Answer:
I just had this problem on a test! I hope this helps, i will attach a picture of my messy work, but hopefully that will give you an idea on how do do it!
How to Solve!-
Repeat this distance formula for each side
Answer:
b)Add the equations to eliminate x.
Step-by-step explanation:
y= x+20
y= - x+2
Result of the addition: (-x cancels x)
2y = 22
y =11
11=x +20 -9 = x
11=9+2
11 = -9 +20
Hi there!
First we need to remember the following.

Now substitute both of the formulas.

Work out the parenthesis.

And finally collect terms.

~ Hope this helps you!
First, set 2x+7 equal to 3x-7 since they are the same angle due to the parallel lines.
2x+7=3x-7
x=14
Then, since 2x+7 and 12y+1 equals 180, put it together to find y:
(2x+7)+(12y+1)=180
(2(14)+7)+(12y+1)=180
12y+1=145
12y=144
y=12
So, x=14 and y=12. Your answer should be C!
