Answer:
x = 21
Step-by-step explanation:
If RECT is a rectangle, each of its interior angles are right angles, 90°. Since ∠RTC is split into two angles, the sum of the two angles must be 90°. (Angles that add to 90° are called complementary angles).
∠RTC = ∠RTE + ∠ETC Formula for complementary angles
90 = 2x + 6 + 42 Substitute the angles
90 = 2x + 48 Combined like terms to simplify
Now isolate "x" to solve
90 - 48 = 2x + 48 - 48 Subtract 48 from both sides
42 = 2x
42/2 = 2x/2 Divide both sides by 2
x = 21
Therefore x is 21.
Answer:
1) The equation 1/8(x+16)=76/8 represents the situation, where x is the food bill.
2) The solution x=60 represents the total food bill.
These both answers are correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since there are 8 group of friends, and the total amount spent by them is $76 including the tip i.e $16.
If x is the food bill our equation can be:
(x+16)/8 = 76/8
Solving the equation
(x+16)/8 = 9.5
x+16= 9.5*8
x= 76 -16
x= 60
The food bill is x=60.
Since ZY bisects GE and XY bisects EF, and both ZY and XY both bisect GF, then XY ~ ZE and ZY ~ XE.
Therefore ZE = XY = 5
And GE = 2× ZE (because bisected segments are = and therefore ×2 = long segment).
So GE = 2ZE = 2×5 = 10
