X + 3 * 21 = 12
x + 63 = 12
x = 12-63
x = -51
The wording was a little odd, but I hope this is what you’re looking for!
Answer:
125° and 55°
Step-by-step explanation:
∠ BCE and ∠ ECF are adjacent angles and are supplementary, thus
10x + 15 + 5x = 180, that is
15x + 15 = 180 ( subtract 15 from both sides )
15x = 165 ( divide both sides by 15 )
x = 11
Thus
∠ BCE = 10x + 15 = 10(11) + 15 = 110 + 15 = 125°
∠ ECF = 5x = 5(11) = 55°
Answer:
The perimeter is the distance all the way around the outside of a 2D shape. To calculate the perimeter, sum the lengths of all the sides.
Therefore, perimeter of the triangle = (2x - 8) + (2x + 5) + (30 - 3x)
Collect like terms: 2x + 2x - 3x - 8 + 5 + 30
Combine like terms: x + 27
Therefore, perimeter of triangle = x + 27
We are told that the perimeter is 25:
x + 27 = 25
Subtract 27 from both sides: x = -2
If x = -2, then the side with equation 2x - 8 = (2 x -2) - 8 = -12
A length cannot be negative, therefore the perimeter cannot equal 25.
Use inverse to solve this problem. Tan-1(5/27). =10.491 which rounded to the nearest degree equals 11.
