Answer:
Kim is 3, Tom is 12
Step-by-step explanation:
4x + x = 15
combine like terms
5x = 15
divide both sides by five
x = 3
The equation for finding the slope of a line is
. After substituting in the points, we get
As with any triangle, the sum of angles is 180°.
(a)
(x -5) +(3x +30) +35 = 180 . . . . . sum of angles is 180
4x +60 = 180 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . collect terms
4x = 120 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 60
x = 30 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 4
(b)
Angle A = x -5 = 30 -5 = 25
Angle B = 3x +30 = 3*30 +30 = 120
