Question

Find the Value of X and Y. (Unit 3, Lesson 10.( Parallel and Perpendicular Lines). Picture attached in comments.

Answer 1

Ok, from that picture we know a couple things.

\(2x+7=3x-7\)
AND
\((2x+7)+(12y+1)=180\)

Do you understand where I got these from?

Answer 2

Yes.

Answer 3

@austinL

Answer 4

Now in the second line, can you solve for x?

Answer 5

I'm not sure how to do that :I

Answer 6

Excuse me, first line solve for x :$ my bad.

Answer 7

\(2x+7=3x−7\)
\(7+7=3x-2x\)
\(14=x\)

Do you think you could solve for y now?

Answer 8

Isn't that what you just did? lol.

Answer 9

I said second line earlier, that has two variables, and x and a y. The first line has only x's. Now you can solve for y in the second line

Answer 10

B?

Answer 11

B?

Answer 12

The answer is B, right? lol

Answer 13

Oh, duh, didnt even notice that there were choices :P

I don't think it is B.

Answer 14

Boo. I suck! lol.

Answer 15

No you don't, it just takes practice!

Try again,

\(x=14\)

\((2x+7)+(12y+1)=180\)

Now substitute that in,

\((2(14)+7)+(12y+1)=180\)

and solve for y!

Answer 16

Oh, okay! That make more sense. lol. One sec.

Answer 17

It's C! x=14 and y=12.

Answer 18
