Hi there! The answer is A. x = 12

The angles (taken together) are complementary angles: the sum of the angles is 90 degrees. When we know this, we can set up and solve an equation.

(3x + 6) + 48 = 90
Work out the parenthesis

3x + 6 + 48 = 90
Collect terms

3x + 54 = 90
Subtract  54

3x = 36
Divide by 3

x = 36 / 3 = 12
Therefore, the solution for x, gives x = 12. A is the correct answer.

Hello there, and thank you for posting your question here on brainly.

Short answer: A. x = 12

Why?

This type of angle is called a complementary angle, where two acute angles add up to a 90° angle, (a right angle). Substitute x for 12 in the equation shown. (3 * 12 + 6) Now, do the appropriate math to solve. (3 * 12 = 36) Add. (36 + 6 = 42) To check if this is right, we have to add by the known angle, (48), and make sure it adds up to 90. (42 + 48 = 90) x = 12

Hope this helped you! ♥

Which equation models a line that passes through point (-2,2) And has a slope of -8
trasher [3.6K]

So we will be using y=mx+b form, in which m = slope and b = y-intercept. Since we know the slope (-8), all we need to do is solve for the y-intercept. We can do this by inserting (-2,2) into the equation and solve for b.


2=-8(-2)+b


Firstly, do the multiplication: 2=16+b


Next, subtract 16 on both sides, and your answer will be -14 = b



Using the previous info we have, our equation is y = -8x - 14

Write whether each statement is true of false. Explain your reasoning.
sp2606 [1]
6 - p....p = 1.5
6 - 1.5 = 4.5
TRUE...because when u sub in 1.5 for p, the difference is 4.5, which is less then 5.

(30)(420) = 12000 - 600
12600 = 11400...incorrect
FALSE...because the product of 30 and 420 does not equal 600 less then 12000

16.3 + 11.9 < 27
28.2 < 27..incorrect
FALSE...because the sum of 16.3 and 11.9 is greater then 27

<h3>Answer: Triangular prism</h3>

If you folded the figure up, you would have a prism where the parallel bases are right triangles. Each lateral face is a rectangle.

It might help to imagine a room where the floor and ceiling are triangles (they are identical or congruent triangles). Each wall of this room is one of the rectangles shown.
