Again, your getting lost in the numbers. just think simply. a triangle has 180° and equilateral means all angles are exactly the same. Because of this, you know that m,n&o all equal 60°.

now it gets a little more complex when you split that to the smaller triangle and each of those have 180° within them.

it's safe to say that N is splitting it's full 60° equally between the three within it. making each one of the points at N equal to 20°. so solve for the rest to get y°.

We know M= 60°, O= 60°, N= 60° (20°,20°,20°) so to complete the triangle on the left we have one more angle that must be 100°. to complete the triangle on the right we have one more angle that must be 100° and to complete the center triangle we only know of 20° but have two equal angles left. So 180°-20°=160°. 160°÷2angles= 80° per angle to complete the center triangle.

that gives us y°=80°.

the X's are adding the smaller triangles to make the bigger triangle. so take 2x+4x+2x and divide that from the big triangle 180°. 8x=180° means x°=22.5°

1. Choose the description that matches the inequality. x < 1

Answer:

A line traveling to the left with an open dot on x=1.

Explanation:

The inequality x < 1 basically means "less than 1." On number lines, the further left you go, the smaller the number becomes, and the further right you go, the larger the number becomes. So we know that because it's less or smaller than 1, then the line will be to the left. On the other hand, the inequality does not have a line under it to indicate a "less than or equal to 1," just "less than." Therefore, the dot is open. If there were a line under the inequality, then it would indicate "less than or equal to 1" and the dot would be closed.
