Algebra.Com's Answer #768822 by Theo(13342) You can put this solution on YOUR website! if the angles are supplementary, then their sum is 180 degrees. \n" ); document.write( "you get 5x - 2y + 20 + x = 180 \n" ); document.write( "combine like terms to get 6x - 2y + 20 = 180 \n" ); document.write( "subtract 20 from both sides of this equation to get 6x - 2y = 160 \n" ); document.write( "add 2y to both sides of this equation and subtract 160 from both sides of this equation to get 6x - 160 = 2y \n" ); document.write( "divide both sides of this equation by 2 to get 3x - 80 = y \n" ); document.write( "that should be your solution because that is the value of y in terms of x. \n" ); document.write( "the solution is y = 3x - 80.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
