Answer:

Please, find the image with the diagram of the lines corresponding to this question:

The answers are:

  • Equation: m ∠ DCE = 180º - x

  • Value of x = 60º

Explanation:

First question:

You must use the fact that the angles DCE and BCD are adjacent angles, because they share the vertex (C) and have a common side (CD).

Thus, as a first fact, the measure of the angle BCE is equal to the sum of the measures of the angles BCD and DCE.

On the other hand, BE is a straight line, thus the measure of angle BCE is 180º.

Hence, you can write:

  • m ∠ DCE + m ∠ DCB = 180º
  • m ∠ DCE + x = 180º
  • m ∠ DCE = 180º - x

Second question:

Solve for x:

  • Given: m ∠ DCE = 180º - x

  • Add x to both sides: m ∠ DCE + x  = 180º

  • Subtract m ∠ DCE from both sides: x = 180º - m ∠DCE

Substitute m ∠DCE with 120º:

  • x = 180º - 120º = 60º

Hence, for m ∠DCE = 120º, x = 60º.

Solve system by elimination <br> -5x-10y=-20<br> 10x+10y=0
bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

(-4,4)

Step-by-step explanation:

-5x-10y=-20

10x+10y=0

divide both sides by 2

-5x-10y=-20

5x+5y=0

that makes

-5y=-20

divide both sides by -5

y=4

now substitute 4 for y

10x+10 x 4=0

multiply

10x+40=0

subtract

10x=-40

divide

x=-4

Suppose two $20 bills, three $10 bills, one $5 bill, and seven $1 bills are placed in a bag. If you were to pull a bill at rando
Korolek [52]

Answer:

Assuming that the $1 bill was pulled at random, then the expected value of the amount chosen is \frac{7}{13}.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given question, the bag contains;

$1 bill = 7

$5 bill = 1

$10 bill = 3

$20 bill = 2

Total number of bills in the bag = 13

Pulling a bill at random, the bills would have an expected value as follows:

For $1 bill, the expected value = \frac{7}{13}

For $5 bill, expected value = \frac{1}{13}

For $10 bill, expected value = \frac{3}{13}

For $20 bill, the expected value = \frac{2}{13}

Assuming that the $1 bill was pulled at random, then the expected value of the amount chosen is \frac{7}{13}.

If f (x) = StartRoot x EndRoot + 12 and g (x) = 2 StartRoot x EndRoot, what is the value of (f – g)(144)
Luda [366]

The value of (f-g)(144) is 0

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given:

f(x)=\sqrt{x}+12\,\,and\,\,\\ g(x)=2\sqrt{x}

We need to find value of (f-g)(144)

We will put x=144 for both f(x) and g(x)

(f-g)(144)=f(144)-g(144)\\=\sqrt{144}+12-(2\sqrt{12})\\=12+12-(2(12)\\=24-24\\=0

So, the value of (f-g)(144) is 0
