Answer:

a = 33

Step-by-step explanation:

IN a parallelogram consecutive angles are supplementary, thus

5a - 52 + 5a - 98 = 180, that is

10a - 150 = 180 ( add 150 to both sides )

10a = 330 ( divide both sides by 10 )

a = 33

It's a parallelogram so the each side is a transverse across two opposite parallel sides, so make the usual congruent and supplementary angles.

Here we have T and U must be supplementary angles because they're consecutive interior, if I remember the term.

T + U = 180°

5a - 98° + 5a - 52° = 180°

10a = 180° + 98° + 52° = 330°

a = 33°

Answer: 33°

What was the equation of the graph below before it was shifted to the right 1 unit? (equation was g(x)=(x-1.5)^3-(x-1.5))

harina [27]

If graph of the function y=f(x) was shifted to the right 1 unit, then you got new function y=f(x-1).
Reversly, if you have the function $g(x)=(x-1.5)^3-(x-1.5)$ that is obtained by shifting to the right 1 unit, then the initial function was

$g(x+1)=(x+1-1.5)^3-(x+1-1.5), \\ g(x+1)=(x-0.5)^3-(x-0.5)$ .
Answer: Correct choice is D.
