Answer:
x=36
Step-by-step explanation:
The 2 angles, ∠EAF and ∠FAB are on a straight line. This means they are supplementary, and add to 180 degrees.
So,
∠EAF +∠FAB =180
We know that ∠EAF is 3x and ∠FAB is 2x, so we can substitute them in
3x+2x=180
Combine like terms
5x=180
Divide by 5 on both sides
x=36
So, x=36 degrees, or the last choice
Answer:
No solution
Step-by-step explanation:
Note how "2x" shows up in both equations. This suggests doing a substitution to solve the system.
Focus first on the first equation. Solving 2x - y = 7 for 2x, we get:
2x = y + 7.
Next, we substitute y + 7 for 2x in the second equation:
y = (y + 7) + 3.
Simplifying this produces:
0 = 10
This is not true and can never be true. Thus, this system has no solution.
