The sum of the measures of the angles of a triangle is 180. The sum of the measures of the second and third angles is five times

rusak2 [61]

Answer:

$x=30\\y=68\\z=82$

Step-by-step explanation:

x = measure of the first angle

y = measure of the second angle

z = measure of the third angle

The sum of the measures of the second and third (y+z) is five times the measure of the first angle (=5x)

$y+z=5x$

The third angle is 14 more than the second

$z=y+14$

And remember that the sum of these three angles must be equal to 180.

$x+y+z=180$

Let's take these equations

$y+z=5x\\z=y+14\\x+y+z=180$

If you take a look at the first equation, we have y+z = 5x and we have y+z in the third equation as well, we can replace that....

$x+y+z=180\\x+(y+z)=180\\x+(5x)=180$

Distribute the + sign

$x+5x=180$

Combine like terms;

$6x=180$

Divide by 6.

$x=\frac{180}{6}\\ x=30$

We have now defined that the measure of the first angle is 30º.

Let's take another equation... for example $z=y+14$

I'm going to take this one because if I replace x and z in the third equation, all I'll have left will be y.

$x+y+z=180\\30+y+(y+14)=180$

Distribute the + sign and Combine like terms;

$30+y+y+14=180\\44+2y=180\\$

Subtract 44 to isolate 2y.

$2y=180-44\\2y=136$

Now divide by 2.

$y=\frac{136}{2}\\ y=68$

We already have the value of x and y. Once again, replacing this in the third equation will leave us with z to solve for.

$x+y+z=180\\30+68+z=180\\98+z=180\\z=180-98\\z=82$

Find the equation of the line that contains the given point and the given slope. Write the equation in slope-intercept form.

stealth61 [152]

The slope-point form of a line:

$y-y_0=m(x-x_0)$

The slope-intercept form of a line:

$y=mx+b$

$m=6,\ (4,\ 1)\to x_0=4,\ y_0=1$

Substitute

$y-1=6(x-4)\qquad|\text{use distributive property}\\\\y-1=6x-24\qquad|\text{add 1 to both sides}\\\\\boxed{y=6x-23}$

$m=-5,\ (6,\ -3)$

Substitute

$y-(-3)=-5(x-6)\qquad|\text{use distributive property}\\\\y+3=-5x+30\qquad|\text{subtract 5 from both sides}\\\\\boxed{y=-5x+24}$

$m=-\dfrac{1}{2},\ (-8,\ 2)\\\\y-2=-\dfrac{1}{2}(x-(-8))\\\\y-2=-\dfrac{1}{2}(x+8)\\\\y-2=-\dfrac{1}{2}x-4\qquad|\text{add 2 to both sides}\\\\\boxed{y=-\dfrac{1}{2}x-2}$

$m=0,\ (-7,\ -1)\\\\y-(-1)=0(x-(-7))\\\\y+1=0\qquad|\text{subtract 1 from both sides}\\\\\boxed{y=-1}$

Hey, guys help me answer!

Hello and Good Morning/Afternoon

Let's take this problem step by step.

$5=\frac{1}{3}(5x-15)\\ 5=\frac{5}{3}x-5\\ 5+5= \frac{5}{3}x-5 +5\\10=\frac{5}{3}x\\ 10 * 3 = 3* \frac{5}{3}x\\30=5x\\\frac{30}{5} =\frac{5}{5}x\\ 6=x\\x=6$
