Please help me to solve this question ​

x = 64°, y = 32°

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the angles on a straight line = 180° , then angles on PS are

2x + y + 20 = 180 ( subtract 20 from both sides )

2x + y = 160 → (1)

Angles on QT are

x + 3y + 20 = 180 ( subtract 20 from both sides )

x + 3y = 160 → (2)

Solve (1) and (2) simultaneously

Rearrange (1) expressing y in terms of x by subtracting 2x from both sides

y = 160 - 2x → (3)

Substitute y = 160 - 2x into (2)

x + 3(160 - 2x) = 160 ← distribute and simplify left side

x + 480 - 6x = 160

- 5x + 480 = 160 ( subtract 480 from both sides )

- 5x = - 320 ( divide both sides by - 5 )

x = 64

Substitute x = 64 into (3)

y = 160 - 2(64) = 160 - 128 = 32

Then

x = 64°, y = 32°

the largest number of the four options is 1.8 x 10-2

you have it in scientific notation.

1.80 x 10-6   = 0.00000180

1.80 x 10-4   = 0.000180 (bigger, or "less small", than the former one)

so

1.8 x 10-2       = 0.0180. as you see. the "less small", or the biggest one of them all.

as you have negative exponent, it means you are dividing 1.8 by 100 (i.e. moving the dot towards left, two times).

if you had positive exponent for the scientific notation, power of tenths, you would be multiplying times 100 (moving the dot towards right) as below:

1.8 x (10)2 = 180

so. if you have negative exponent in scientific notation, move the dot toward left. if it is positive, toward right as many times the exponent tells you.
