The sum of 6 times a position number and 1 is the same as the sauare of 1 less than the number

1 answer:

5 0

If the number is x, then:
6x+1= (x-1)^2

Now we just need to simplify it
6x+1=(x-1)*(x-1)
6x+1=x^2-2x+1
8x=x^2
8=x

The number is 8.

To check the answer
6*8+1=7^2
49=49
correct :)

A quadrilateral has two angles that measure 222° and 81°. The other two angles are in a ratio of 6:13. What are the measures of

hram777 [196]

$\sf\huge\underline{\star Solution:-}$

$\rightarrow$ <u>Ratio of two angles are 6:13.</u>

So, let the one angle be $\sf{6x}$ and another be $\sf{13x.}$

As we know that,

Sum of all interior angles of a quadrilateral = $\sf\pink{360°.}$

So let's sum up the given angles,

$\rightarrow$ $\sf{222°+81°+6x+13x \:=\: 360°}$

$\rightarrow$ $\sf{303+19x \:=\: 360°}$

$\rightarrow$ $\sf{19x \:=\: 360-303}$

$\rightarrow$ $\sf{19x \:=\: 57}$

$\rightarrow$ $\sf{x \:=\: \frac{19}{57}}$

$\rightarrow$ $\sf{x \:=\: 3}$

Hence, $\sf{x \:=\: 3}$

So, First angle $\sf{= \:6x\: = \:6×3 \:=}$ $\sf\purple{18°.}$

Second angle $\sf{= \:13x\: = \:13×3 \:=}$ $\sf\purple{39°.}$
