We see two parallel lines crossed by a transversal.
The two labelled angles are alternate interior angles, hence they are equal.
The equality allows us to equate the two expressions and hence solve for x.
8x-3=5x+42
transpose terms
8x-5x=42+3
solve for x
3x=45
so x=45/3=15.
This means 5x+42=5*15+42=75+42=117 degrees.
First, multiply. 7x-14-4x+9. Now, add the like terms. 3x-5.
Answer:
The range of students is 13.
Step-by-step explanation:
Take the largest number and subtract it from the smallest number. For example, 171 - 158 = 13 cm.
