Answer:

x=72 and the exterior angle is 154

Step-by-step explanation:

We will call the unknown angle in the triangle y.  Angle y and the angle (2x +10) form a straight line so they make 180 degrees.

y + 2x+10 =180

Solve for y by subtracting 2x+10 from each side.

y + 2x+10 - (2x+10) =180 - (2x+10)

y = 180-2x-10

y = 170-2x


The three angles of a triangle add to 180 degrees

x+ y+ 82 = 180

x+ (170-2x)+82 = 180

Combine like terms

-x +252=180

Subtract 252 from each side

-x+252-252 = 180-252

-x = -72

Multiply each side by -1

-1*-x = -72*-1

x=72

The exterior angle is 2x+10.  Substitute x=72 into the equation.

2(72)+10

144+10

154

The middle side of a triangle is half of 3 times the length of the shortest side. The longest side is 2 centimeters longer than
USPshnik [31]

<u>Answer:</u>  

The difference between the longest and shortest sides of the triangle is 4 cm.

<u>Explanation:</u>

<em>Step Number One:</em>

Let the shortest side of the triangle have a length of x.

The middle side of the triangle has a length that is half of 3 times the length of the shortest side. This can be written as 1/2*3x, which equals 3/2x.

The longest side of the triangle has a length that is 2 centimeters longer than the length of the middle side. This can be written as 3/2x + 2.

<em>Step Number Two: </em>

The perimeter of the triangle, which can be found by adding the lengths of all of the sides of the triangle, is 18 centimeters. This can be shown by the following equations:

Shortest Side + Middle Side + Longest Side = Perimeter

x + 3/2x + 3/2x + 2 = 18

4x + 2 = 18

4x = 16

x = 16/4

x = 4

<em>Step Number Three: </em>

This means that the shortest side of the triangle has a length of 4 centimeters and the longest side of the triangle has a length of 8 centimeters.

8 cm - 4 cm = 4 cm

What is the value of c in the equation?
yuradex [85]

Answer:

the value of c = 32.13

Step-by-step explanation:

all you had to do was take one of the options and divide it by 2.1 and you'll know you have to right answer when it equals 15.3 but just remember if you are dividing by a smaller number the numerator has to be a bigger number to be able to equal whatever is on the other side of the equals symbol.

sorry I'm bad at explaining but I hope this helps

Suppose f(x) = 2x-1 and g (x) = x + 1/a. Which value(s) of a would make the composite functions commutative? A. 0 B. 2 C. any va
Tamiku [17]

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

A commutative function means that when you insert one function in space of x in the other function, they will equal x. The equation is f(g(x)) = g(f(x)) = x

So, 2(\frac{x+1}{a}) - 1 = \frac{(2x-1)+1}{a}

If you multiply both sides by <em>a</em>, you get   2<em>a</em>(\frac{x+1}{a}) - a = (2x-1)+1

Simplify it                                                   2<em>a</em>(\frac{x+1}{a}) - <em>a</em> = 2x

Add <em>a</em> to both sides                                    2<em>a</em>(\frac{x+1}{a})  = 2x +<em>a</em>

The two <em>a</em>s on the left cancel out                   2(x+1)=2x+<em>a</em>

Distribute the 2                                               2x+2=2x+<em>a</em>

Then subtract 2x from both sides                        2 = <em>a</em>

Therefore, <em>a</em> = 2

Hope this helps!
