To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:
1- You have that the equation of the line is:
Where 
is the slope and
is the y-intercept.
2- Based on the information given in the problem, the lines 
and
are parallel, which means that both have the same slope. Therefore, you can calculate the slope of 
:
3- Use the coordinates of the point 
to calculate the y-intercept:
4. Solve for :
5. The equation of the line is:
The answer is:
For 1 multiply both sides by 3 which gives you 3y-y=12. Then combine like terms 2y=12. Lastly divide both sides by 2 and you get y=6. And for 3 first multiply both sides by 4 which gives you 6y-32=y+8. After that combine like terms 6y-y-32=8. Now add the equation together 5y=40 and then divide by 5 and get y=8
I think it would be A but I'm not sure ._.
Y - 4.5 = 12.2
your solving for y which means your trying to get rid of 4.5 so that y can equal something. The opposite of -4.5 would be +4.5, so you would add 4.5 to both sides to get
y = 16.7
So your answer would be
A. Add 4.5
and also dont' say your stupid because all you need is a little explanation and you'll get it, its very easy you just need to take the time to practice :-)
Answer:
∠a = 10°
Step-by-step explanation:
The measure of ∠a = x
The measure of ∠b = 4x-30
It is also mentioned that the measure a and measure b are vertical angles. We need to find the value of a.
For vertically opposite angles,
∠a = ∠b
x = 4x-30
or
4x-30=x
Taking like terms together,
4x-x= 30
3x = 30
x = 10
So, the meausre of ∠a is equal to 10°.
