Answer:

x = 3/2

y = 5/2

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = 4

x = y - 1


substitute y - 1 in for x in the first equation, to find y


y - 1 + y = 4

2y - 1 = 4


add 1 on both sides

2y - 1 = 4

+1 +1

2y = 5


divide by 2 on both sides

2y/2 = 5/2

y = 5/2


subtitute y in for the second equation, to find x

x = 5/2 - 1

x = 5/2 - 2/2

x = 3/2


so x = 3/2 and y = 5/2

to double check, plug x and y in the first equation

3/2 + 5/2 = 4

8/2 = 4

4 = 4

Find the lettered angles in each of the following.
trapecia [35]

Answer:

q = 80 degrees

r = 70 degrees

s = 10 degrees

t = 70 degrees

u = 40 degrees

v = 60 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

starting with the fact that all angles in any triangle always sum up to 180 degrees :

q = 180 - 60 - 40 = 80 degrees

r = 180 - (60+10) - 40 = 180 - 70 - 40 = 70 degrees

the triangle 40-60-q and v-u-blank are similar triangles. your can say the smaller triangle is just a projection of the large triangle through the focal point at angle q.

that means the angles must be equal.

v = 60 degrees

u = 40 degrees

similar for 10-r-blank and t-s-blank.

s = 10 degrees

t = 70 degrees
