RSTU is an isosceles trapezoid with bases RS and TU. Find x and m/S if m/R=4x +11 and m/T=2x-5.

$\angle R$ and $\angle S$ are supplementary by the same-side interior angles theorem, and $\angle S \cong \angle T$ because of the properties of an isosceles trapezoid, meaning that $\angle R$ and $\angle T$ are supplementary.

$4x+11+2x-5=180\\\\6x+6=180\\\\6x=174\\\\x=\boxed{29}\\\\\implies m\angle S=m\angle T=2(29)-5=\boxed{53^{\circ}}$

Irina18 [472]

Answer:

x = -5 and x+1( consecutive integer) = -4

obviously x is smaller than the next integer

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first integer be x

hence the consecutive integer is x +1

according to the give condition

x + 6(x + 1) = -29

x + 6x + 6 = -29

7x = -29 -6

7 x = -35

x = -35/7

x = -5

x + 1 = -5 + 1 = -4

GOOD LUCK FOR THE FUTURE! : )

Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

y = 0.15x+77 is the equation linear connecting total cost y and miles driven x

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the leasing company charged a flat rental fee for the week, plus a charge for each mile driven.

Let flat rental fee be c and cost per mile driven = m and miles driven = x

Total cost =y

Then y = mx+C is the linear equation.

to find m and c, we use the fact that y =110.30 when x = 222

i.e. 110.30 = c+222x

and similarly 99.05 = c+147x

Subtract to eliminate c

11.25 = 75 x

0.15 =x

Substitute in I equation

110.30 = c+222(0.15)

c = 77

Hence y = 0.15x+77 is the equation linear connecting total cost y and miles driven x
