1 answer:

7 0

-2 = -(x-8)
-2 = -x + 8 ( - * + = - and - * - = + )

-2 - 8 = -x +8 - 8
-2 - 8 = -x
-(2+8) = - x
-10 = -x | * (-1)

x=10

Find the value of x

fgiga [73]

$\qquad \qquad \bf \huge\star \: \: \large{ \underline{Answer} } \huge \: \: \star$

x = 35°

$\textsf{ \underline{\underline{Steps to solve the problem} }:}$

$\qquad❖ \: \sf \:4x + 1 + x + 4 = 180$

[ by linear pair ]

$\qquad❖ \: \sf \:5x + 5 = 180$

$\qquad❖ \: \sf \:5(x + 1) = 180$

$\qquad❖ \: \sf \:x + 1 = 180 \div 5$

$\qquad❖ \: \sf \:x + 1 = 36$

$\qquad❖ \: \sf \:x = 36 - 1$

$\qquad❖ \: \sf \:x = 35$

$\qquad \large \sf {Conclusion} :$

x = 35°

Consider to circular swimming pools.Pool A has a radius of 12 feet and Pool B has a diameter of 7.5 meters which pool has a grea

mamaluj [8]

C = Pi * d where C = circumference, d = diameter, r = radius

C = 2*pi *r

we need to watch the units since they are different

Pool A

C = 2 * pi * r

C = 2 * pi * 12 = 24 * pi in feet

Pool B

C = pi * d

change meters to feet

7.5 m * 3.28 ft/ 1 m = 24.6 ft

C = pi * 24.6 = 24.6* pi in ft

Pool B had a greater circumference

24.6 * pi > 24 pi
