<u>Given</u>:
The given figure shows the intersection of the two lines.
The angles formed by the intersection of the two lines are (3x - 8)° and (2x + 12)°
We need to determine the equation to solve for x and to find the value of x.
<u>Equation to solve for x:</u>
Since, the two angles (3x - 8)° and (2x + 12)° are vertically opposite angles and the vertical angles are always equal.
Hence, we have;
Thus, the equation to solve for x is
<u>Value of x:</u>
The value of x can be determined by solving the equation
Thus, we have;
Thus, the value of x is 20.
Answer:
see the explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x ----> the number of hours Eli worked
y ----> the number of hours Samantha worked
we know that
Eli and they ironed 400 shirts between them
so
----> equation A
Samantha worked 2 more hours than Eli
so
----> equation B
solve the system by substitution
substitute equation B in equation A
solve for x
Find the value of y
substitute the value of x in equation B
therefore
The number of hours Eli worked was 6 and the number of hours Samantha worked was 8
So, there are 4 solutions.
It has to be one of the negative answers. I’m not sure which one but I am sure it’s a negative number. :)
