Algebra.Com's Answer #98413 by dbashant(7)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Angle x and angle y are supplementary, so x + y = 180. \n" ); document.write( "angle x is 9 more than twice angle y, so x = 2y + 9. \n" ); document.write( "substituing 2y + 9 for x in the first equation, we get (2y + 9) + y = 180.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Solve for y - 2y + 9 + y = 180 add the y's together \n" ); document.write( " 3y + 9 = 180 subtract 9 from each side \n" ); document.write( " 3y = 171 divide both sides by 3 \n" ); document.write( " y = 57 \n" ); document.write( "So, if x + y = 180 then x + 57 = 180 and x = 123 \n" ); document.write( "So x = 123. And y = 57.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "To check - Is 123 9 more than twice 57? (2 X 57) + 9 = 114 + 9 = 123 CHECK! \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
