The equation is b-a= 21;
2b-5a = 18
a=8 and b= 29
therefore 29-8= 21
2 (29) -5 (8) = 18
58-40=18

Triangle L M Q is cut by perpendicular bisector L N. Angle N L Q is 32 degrees and angle L M N is 58 degrees.
Serga [27]

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

ΔMNL ≅ ΔQNL  by ASA or AAS

by ASA

Proof:

∠ LNM = ∠LNQ    =90

LN = LN   {Common}

∠MLN = ∠QLN     {LN bisects ∠ L}

By AAS

∠Q + ∠QLN + ∠LNQ = 180  {Angle sum property of triangle}

∠Q + 32 + 90 = 180

∠Q  + 122 = 180

∠Q = 180 -122 =

∠Q = 58

∠Q = ∠M

∠MNL =∠QNL = 90

LN = LN {common side}

Find the equivalent expression of 3+2(2p+4t)
NISA [10]

Remember to follow PEMDAS, and to only combine terms with like variables.

First, distribute the 2 to all terms within the parenthesis:

2(2p + 4t) = 2(2p) + 2(4t) = 4p + 8t

3 + 4p + 8t, or (D), is your answer choice, for it cannot be simplified anymore.
