How do I solve this question?

Before attempting to solve this question, we must first know three things.

1. A straight line has a measure of 180 degrees.

2. When two angles add up to 180 degrees, those angles are called supplementary.

3. The interior angles of a triangle add up to 180 degrees.

We can see ∠ECT = 180 degrees.

∠DCT is supplementary to ∠DCE.

∠DCT = 140 degreees
∠DCE = x degrees

x + 140 = 180

Solve for x.

x + 140 = 180
x = 40 <-- Subtract 140 from each side

∠DCE = 40 degrees

We know the two interior angles of ΔDEC.

45 + 40 + x = 180

Solve for x.

45 + 40 + x = 180
85 + x = 180 <-- Combine like terms
x = 95

So, the missing angle is equal to 95 degrees.

the sum of three numbers is 79. The second number is 5 times the first, while the third is 16 more than the first. Find the Numb
faust18 [17]
Let the 1st number be x; 2nd number be y; 3rd number be z.

x + y + z = 79

x = number we are looking for.
y = x * 5 ==> 5 times the first
z = x + 16 ==> 16 more than the first

Therefor,

x + (x * 5) + (x+16) = 79

1st step, multiply the 2nd number: x * 5 = 5x

x + 5x + x + 16 = 79

Add all like numbers:

7x + 16 = 79

To get x, transfer 16 to the other side and change its sign from positive to negative.

7x = 79 - 16
7x = 63

To get x, divide both sides by 7

7x/7 = 63/7
x = 9

To check. Substitute x by 9.

x + (x * 5) + (x+16) = 79

9 + (9 * 5) + (9 + 16) = 79
9 + 45 + 25 = 79
79 = 79 equal. value of x is correct.

Two parts Someone please help!!!!!
aivan3 [116]

Answer:

Part one: The function rule for the area of the rectangle is A(x) = 3x² - 2x

Part two: The area of the rectangle is 8 feet² when its width is 2 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume that the width of the rectangle is x

∵ The width of the rectangle = x feet

∵ The length of the rectangle is 2 ft less than three times its width

→ That means multiply the width by 3, then subtract 2 from the product

∴ The length of the rectangle = 3(x) - 2

∴ The length of the rectangle = (3x - 2) feet

∵ The area of the rectangle = length × width

∴ A(x) = (3x - 2) × x

→ Multiply each term in the bracket by x

∵ A(x) = x(3x) - x(2)

∴ A(x) = 3x² - 2x

∴ The function rule for the area of the rectangle is A(x) = 3x² - 2x

∵ The rectangle has a width of 2 ft

∵ The width = x

∴ x = 2

→ Substitute x by 2 in A(x)

∵ A(2) = 3(2)² - 2(2)

∴ A(2) = 3(4) - 4

∴ A(2) = 12 - 4

∴ A(2) = 8

∴ The area of the rectangle is 8 feet² when its width is 2 feet

2(3/5x+3). How would I get that answer
Airida [17]

Answer: \frac{6}{5}x + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

       We will use the order of operations, also known as PEMDAS. See attached. Please note that we cannot do what is in the parentheses first because we have a variable, so we will distribute the 2 into it. Since this is an expression, I do not believe we can fully solve for x, but can only simplify.

       Given:

2(3/5x+3)

       Distribute:

2 * (3/5x) + (2 * 3)

6/5x + 6

       Answer:

\frac{6}{5}x + 6
