Solve: x - 5y = 6 for x.
(9th-grade Algebra 1)

The fourth answer option is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

x - 5y = 6transpose -5y to the other side and change the negative sign to positive

x = 5y + 6

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.
