2x -4y=8 and 3x + 6y = 36

x=8 and y=2

Step-by-step explanation:

To find 2x-4y=8 and 3x+6y=36

Solve simultaneously

Using elimination method

6x-12y=24

6x+12y=72

To eliminate x

-24y=-48

Divide through by -24

y=2

To get x

Substitute for y in equation 1

2x-4(2)=8

2x=8+8

2x=16

Divide through by x

x=8

i will pick c put check it over to be sure

step-by-step explanation:

second option

step-by-step explanation:

the measures of a triangle equal 180. use that to find x.

2x+3x+4x=180

9x=180

9x/9=180/9

x=20

now you know x, you know angle a is 40°, angle b is 60°, angle c is 80°.

because angle a is 40°, the first option doesn't work.

because angle b is 60°, the second option does work.

when you add angle a and b, you get 100°. complementary means it equals 90°, so the third option doesn't work.

when you add angle a and c, you get 120°, which is not 100.
