Describe and correct the error in finding the measure of the angle

Mathematics
1 answer:
DerKrebs [107]3 years ago
5 0

Sorry, it's late, and I'm a bad explainer.

The error is adding (2x-12) with x and 30. This is wrong because you are adding the angles inside the triangle and you are assuming that (2x - 12) is the unlabeled angle INSIDE the triangle, when it is the exterior angle/outside of the triangle.

A straight line is also 180°.

(2x - 12) + ? = 180

30 + x + ? = 180

If you look at the equations, and put parentheses around 30 + x, (30 + x) and (2x - 12) should be the SAME NUMBER. So you could set them equal to each other to find x. (or you could also look at the picture and see that they both need/are missing the same angle)

2x - 12 = 30 + x

x = 42

Now you plug 42 into the exterior angle equation

2(42) - 12 = 84 - 12 = 72°

Cross multiply to get answer<br> x + 5/10 = 2x-3/15

Once cross multiplied you end up with this:

15x+75=20x−30

Next subtract 20x from both sides.

15x+75−20x=20x−30−20x

−5x+75=−30 -----------> Answer

Now subtract 75 from both sides

−5x+75−75=−30−75

−5x=−105

Now divide by -5 on both sides.

-5/-5x = -105/-5

Perform the indicated operations; reduce the answer to lowest terms.
kow [346]

a. 9/10

explanation:

• the denominators (bottom number) are the same so there is no need to change to a common factor

• because the fractions have common factors, you add the top numbers (3+6) to get 9

• then you put the top number over the 10 (9/10) and it’s simplified as much as possible

b. 3/4

explanation:

• each denominator (bottom term) is a factor of 12 so you have to change each fraction to #/12

• to change 1/3, you multiply the top and bottom numbers by 4 (1x4 & 3x4 = 4/12)

• to change 1/4, you multiply the top and bottom numbers by 3 (1x3 & 4x3 = 3/12)

• to change 1/6, you multiple the top and bottom numbers by 2 (1x2 & 6x2 = 2/12)

• then you add each of the top numbers (4+3+2) and put it over the common denominator (12) to get 9/12

- both 9 & 12 are divisible by 3, so you simply by dividing both by 3 to get 3/4

c. 1/3

explanation:

•the denominators are the same, so you subtract 5-3 without changing the denominator & you get 2/6

• then, because both numbers are divisible by 2, you divide both by 2 and get 1/3
