Answer:
118°
Step-by-step explanation:
When two parallel lines are cut by a tranversal, then the exterior angles are supplimentary and the corresponding angles are congruent.
Therefore the angle above (15x - 17)° is also (5x + 17)° and the angle below (5x + 17)° is also (15x - 17)°.
Angles on a straight line adds up to 180°. So to know the measure of the larger angle we must both equations and equal it to 180° to find x in order to know the larger angle.
(5x + 17) + (15x - 17) = 180
5x + 15x + 17 - 17 = 180
20x = 180
20x/20 = 180/20
x = 9°
Nkw let's substitute x = 9 into the equations
5x + 17 =
5(9) + 17 =
= 62°
15x - 17 =
15(9) - 17 =
= 118°
Both equations should add up to be 180°.
Therefore the measure of the largest angle is 118°.
7+3x=2x+2
Send constants to one side and others to one side
3x-2x=2-7
x=-5
Answer:
40 seconds
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratio would be 3:120, indicating the amount of times it went up for air in 120 seconds. In order to find the answer, we'll find the unit rate. 120 divided by 3 is evenly 40. That means, the unit rate is 1:40. It also means that 40 seconds went by before the manatee surfaced the first time (if it held its breath for the same rate).
Answer:
First, let's define an arithmetic sequence:
In an arithmetic sequence, the difference between any two consecutive terms is always the same.
Then we can write it in a general way as:
aₙ = a₁ + (n - 1)*d
where:
aₙ is the n-th term of the sequence.
d is the constant difference between two consecutive terms.
a₁ is the initial term of our sequence.
Now in this case we know that the first terms of our sequence are:
84, 77, ...
Then we know the initial term of our sequence:
a₁ = 84.
And the value of d can be calculated as:
d = a₂ - a₁ = 77 - 84 = -7
Then the general way of writing this sequence is:
aₙ = 84 + (n - 1)*(-7)
And the recursion relation is:
aₙ = aₙ₋₁ - 7
So for the n-th term, we must subtract 7 of the previous term.
