Answer:
An equation is 92 + 2x = 180.
The congruent angles each measure 44°.
Step-by-step explanation:
1. If two angles in a triangle are congruent and unknown, we can represent that as 2x. That means 92 + 2x = 180.
2. To find the measure of each congruent angle, x, we have to solve the equation above.
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
Step 2: Subtract 92 from both sides.
Step 3: Divide both sides by 2.
x = 44 means that the congruent angles each measure 44°.
Answer:
(x, y) = (2, -3/4)
Step-by-step explanation:
The point of the "elimination" technique is to combine the equations in a way that eliminates one of the variables. Sometimes this involves multiplying one or both of the equations by constants before you add those results together. In any event, the first step is to look at the coefficients of the variable terms to see if there is a simple combination of them that will result in zero.
The y terms have coefficients that are opposites of each other (4, -4), so you can simply add the two equations to eliminate y as a variable.
(2x +4y) +(x -4y) = (1) +(5)
3x = 6 . . . . . simplify
x = 2 . . . . . . divide by 3
Now, you find y by substituting this value into one of the equations. I would choose the equation with the positive y-coefficient:
2(2) +4y = 1
4y = -3 . . . . . . subtract 4
y = -3/4
Then the solution is ...
(x, y) = (2, -3/4)
