Answer:
Interior angle of quadrilateral is 360
Sum of the two known angles 222
The sum of the other two is 360-222=138
Ratio 5:18
A=5/23*138=30
B=18/23*138=108
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x - 7
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's let x = 4 and see which one would be different
x - 7 = 4 - 7 = -3
7 + (-x) = 7 + -4 = 3
-x + 7 = -4 + 7 = 3
7 - x = 7 - 4 =3
As you can see, the top answer would be negative while all the rest are positive. This is because, in that case, the negative sign was attached to the 7 instead of the x.
Remark
Forget the Gamestop. I'd never use it. This one is on the house.
Solution
2.5(10 - x) + 10 = 72 - 1.5x*(5x + 12) The first step is to remove the brackets. Be very careful you understand the bracket on the right.
25 - 2.5x + 10 = 72 - 7.5x - 18 Study the signs carefully. Collect like terms.
35 - 2.5x = 54 - 7.5x Add 7.5x to both sides.
35 - 2.5x + 7.5x = 54 - 7.5x + 7.5x
35 + 5x = 54 Subtract 35 from both sides.
5x = 19 Divide by 5
x = 19/5
x = 3 4/5 = 3.8
Check
When you numbers are so cumbersome, you should check the answer.
<em><u>LHS</u></em>
2.5(10 - 3.8) + 10
2.5(6.2) + 10
15.5 + 10
25.5
<em><u>RHS</u></em>
72 - 1.5(5*3.8 +12)
72 - 1.5(19 + 12)
72 - 1.5(31)
72 - 46.5
25.5
<em><u>RHS = LHS</u></em> The solution checks.
