Slope: -1
Y intercept: -4 aka (0,-4)

The general equation is y=mx+b
m is the constant for the slope of the line
b is the y intercept (when x=0)

How do i solve this?

Ierofanga [76]

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

−36=p−30

Step 2: Flip the equation.

p−30=−36

Step 3: Add 30 to both sides.

p−30+30=−36+30

p=−6

Answer:

x = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Extend line AB so that it intersects ray CE at point G. Then angles BGC and BAD are "alternate interior angles", hence congruent.

The angle at B is exterior to triangle BCG, and is equal to the sum of the interior angles at C and G:

138 = (376 -23x) +(x^2 -8x)

Subtracting 138 and collecting terms we have ...

x^2 -31x +238 = 0

For your calculator, a=1, b=-31, c=238.

<em>Additional comment</em>

You will find that the solutions to this are x = {14, 17}. You will also find that angle BCE will have corresponding values of 54° and -15°. That is, the solution x=17 is "extraneous." It is a solution to the equation, but not to the problem.

For x=14, the marked angles are A = 84°, C = 54°.

Help, I’m stuck. Thank you very much

If you notice, the container is really just two circles, with a diameter of 4 each, and a square with sides of 10.5.

now, if we just get the area of each circle, keeping in mind their radius is half of the diameter, namely r = 2, and get the area of the 10.5x10.5 square, sum them up, that'd be the surface area of the container.

$\bf \stackrel{\textit{2 circle's area}}{2(\pi r^2)}~~+~~\stackrel{\textit{area of the square}}{10.5\cdot 10.5}
\\\\\\
\stackrel{\textit{2 circle's area}}{2(\pi 2^2)}~~+~~\stackrel{\textit{area of the square}}{10.5\cdot 10.5}\implies 8\pi + 110.25$
