5 times a number plus two is 17

5(x) + 2 = 17

isolate the x, do the opposite of PEMDAS 

(Note: What you do to one side you do to the other, because of equal sign)

5x + 2 (-2) = 17 (-2)

5x = 15

5x/5 = 15/5

x = 3


hope this helps

I need help! This pattern repeats every 4 terms. The pattern is square, hexagon, trapezoid, triangle. What is the shape in the 7
alina1380 [7]
<h3>Answer:  Trapezoid</h3>

==========================================================

Explanation:

There are two ways to do this problem.

Method 1 involves listing out the terms until we reach the seventh one.

  1. square
  2. hexagon
  3. trapezoid
  4. triangle
  5. square
  6. hexagon
  7. trapezoid
  8. triangle

We see that the trapezoid is term 7.

-------------

Method 2 is faster and the one I recommend.

Since the pattern repeats every 4 items, this means we divide by 4 and look at the remainder. Ignore the quotient entirely.

7/4 = 1 remainder 3

The remainder 3 means that the answer is found in term 3, which is the trapezoid.

BC and DF are parallel lines. B is a point on AD and E is a point of DF. BD=BE. work out angle DBE give a reason. ITS ON MATHSWA
zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

(Angle DBE) ∠DBE = 50°

Step-by-step explanation:

It is crucial for us to be able to interpret plane geometry related question in order to solve them efficiently.

From the question given; we have analysed and come up with a diagrammatic expression and mathematical solution that clearly explains the question .

Given that

BC and DF are parallel lines.

B is a point on AD  

B is a point on AD

BD=BE

work out angle DBE and give a reason.

The diagram can be seen in the attached image below.

SInce ∠BD = ∠DE

Then triangle BDE is an isosceles triangle. In an isosceles triangle ; two sides are equal in length.

The sum of angles in an isosceles triangle = 180° (sum of angles in a triangle)

So;

∠BDE + ∠BED + ∠DBE = 180° (sum of angles in a triangle)

From the diagram; we will see that ∠ABC = ∠BDE  (corresponding angle)

Since ; ∠ABC is not given and which is needed to solve this question.

Let's just assume that ∠ABC is 65° , the main thing is to be able to interpret and understand the concept of the question.

Now;

Since

∠ABC = ∠BDE  

∠ABC  = 65°

∠BDE  = 65°

Again;

∠BDE + ∠BED + ∠DBE = 180° (sum of angles in a triangle)

∠BDE will be aso equal to  ∠BED ; this is because since the length of the opposite sides of the isosceles triangle are equal, their angles will also be equal.

Therefore;

65° + 65° + ∠DBE = 180° (sum of angles in a triangle)

130 ° + ∠DBE = 180° (sum of angles in a triangle)

∠DBE = 180° - 130°

∠DBE = 50°

The figure shows a large triangle divided into two smaller triangles what is the value of x in the figure
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

40

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the other missing angle, which is supplementary to 100 first.

Supplementary angels are a sum of 180

The missing angle is 180-100 = 80

Now use that to find missing angle x

All angles in the triangle have a sum of 180

180 = 60+80+x

180-60-80=x

40 = x

Answer:

The slope of line A is C. 2

Step-by-step explanation:

You can check the slope by dividing the rise (how many units up) and the run (how many units across). This line has a rise of rise of 4 and a run of 2. Diving 4 by 2 gives you a slope of 2.
