This is how I would work it out:
1st no. = x+1 2x+10=3(x+1)-7
2nd no. = x 2x+10=3x-4
x=14
1st no. is 15; 2nd no. is 14
To check: 28+10=38; three times the larger is 45; and 38 is 7 less than 45.
So what we're dealing with here is a similar triangle situation. Since ML is a midsegment, that means that IL and LJ are congruent. So, IL=LJ=13. This means that the whole side IJ is 26 (13+13=26). We also know that triangle IML and triangle IKJ are similar triangles, so their sides are proportional. This means that we can set up the ratio:
12/13 = x/26
and solve for x.
After multiplying 26 to both sides of the equation, we find that x=24, so KJ=24.
Step-by-step explanation:
A supplementary angle is an angle that is 180 degrees. We are given two angles that add up to 180, but we need to solve for x first.
The first step is to solve both angles. We know that both angles added together are supplementary, so they are equal to 180.
4x + 8 = unknown angle
6x + 3 = unknown angle
(4x + 8) + (6x + 3) = 180
Because we know a supplementary angle is 180 degrees, we can solve for x to find both angles.
Solve for x.
(4x + 8) + (6x + 3) = 180
10x + 11 = 180
10x = 169
x = 16.9
Now, we know the value of x, so we plug in x for both angles to determine which angle is smaller.
4x + 8
4(16.9) + 8
67.6 + 8 = 75.6 degrees
and the other angle
6x + 3
6(16.9) + 3
101.4 + 3 = 104.4 degrees
Now we know that the smaller angle is 75.6 degrees.
Also, to make sure the math is correct, when plugging in both numbers after finding x, they should add to 180.
75.6 + 104.4 = 180 so we know they are supplementary for sure.
Good luck!
Y=mx+b
m=slope
b=yintercept
given
slope=-1/4
yint=5
y=-1/4x+5
2(7/2)^x = 49/2
Divide both sides by 2:
(7/2)^x = 49/4
I notice that 49/4 can be rewritten as (7/2)^2, so we now have:
(7/2)^x = (7/2)^2
The only way for this to be true is if x = 2. Thus, we are done.
