R * s = 273
r = s - 8.....s = r + 8

r(r + 8) = 273
r^2 + 8r = 273
r^2 + 8r - 273 = 0
(r - 13)(r + 21) = 0

r - 13 = 0
r = 13

r + 21 = 0
r = -21.....extraneous solution...not ur answer

r = 13
s = r + 8 = 13 + 8 = 21

so there are 13 rows.....each row containing 21 seats

Y = x + 3 is the answer

the y-intercept is 3, so the answer should have a "+ 3" in it

when you are trying to determine the gradient (the x), you can use two methods

first method:
picture/sketch the line. If the line is going upwards (from left to right), it's positive. If the line is going downwards (from left to right), it's negative. However, this method only works for this question, you should try using the second method more

second method:
use the formula: (y - y) / (x - x)
So, you use the y from one of the brackets and subtract the y from the other bracket. Then, you put it over the x ,from the same bracket as the first y, and subtract the x from the second bracket. If you are confused, look at the picture. (Sorry for the messy explanation)

ZA and ZB are supplementary angles. If mZA = (x + 6) and m
Ronch [10]

Answer:

za=24

Step-by-step explanation:

supplementary angles add up to equal 180

180=7x+x+30+6

step 1 combine like terms

180=8x+36

step 2 subtract 36 from each side

144=8x

step 3 divide each side by 8

x=18

now we just plug in 18 to x in x+6

18+6=24

Pls help I don't understand this

<h3>Answer:</h3>

<u>By angle bisector property</u>,

  • 11x + 23 = 8x + 35
  • 11x - 8x = 35 - 23
  • 3x = 12
  • x = 4°

So, <u>m∠ABD</u> = 8x + 35

  • 8 × 4 + 35
  • 32 + 35 = 67°

<u>m∠CBD</u> = 11x + 23

  • 11 × 4 + 23
  • 44 + 23 = 67°

<u>m∠ABC</u> = 67° + 67° = 134°

Alright, lets say the measure of the 3rd angle (the smallest one) is  x degree, then measure of the 1st angle will be (x + 25) degree, and 2nd one: 3x degree. The sum of all the angles in any triangles is 180 degrees.

(x + 25) + 3x + x = 180

5x + 25 = 180 ---> 5x = 180 - 25 ---> 5x = 155 ---> x = 155/5 ---> x = 31o (third angle)

31 + 25 = 56o (first angle)

3 × 31 = 93o (second angle)

56 + 93 + 31 = 180
