Answer:

x = 22°

∠PQS = 112°

∠SQR = 68°

Step-by-step explanation:

Since ∠PQR is a straight angle, it is equal to 180°. This means that ∠PQS and ∠SQR added together is also equal to 180°.

∠PQS + ∠SQR = 180°

(6x - 20) + (3x + 2) = 180°

6x + 3x + 2 - 20 = 180°

9x - 18 = 180°

9x = 198°

x = 22

Now, we can substiute x into ∠PQS and ∠SQR.

∠PQS

(6(22) - 20)

∠PQS = 112°

∠SQR

(3x + 2)

(3(22) + 2)

∠SQR = 68°

Answer:

x = 22

PQS = 112

SQR = 68

Step-by-step explanation:

Straight angles equal to 180 degrees

(6x - 20) + (3x + 2) = 180

9x - 18 = 180

9x = 198

x = 22

Which expression is equivalent to -1/2 (1/4 x - 3/8). SHOW WORK

Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

A. -1/8 x + 3/16

Step-by-step explanation:

Distribute -1/2 over the parentheses

-1/2 ( 1/4 x - 3/8 )

-1/2 (1/4 x) - 1/2 (-3/8 )

multiply fractions to simplify

-1/8 x + 3/16

Darren bought some paint. He used 2 1/4 gallons painting his living room. After that, he had 3 5/6 gallons left. How much paint

Otrada [13]

Answer: $6\frac{1}{12}\ gallons$

Step-by-step explanation:

We can make the conversion from mixed numbers to improper fractions:

Multiply the whole number part by the denominator of the fraction.
Add the numerator of the fraction and the product obtained (This sum will be the new numerator).
The denominator is the same.

Then:

$2\frac{1}{4}=\frac{(2*4)+1}{4}=\frac{9}{4}\\\\3\frac{5}{6}=\frac{(6*3)+5}{6}=\frac{23}{6}$

We need to add the fractions in order to calculate the amount of paint Darren bought. Since the denominators are differente, we must find the Least Common Denominator (LCD):

$4=2*2=2^2\\\\6=2*3\\\\\\LCD=2^2*3=12$

Then:

$\frac{9}{4}+\frac{23}{6}=\frac{27+46}{12}=\frac{73}{12}\ gallons$

To convert this improper fraction to a mixed number:

When you divide 73 by 12 you get a quotient of 6. This will be the whole number.
The remainder obtained is 1. This will be the numerator of the fraction.
The denominator does not change.

Then:

$\frac{73}{12}\ gallons=6\frac{1}{12}\ gallons$
