Answer:
see below
Step-by-step explanation:
Put -1 where x is in each expression and evaluate it.
__
You will find that the expression is zero when the numerator is zero. And you will find the numerator is zero when it has a factor that is equivalent to ...
(x +1)
Substituting x=-1 into this factor makes it be ...
(-1 +1) = 0
__
Evaluating the first expression, we have ...

This first expression is one you want to "check."
You can see that the reason the expression is zero is that x+1 has a sum of zero. You can look for that same sum in the other expressions. (The tricky one is the one with the factor (x -(-1)). You know, of course, that -(-1) = +1.)
Answer:
x = 45º
Step-by-step explanation:
well since a triangle has to equal 180º
then we just have to subtract 88º and 55º from 180º
180 - 80 - 55 = 45
therefore, x = 45
the ratio is 24:30
or the simplified version is 4:5
Right triangles. This only works if it's a right triangle, cuz right triangles have hypotenuses.
