let the two numbers be equal to <em>x</em> and <em>y</em>.

The difference of two numbers is 3 ⇒ x - y = 3

Their sum is - 24 ⇒ x + y = -24

Solve using elimination:

x - y = 3

x + y = -24

Add the two equations:

x + x - y + y = 3 - 24

2x = -21

x = -10.5

Solve for y:

-10.5 - y = 3

- y = 3 + 10.5

y = -13.5

I hope this helps!

Answer:

m<A=94

Step-by-step explanation:

(2x+10)+(2x+2)=180

4x+12=180

-12 -12

4x=168

/4 /4

x=42

m<A= 2x+10

m<A=2(42)+10

m<A=84+10

m<A=94

Check:

Add m<A and m<B which should equal 180.

m<B=2x+2

m<B=2(42)+2

m<B=84+2

m<B=86

94+86=180

10) Find the measure of angle D. Hint: you must do two math problems to solve
NISA [10]

Answer:

Option A.) 43°

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 10)

step 1

Find the length of side EG

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

we know that

In the right triangle EGF

cos(65^o)=\frac{EG}{EF} ----> by CAH (adjacent side divided by the hypotenuse)

substitute the given values

cos(65^o)=\frac{EG}{11}

solve for EG

EG=(11)cos(65^o)\\EG=4.65\ cm

step 2

Find the measure of angle D

In the right triangle DEG

tan(D)=\frac{EG}{DG} ----> by TOA (opposite side divided by adjacent side)

substitute the given values

tan(D)=\frac{4.65}{5}\\\\D=tan^{-1}(\frac{4.65}{5})=43^o
