<span>If 3 is added to the number: x + 3
b) ...and the sum is tripled.. 
"The sum" is "x + 3" so: 3(x+3)
c) ...the result is 27 more than the number.
27 more than the number is x + 27 
d) Put it all together:
3(x + 3) = x + 27 
Solve for x: 
1) Distribute the left side of the equation:
3x + 9 = x + 27

2) Subtract x from each side of the equation:
2x + 9 = 27
3) Subtract 9 from each side of the equation:
2x = 18
4) Solve for x:
x = 9 
Check: 
1) x = 9
2) 3(x + 3) = x + 27
3) 3 ([9] + 3) = [9] + 27
4) 3(12) = 9 + 27
5) 36 = 36 

So, therefore The answer is correct</span>

If these 2 triangles are similar to each other, the corresponding sides have to exist in proportion to one another. The angles would be exactly the same (side length doesn't matter at all!). Going from the bigger triangle to the smaller, KL corresponds to RS; LJ corresponds to SQ; JK corresponds to QR. The ratio of KL:RS is 5:1; the ratio of LJ:SQ is 5:1; the ratiio of JK:QR is 5:1. That means that the sides are all proportionate and the triangles are similar by the SSS postulate. Now that we know that the triangles are similar, we can say that all the corresponding angles are the same by CPCTC but we had to determinte side similiarity first. Your answer is the second choice, SSS

Given that A, O &amp; B lie on a straight line segment, evaluate obtuse ∠AOC.
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

AOC = 124°

Step-by-step explanation:

Angle on a straight line is 180°, therefore, the sum of the three angles shown is 180;

This can be written like so:

(3x + 94) + (x + 30) + (2x - 4) = 180

This equation can be solved to find x:

6x + 120 = 180

6x = 180 - 120

6x = 60

x = 10

AOC = 3(10) + 94

= 30 + 94

= 124
