Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x² + 14x = 51

To complete the square

add ( half the coefficient of the x- term )² to both sides

x² + 2(7)x + 49 = 51 + 49 , that is

(x + 7)² = 100 ( take the square root of both sides )

x + 7 = ± $\sqrt{100}$ = ± 10 ( subtract 7 from both sides )

x = - 7 ± 10

Thus

x = - 7 - 10 = - 17

x = - 7 + 10 = 3

55+added=133
added=amount addeed per week times 6=6x

55+6x=133
minus 55 both sides
6x=78
divide both sides by 6
x=13

add 13 per week

y=13x+55

Hello,

$a_{5}=36$
$a_{6}=36*r$
$a_{7}=36*r^2=16$
==>r²=16/36=4/9

==>r=2/3 or r=-2/3

Use exterior angles to solve for interior angles.

Answer:

I could be mistaken but I believe that x= 42.5

Step-by-step explanation:

To find this, you solve for 4x+10=180.

This is because the total angle measure of line RD should be 180 degrees.

When you solve this equation, you get 42.5 for X
