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 :)

USLUIT il Find x. 45° 30°

IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

111°

Step-by-step explanation:

All these are parallel lines, so the 36° angle is equal to the 36° angle inside the big triangle because they are vertically opposite.

Ignore the line cutting between 45° and the 30° and consider it as one triangle
Add them to get 75°
Now you have two known angles 75° and 36°
To get angle x add 75° and 36° to get 111°
Because x° is an exterior angle and exterior angles equal to the sum of interior angles opposite it inside the triangle.
