Answer:
n = 24
Step-by-step explanation:
(n + 18) and 2n are "complementary angles:" they add up to 90°.
Thus, n + 18 + 2n = 90. Combining the n terms results in 3n + 18 = 90.
Then 3n = 72. Dividing both sides by 3 results in n = 24.
n is 24, so n + 18 is 42 and 2n is 48. Note that 42 and 48 add up to 90.
For this case what you should do is use the following trigonometric relationship:
tan (x) = C.O / C.A
Where
x: angle
C.O: opposite leg
C.A: adjoining catheto
Substituting the values we have:
tan (60) = long / short
tan (60) = long / 2
long = 2 * tan (60)
long = 3.46
Answer:
long = 3.46
Answer: 22.5 degrees
Step-by-Step Explanation:
As we can see, we are given a line, which is a straight angle. Hence, it will be of 180 degrees.
=> All the angles sum up to 180.
Therefore,
=> 3x + x + 90 = 180
= 4x + 90 = 180
= 4x = 180 - 90 = 90
=> x = 90/4 = 22.5
Therefore, x = 22.5 degrees
Verification:
=> 3x + x + 90 = 180
= 3(22.5) + 22.5 + 90 = 180
= 67.5 + 22.5 + 90 = 180
= 90 + 90 = 180
=> 180 = 180
=> LHS = RHS
Answer:
-2x + 8
Step-by-step explanation:
I applied the distribution technique to the original question.
Answer: 12
Step-by-step explanation:
2x + 8 = 3x - 4
In order to solve for x, we must isolate x. We can do this by moving all of the numbers with "x" in it to the left side of the equal side, and move everything else to the right of it!
Let's start off by subtracting 8 from both sides. Remember : what you do to one side, you must do it to the other.
2x + 8 - 8 = 3x - 4 - 8
Simplify!
2x = 3x - 12
Now, let's subtract 3x from both sides.
2x - 3x = 3x - 12 - 3x
Simplify!
-x = -12
Divide both sides by -1.
-x ÷ -1 = -12 ÷ -1
Simplify.
x = 12
