Mathematics

sasho [114]2 years ago

\frac{ab}{2} = 2a - 1

2(\frac{ab}{2}) = 2(2a - 1) <em>multiplied both sides by 2 </em>

ab = 4a - 2 <em>distributed the 2 on the right side</em>

ab - 4a = -2 <em>subtracted 4a from both sides</em>

a(b - 4) = -2 factored out "a" from the left side

a = \frac{-2}{b - 4} <em>divided (b - 4) on both sides</em>

Answer: a = \frac{-2}{b - 4}

Solve for x. what are the measures of the two angles shown? show your work​
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

x = 34

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a straight line so the sum of angles must be 180°

4x + 20 + x - 10 = 180 add like terms

5x + 10 = 180 subtract 10 from both sides

5x = 170 divide both sides by 5

x = 34

To calculate each angle we replace x with the value we found

4x + 20 ➡ 4×34 + 20 = 156

x - 10 ➡ 34 - 10 = 24
