By <span>(x + 5/x^2 + 9x + 20) you apparently meant the following:
x+5
----------------------
x^2 + 9x + 20
and by
</span><span>(x^2-16/x-4)
x^2-16
you apparently meant ---------------
x - 4
Please use additional parentheses for clarity.
Dividing,
</span> x+5 (x-4)(x+4)
---------------------- * ---------------
x^2 + 9x + 20 x-4
Now, x^2 + 9x + 20 factors into (x+4)(x+5), so what we have now is
(x+5)(x+4)
------------------------- = 1 This is true for all x, so there are no exclusions.
(x+4)(x+5)
The answer is b (I think not really sure)

Answer: 112</h3>
=========================================================
Explanation:
The angle adjacent to the 146 degree angle is 180-146 = 34 degrees.
In other words, the angles 34 and 146 combine to 180. These angles are supplementary.
The tickmarks on this triangle tell us it is isosceles. The angles opposite the congruent sides are congruent angles. So the unmarked interior angles (not marked x) are 34 degrees each.
Now use the fact that any triangle has its interior angles always add to 180
x+34+34 = 180
x+68 = 180
x = 180-68
x = 112
B -222
Because he fell/descended 222 meters. And falling or going down produces a negative integer. Also, if you were actually doing the math to try to find where Oliver is currently located, you wouldn't add 222, or 0, or subtract -444. You would subtract 222.
In addition, be aware that the question is asking you an integer to represent a situation, not the answer of where Oliver is.
