Question

In the figure above, what is the value of x+y?

Answer 1

Answer: 550°

Step-by-step explanation: First, it is visible that y° is split into 3 parts by the "X" shape in the figure. y° completes the circle/360° that x° is making, showing that the answer must be greater than 360°, as we now have to figure out what the rest of y° added to 360° is. The rest of y° is equal to 180°, or the angle of the straight line. So, x+y=550°.

If this explanation is a bit difficult to understand, please look at the picture below:

The red parts of the diagram represent the full circle, or 360°, and the blue part of the diagram is the rest of y°, which equals to 180°.

Answer 2

To find x+y, we would substitute a value for x in the equation y=9+3x, solve for y, and then sum the values of x and y. Since no specific value for x is given, we cannot provide a definitive answer for x+y.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the value of x+y, we first need to understand the equation provided: y = 9 + 3x. This equation indicates a linear relationship between x and y, where 9 is the y-intercept (b term), and 3 is the slope (m term) of the line. To determine specific values of x and y, we would substitute different values of x into the equation and solve for y, and then add those values to obtain x+y. However, the question does not provide a specific value for x, so a general solution is not possible without additional information.

To construct a table of values (Table A1), we select various values for x, calculate the corresponding y values, and then plot these points (x, y) on a graph (Figure A1). The line that passes through these points represents the equation y = 9 + 3x. If we have a specific value for x, we can recalculate y using the provided equation and then find x+y as required.

For example, if x=1, then y = 9 + 3(1) = 12. Thus, x+y would be 1 + 12 = 13. However, without a given value for x in the question, we cannot provide a definitive answer for x+y.
