The measures of the three angles of a triangle are given by 2x + 6, x, and 3x.
What is the measure of the largest angle?

Step-by-step explanation:

The angles in a triangle must add to 180 degrees.

We are given three angles: 2x+6, x, and 3x. Their sum must be 180, so we can create an equation.

Combine like terms (all terms with an x) on the left side.

Now solve for x by isolating the variable.

6 is being added and the inverse of addition is subtraction. Subtract 6 from both sides.

x is being multiplied by 6. The inverse of multiplication is division. Divide both sides by 6.

Substitute 29 for x in the angle measures.

The largest angle is 87 degrees.

step-by-step explanation:

{x = -1/2 ,   y = -1

step-by-step explanation:

solve the following system:

{2 x + y = -2

{10 x - 3 y = -2

in the first equation, look to solve for y:

{2 x + y = -2

{10 x - 3 y = -2

subtract 2 x from both sides:

{y = -2 x - 2

{10 x - 3 y = -2

substitute y = -2 x - 2 into the second equation:

{y = -2 x - 2

{10 x - 3 (-2 x - 2) = -2

10 x - 3 (-2 x - 2) = (6 x + 6) + 10 x = 16 x + 6:

{y = -2 x - 2

{16 x + 6 = -2

in the second equation, look to solve for x:

{y = -2 x - 2

{16 x + 6 = -2

subtract 6 from both sides:

{y = -2 x - 2

{16 x = -8

divide both sides by 16:

{y = -2 x - 2

{x = -1/2

substitute x = -1/2 into the first equation:

{y = -1

{x = -1/2
