Answer:
x = 50°
Step-by-step explanation:
Angles in a quadrilateral add to 360°
First work out the interior missing angle
360° - ( 40° + 80° + 110° ) = 130°
Angles on a straight line add to 180° so
180° - 130° = 50°
a is given to us so just plug a into the first equation:
b-3 - 3b =9
Add 3 to both sides:
b-3b=12
Combine like terms:
-2b=12
Divide by -2 to get b by itself:
b=-6
The only answer with b as -6 is the first one, (-9,-6)
Answer: 51/8 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Since you must cut down the length of copper tubbing from 15 1/8 inches to 8 3/4 inches, the leftover piece will be:
15 1/8 - 8 3/4
Change the mixed fraction to improper fraction.
121/8 - 35/4
The LCM will be 8
( 121 - 70 )/8
51/8 or 6.375 inches
Therefore, the leftover piece will be 51/8 inches long
