Answer:
36
Step-by-step explanation:
2x is an exterior angle
Exterior angles = the sum of the two remote (unconnected - non supplementary interior angles).
Put symbolically
<LEG = <EGF + <EFG
<EFG = 180 - 4x In this case you need to find the supplemtnt
<LEG = x + 180 - 4x
2x = 180 - 3x Add 3x to both sides
5x = 180 Divide by 5
x = 36
The answer to the problem is 28.
Answer:
Harriet is 16 years of age
Step-by-step explanation:
(x-5)+x=37
2x=42
x=21
21-5=Harriet's Age
Answer:
b = 10
Step-by-step explanation:
The area (A) of a triangle is calculated as
A =
bh ( b is the base and h the height )
Here h = 3x + 15 and A = 15x + 75, thus
× b × (3x + 15) = 15x + 75
Multiply both sides by 2 to clear the fraction
b(3x + 15) = 30x + 150
Divide both sides by (3x + 15)
b =
← factor numerator and denominator
=
← cancel the factor (x + 5) on numerator/denominator
= 
= 10
