Given that x + y = 180, p + q = 180, and p = x. Show that y = q.
Which step would be used to prove the argument?
A) x + p = 180
B) x + y = p + q
C) y + q = 180
D) 2x + 2y = 180

Respuesta :

x + y = 180
p + q = 180
p = x
Show that y = q

x = 180 - y
p = 180 - q

p = x
180 - q = 180 - y
-q = 180 - y - 180
-q = -y
-q/-1 = -y/-1
q = y  OR y = q

x + y = p + q   CHOICE B.
180 - y + y = 180 - q + q
180 = 180
