Question
∠𝐴 & ∠𝐵 are complementary. ∠𝐵 & ∠𝐶 are complementary. Prove: ∠𝐴 ≅ ∠𝐶
Hint:
If sum of two angles is 90°, we say they are complementary angles
The correct answer is: ∠𝐴 ≅ ∠𝐶
SOL – It is given that ∠𝐴 & ∠𝐵 are complementary
∠A + ∠B = 90° ---- (1)
Also, 𝐵 & ∠𝐶 are complementary
∠B + ∠C = 90° ---- (2)
From (1) and (2)
We get, ∠A + ∠B = ∠B + ∠C
∠A = ∠C
∠𝐴 ≅ ∠𝐶
Hence Proved.

Solve the following by using the method of substitution
Y = - 2X-3
Y = - X-4
Ans :- x = 1 ; y = -5
Explanation :-
⇒ y = -2x - 3 — eq 1
⇒ y = -x - 4—- eq 2
Step 1 :- find x by substituting y = 4x + 2 in eq 2.
-2x - 3 = -x – 4 ⇒ 2x + 3x + 4
⇒ 2x – x = 4 - 3 ⇒ x = 4 - 3
⇒ x = 1
Step 2 :- substitute value of x and find y
⇒ y = - x – 4 ⇒ y = -1 - 4
∴ y = - 5
∴ x = 1 and y = - 5 is the solution of the given pair of equations.
Explanation :-
⇒ y = -2x - 3 — eq 1
⇒ y = -x - 4—- eq 2
Step 1 :- find x by substituting y = 4x + 2 in eq 2.

Solve the system of equations by elimination :

SOLUTION:
HINT: Perform any arithmetic operation and then find.
Complete step by step solution:
Let x - 2y = 1…(i)
and 2x + 3y=-12….(ii)
On multiplying (i) with 2, we get 2(x - 2y = 1)
⇒ 2x - 4y = 2…(iii)

HINT – Try to recall definition of postulates/properties given in options.
SOL – Option (b)
Segment addition postulate – It states that if a line segment has two endpoints, A and C, a third point B lies on the line segment AC if and only if this equation AB + BC = AC
Since in figure given above, line segment has two end points namely P and R and third point Q lies on the line segment PR Þ PR = PQ + QR

Solve the system of equations by elimination :
X - 2Y = - 2
3X + 2Y = 30
SOLUTION:
HINT: Perform any arithmetic operation and then find.
Complete step by step solution:
Let x - 2y = - 2…(i)
and 3x + 2y = 30….(ii)
On adding (i) and (ii),
we get LHS to be x - 2y + 3x + 2y = 4x
and RHS to be -2+ 30 = 28
On equating LHS and RHS, we get 4x = 28
⇒ x = 7
On substituting the value of x in (i), we get 7 - 2y = - 2
⇒ - 2y = - 2 - 7
⇒ - 2y = - 9
⇒ y =
Hence we get x = 7 and
Note: We can also solve these system of equations by making the coefficients of x
to be the same in both the equations.

Solve the following by using the method of substitution
Y = 4X+2
Y = X+8
Solution :-
Hint :- find x by substituting y (in terms of x) in the equation and find y by substituting value of x in the equations .
Ans :- x = 2 ; y =10
Explanation :-
⇒ y = 4x + 2 — eq 1
⇒ y = x + 8—- eq 2
Step 1 :- find x by substituting y = 4x + 2 in eq 2.
4x + 2 = x + 8 ⇒ 4x – x = 8 - 2
⇒ 3x = 8 - 2 ⇒ 3x = 6
⇒ x =2
Step 2 :- substitute value of x and find y
⇒ y = x + 8 ⇒ y = 2 + 8
∴ y= 10
∴ x = 2 and y = 10 is the solution of the given pair of equations.
