A triangle has a bottom left angle of (x + 15) degrees and a bottom right angle of (x degrees). 1 parallel and horizontal line s
its at the top point of the triangle. Another parallel and horizontal line sits at the base of the triangle. The exterior angle to the bottom right angle of the triangle is (4 x minus 20) degrees.
What is the value of x?
What is the value of x?
1 answer:
Answer:
<em>The value of x is 40°</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
The triangle described in the text of the question is shown in the image attached.
Note the angles x and 4x-20 are supplementary since they form a line. Thus:
x + 4x - 20 = 180
Simplifying:
5x - 20 = 180
Adding 20:
5x = 200
Solving:
x = 200/5 = 40
The value of x is 40°

Move the decimal to the right (you go to the right since the exponent is positive, if the exponent was negative then you would move left) seven times, giving you 9,300,000 miles (for Earth). You then do the same with the next equation, giving you 140,000,000 miles (for Mars).
Finally, to find the official number of miles, you simply work the equation 140,000,000 - 9,300,000 .. giving you 130,700,000 miles.
If your teacher wants you to put it back into exponential form, then you first make the number into a decimal that is greater than one and less than ten.

Then, what you want to do is count all of the zeros as a single exponent, giving you 5, but we're not done yet. To get the correct answer, you have to also count the numbers until you reach the decimal. Remember to take out the zeros, because they're not really necessary anymore!
