What is the solution to the following question

Mathematics
1 answer:
Anastaziya [24]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

2(x + 1) = 3(5 - x) + 2

Distribute,

2(x + 1) = 3(5 - x) + 2

2x + 2 = 3(5 - x) + 2

Rearrange terms,

2x + 2 = 3(5 - x) + 2

2x + 2 = 3(-x + 5) + 2

Distribute,

2x + 2 = 3(-x + 5) + 2

2x + 2 = -3x + 15 + 2

Add the numbers,

2x + 2 = -3x + 15 + 2

2x + 2 = -3x + 17

Subtract 2 from both sides,

2x + 2 = -3x + 17

2x + 2 - 2 = -3x + 17 - 2

2x  = -3x + 17 - 2

2x  = -3x + 15

Add 3x to both sides,

2x  = -3x + 15

2x + 3x  = -3x + 3x + 15

5x  = -3x + 3x + 15

5x  =  15

Divide both sides by the same factor (15),

5x  =  15

5x/5 = 15/5

x = 15/5

x = 3

Hence, the answer is 3.

Two angle of a tranigle measure 55 and 20 what is the measure of the third angle
wariber [46]

Answer:

105 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that the sum of angles in a triangle is 180 degrees. As such, where a, b and c are the angles of a triangle then

a + b + c = 180 ( all in degrees)

Given that two angles of a triangle measure 55 and 20, let the size of gthe 3rd be T then

55 + 20 + T = 180

simplify

75 + T = 180

Subtract 75 from both sides

T = 180 - 75

T = 105
