Answer:

x=-2

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey there!

In order to solve this equation, you need to combine like terms

The equation after combining the x terms and the contants will look like this

10x+3=12x+7

Now you have to take 10x away from both sides

3=2x+7

Now bring all the constants to the left side

3-7=2x

Simplify

-4=2x

divide 2 on both sides to get x by itself

x=-2

So, the answer is x=-2

Solve with a system of equations: Two angles are supplementary if the sum of their measures are 180 degrees. If one is 90 degree

julsineya [31]

Answer:

The measures of the angles are 150° and 30°.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x and y represent the measures of the angles, with x representing the larger angle.

x + y = 180 . . . . . . the two angles are supplementary

x = 90 + 2y . . . . . one is 90° more than twice the other

___

Substituting the expression given by the second equation into the first, we have ...

(90 +2y) +y = 180

3y = 90 . . . . . . . . . . collect terms, subtract 90

y = 30 . . . . . . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of y

x = 180 -y = 150

The measures of the angles are 150° and 30°.
