Find the value of y and x in the figure

First, find the interior angle missing:

180-135=45

Then, we know all the interior angles in a triangle add up to 180º. So, we add all the values for the interior angles and we equate them to 180. We solve the equation normally.

45+(4z+9)+(5y+5)=180\\45+4z+9+5y+5=180\\59+4z+5y=180\\4z+5y=180-59\\4z+5y=121

After that, we must add the two angles on a straight line on the right-hand side and equate them to 180.

(4z+9)+(9y-2)=180\\4z+9+9y-2=180\\7+4z+9y=180\\4z+9y=180-7\\4z+9y=173

We compare the equations:

4z+5y=121\\4z+9y=173

We simultaneously solve by isolating one of the variables (y) in one of the equations (4z+5y=121) and substituting into the other (4z+9y=173):

4z+5y=121\\4z+9y=173\\\\4z+5y=121 => 4z=121-5y\\\\4z+9y=173\\(121-5y)+9y=173\\121-5y+9y=173\\121+4y=173\\4y = 173-121\\4y=52\\y=52/4\\y=13

We substitute it back into the first formula, the one in which we isolated the variable (4z+5y=121):

y=13\\\\4z+5y=121\\4z+5(13)=121\\4z+65=121\\4z=121-65\\4z=56\\z=56/4\\z=14

We now check our answer using the formula we know about the internal angles of a triangle (a+b+c=180):

a+b+c=180\\a=45,b=(5y+5),c=(4z+9),y=13,z=14\\45+(5y+5)+(4z+9)=180\\45+5(13)+5+4(14)+9=180\\45+65+5+56+9=180\\180=180

Now, if 180=180, then we are correct!

So, in conclusion, y=13 and z = 14.

It would probably be 2 seconds per meter. Carlos is going at a speed of 2 SECONDS PER METER. (Also, I doubt that's possible.)

the first term of an arithmetic sequence is 10 and the sum of the first five terms is 250,find the sequence​
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

The  sequence  is:

10, 30, 50, 70, 90.....................

Step-by-step explanation:

We have,

First term (a) = 10

Common difference (d) = ?

Sum of first 5 terms (S_{5}) = 250

or, \frac{n}{2} [{2a+(n-1)d}] = 250

or, \frac{5}{2} [2*10 + 4d]=250

or, \frac{5}{2} * 4[5+d]=250

or, 10(5 + d) =250

or, 5 + d = 25

∴ d = 20

Now,

2nd term = a + d = 10 + 20 = 30

3rd term = a + 2d = 10 + 2*20 = 10 + 40 = 50

4th term = a + 3d = 10 + 3*20 = 10 + 60 = 70

5th term = a + 4d = 10 + 4*20 = 10 + 80 = 90
