NP is an angle bisector of <MNO. If <MNP = x + 23, and m<PNO = 3x - 1, find the value of x.
Neko [114]

The answer is: " 12 " .

_____________________________________________

→ " x = 12 " .

_____________________________________________

To solve:

________________________________________________________

3x - 1 = x + 23 ; Solve for "x" ;

Subtract "x" from each side of the equation; & add "1" to each side of the equation;

3x - 1 - x + 1 = x + 23 - x + 1 ;

to get:

2x = 24 ;

Divide each side of the equation by "2" ;

to isolate "x" on one side of the equation; & to solve for "x" ;

2x/2 = 24/2 ;

to get:

x = 12 .

_____________________________________________

Let us check our answer, by plugging in "12" for "x" ; on EACH side of the original equation; to see if the equation holds true; {that is, to see if each side of the original equation is equal, when "x = 12" } ; as follows:

______________________________________________

3x - 1 = x + 23 ;

Substitute "12" for "x" on each side ;

3(12) - 1 =? (12) + 23 ??

36 - 1 =? 35 ??

35 =? 35?? Yes!

What’s the surface area
STALIN [3.7K]

Answer: 38 in.^{2}


Step-by-step explanation:

1/ Find the area of the triangular sides. (1/2 x 2 x 6 = 6 in.^{2} for each triangular side)

2/ Find the area of each of the rectangular sides. In this case, the bottom (base) side is 2x6 = 12 in^{2}. The rectangular side on the left is 2x3 = 6 in.^{2}, and the rectangular side on the right is 4x2 = 8 in.^{2}.

3/ Add everything together. Rectangular Sides + Triangular Sides = Surface Area ---> 12 in.^{2} + 6 in.^{2} + 8 in.^{2} + 6 in.^{2} + 6 in.^{2} = 38 in.^{2}

4/ You have your answer, now hope it helps ! :)

In triangle A B D , the measure of angle A is 10 degree less than the measure of angle B . The measure of angle D is 20 degree m
elixir [45]

Answer:

<u><em>Measure of angle A is 27 7/9 degrees.</em></u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets call measure of angle A is <em><u>X-10</u></em>

Lets call measure of angle B is X

Lets call measure of angle D is 2.5X+20

We know that the sum of triangles add up to 180 degrees

X+X-10+2.5X+20=180

X=37 7/9

So measure of angle A is 27 7/9 degrees.

I hope this is right. :)
