It quickly becomes apparent that 174 is much too large, so n must be 144.The value of the n is 144.

Taking the given equation modulo 2,3, and 5, respectively, we have

n⁵≡(mod 2)

n⁵≡(mod 3)

n⁵≡( mod 5)

By either Fermat's Little Theorem (FLT) or inspection, we get

n≡(mod 2)

n≡(mod 3)

n≡( mod 5)

By either the Chinese Remainder Theorem (CRT) or inspection, we get n≡ 24 ( mod 30)

It is clear that n>133, so the possible values for n are 144,174,204,...Note that

n⁵ = 133⁵ + 110⁵ + 84⁵ + 27⁵

n⁵ < 133⁵ + 110⁵ +( 84 + 27)⁵

n⁵ =133⁵ + 110⁵ + 111⁵

n⁵ < 3.133⁵

From which (n/133)⁵ < 3

If n>= 174 then,

(n/133)⁵ > 1.3⁵

(n/133)⁵ = 3

which arrives at a contradiction. Therefore, we conclude that n=144

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is part of the Isosceles Triangle Theorem. If one theta is equal to the other theta (and they are or else they wouldn't both be theta; one would be theta and the other might be beta), that means that the sides across from those congruent angles are also congruent. That means that

6x + 6 = 9x - 9 and

15 = 3x so

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

4x -20 + 3x +12 = 90

7x -8 = 90

7x = 98

x = 14

Angle F: 4(14) -20 = 36

Angle E: 3(14)+12= 54
