Why is the product of a rational number and an irrational number irrational?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

When you multiply and irrational by a rational, you are doing nothing to change the nature of an irrational number. The two numbers have different kinds of properties and though a multiplication can be indicated, there is no way you can change the properties of an irrational number with a rational.

Their properties just do not mix.

It is like take a solvent and mixing it with something that is not a solvent. You cannot do anything to anything to the insolvent to make it solvent simply by adding more. Their properties remain in tact.

Take 3 * 4√7

The properties of the 3 and 4 remain the same when multiplied and they can be combined. 3*4 = 12

But nothing can be done with √7. The 3 cannot effect it, anymore than what the 4 did.

Answer:

29° + (x - 5)° = 180°

29 + x - 5 = 180

29 - 5 + x = 180

24 + x = 180

24 - 24 + x = 180 - 24

x = 156

Step-by-step explanation:

A straight line is 180°.

Set all angles (29° and (x - 5)°) equal to 180°.

Then solve for x.
