Answer:
25
Step-by-step explanation:
2x+2+5x+3=180 (angles on a straight line)
7x+5=180
7x=180-5
7x=175
x=25 (dividing both sides by 7)

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
If you call "5x-2x^2+1" an "equation," then you must equate 5x-2x^2+1 to 0:
5x-2x^2+1 = 0
This is a quadratic equation. Rearranging the terms in descending order by powers of x, we get:
-2x^2 + 5x + 1 = 0. Here the coefficients are a = -2, b = 5 and c = 1.
Use the quadratic formula to solve for x:
First find the discriminant, b^2 - 4ac: 25 - 4(-2)(1) = 25 + 8 = 33
Because the discriminant is positive, the roots of this quadratic are real and unequal.
-b ± √(discriminant)
Applying the quadratic formula x = --------------------------------
2a
we get:
-5 ± √33 -5 + √33
x = ----------------- = --------------------- and
2(-2) -4
-5 - √33

-4
Answer:
See Below.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that ΔAPB and ΔAQC are equilateral triangles.
And we want to prove that PC = BQ.
Since ΔAPB and ΔAQC are equilateral triangles, this means that:

Likewise:

Since they all measure 60°.
Note that ∠PAC is the addition of the angles ∠PAB and ∠BAC. So:

Likewise:

Since ∠QAC ≅ ∠PAB:

And by substitution:

Thus:

Then by SAS Congruence:

And by CPCTC:
