Question

5. For which values of x and y are lines p and q parallel?

Answer 1

Ok, I am horrible with the name of these laws and such...

But I believe these are true.

\((26y)^{\circ}+(16x+2)^{\circ}=180^{\circ}\)

\((16x+2)^{\circ}+(45x-5)^{\circ}=180\)

\((26y)^{\circ}=(45x-5^{\circ})\)

Do you think you can solve for the values from what is given here?

Answer 2

Would I combine the like terms?

Answer 3

@austinL

Answer 4

In the second line, you should be able to solve for \(x\).

Then from there, you should be able to solve for \(y\).

Answer 5

So I would plug in the x value and then I should be able to get y? I am horrible at geo..

Answer 6

In this line,

\((16x+2)+(45x−5)=180\)

How would you solve for x?

Answer 7

Combine terms,

61x-3=180 Right?

And then add 3 to each side

61x=183

and then divide by 61

which equals 3


am I right???

Answer 8

@austinL

Answer 9

Indeed, \(x=3\)

Now how would you solve for \(y\)?

Answer 10

I would plug in 3 to the x values, and then subtract that product from 180? and then what ever is left divide by 26?

Answer 11

Yep, now how would you do this? :)

Answer 12

Well I got 5 for the first one.

Answer 13

and 1.92 for the third one?

Answer 14

It is 5, you should get the same thing for both.

Answer 15

Oh wait, I did the third one wrong. They are both equal to each other in the last one, right? 130?

Answer 16

Yep, you should get \(y=5\)

Answer 17

Okay! Wanna help me with some more or no?

Answer 18

@austinL

Answer 19

I can try one more.

Answer 20

Okay, one sec

Answer 21

@austinL

Answer 22

Ok, look at the x values of those two points. What do you see?

Answer 23

They are both -2?

Answer 24

Right, so that means that that would be a vertical line...
What of those choices is a vertical line?

Answer 25

y=-2?

Answer 26

That would be a horizontal line.

Answer 27

Well I know it wouldn't be y=x.. right?

Answer 28

or the 3x-5 either.. I don't think

Answer 29

\(3x=5\)

Solve for \(x\).

Answer 30

Im confused..

Answer 31

If I solved for x I got 1.66 @austinL

Answer 32

Or, \(x=\dfrac{5}{3}\)

What does that mean? If y=? is a horizontal line... x=? would be??

Answer 33

the same?

Answer 34

No, it would be a vertical line. Make sense? it is a line without a slope.

Answer 35

okay, so x=y is the correct answer?

Answer 36

no......

Answer 37

Oh wait im confusing my self.. its 3x=5? @austinL

Answer 38

It is indeed!

Answer 39

Okay thanks so much!!!!

Answer 40

no problem!

Answer 41

@heyy_girl_heyy was the answer to that problem x=3 and y =5 people are tellingme other wise?
