Answer:

7/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two numbers be x and y which are relatively prime to each other.

a/b = 5/2

So you want the ratio of

(a + b) / (a - b)

  • Take out a common factor of b
  • numerator:  b(a/b + 1)
  • denominator: b(a/b - 1)
  • Put them together
  • The b's cancel out
  • (a/b + 1) / (a/b - 1)
  • but a/b = 5/2
  • (5/2 + 1) / (5/2 - 1)
  • Numerator:  (5/2 + 2/2) = 7/2
  • Denominator: 5/2 - 2/2 = 3/2
  • numerator over denominator = 7/2 // 3/2 = 7/2 * 2/3 = 7/3

Answer: 7/3

If m rst = 70, m qst = 2x, and m qsr = 3x-10 what is the m qsr
Anna [14]

Answer:

m qsr = 62°

Step-by-step explanation:

From my understanding, the question states 3 angles of a triangle

All 3 angles of a triangle are equal to 180°.

<u>Step 1: Find x</u>

<em>70 + 2x + 3x - 10 = 180°</em>

<em>70 + 5x - 10 = 180</em>

<em>5x = 180 - 60</em>

<em>x = 120/5</em>

x = 24°

<u>Step 2: Find angle qsr</u>

<em>m qsr = 3x - 10</em>

<em>m qsr = 3(24) - 10</em>

m qsr = 62°
