Find the value of x​

Answer: x = -14

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

a) Top triangle, top angle: Using the Linear Pair Postulate, 180° - 126° = 54°

b) Top triangle, bottom left angle: Congruent sides implies congruent angles = 54°

c) Bottom triangle, top left angle: Using the Complimentary Angles Postulate, 90° - 54° = 36°

d) Bottom triangle, bottom angle: Congruent sides implies congruent angles = 36°

Triangle Sum Theorem states that the sum of the three angles must equal 180°.

36° + ∠2 + 36° = 180°

36° + (x + 22) + 36° = 180°

x + 194 = 180

         x = -14

Answer:

x = -14

Step-by-step explanation:

Look at the image attatched. I have labeled the angles for better explanation.

We know that angle 1 is 54 degrees as is rests on a straight line with its adjacent angle at 126 degrees. This means that angle 1 would be 180 - 126 degrees, or 54 degrees. We also know that angle 1 and 3 must be congruent as the sides of the triangle opposite those angles are congruent as well. This means that both those angles are 54 degrees. Since the sum of all angles in a triangle must equal 180 degrees, we can get that angle 4 is 180 - (2*54) degrees, or 72. Since angle two and angle 4 both lie on a straight line, they must add up to 180 degrees. This means that the value of angle 2 would be 180 - 72, or 108 degrees. Since angle 2 is also equal to x+122, we get the equation:

108 = x + 122.

We then solve this by getting:

x = 108 - 122

which gives us the answer of

x = -14

A city planner is rerouting traffic in order to work on a stretch of road. The equation of the path of the old route can be desc
earnstyle [38]

Answer: D

Explanation:

The equation of a line in the point slope form is expressed as

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

where

m represents slope

x1 and y1 represents coordinates of the point that the line passes.

From the information given, the equation of the path of the old route is

y = 2x/5 - 4

Recall, the equation of a line in the slope intercept form is expressed as

y = mx + c

By comparing both equations,

slope, m = 2/5

If two lines are parallel, it means that they have the same slope. Given that the new route is to be parallel to the old route and will go through point (Q, P), then

m = 2/5

x1 = Q

y1 = P

The equation of the new route be

y - P = 2/5(x - Q)

The measure of _A is 18° greater than the measure of _B. The two angles are complementary. Find the
kozerog [31]

Answer:

angle A=54 degree

angle B =36 degree

Step-by-step explanation:

let angle B be x

angle A=x+18

since they are complementary angles sum of these two angles will be 90 degree

x+x+18=90

2x=90-18

2x=72

x=72/2

x=36 degree

substitute the value of x to find angle A and angle B

for angle A

x+18

36+18

54 degree

for angle B

angle B =x

=36 degree

Which expression has the same value as 5(4x+4)
aev [14]

Answer: 20x + 20

Step-by-step explanation: In this problem, the 5 "distributes" through the parentheses, multiplying by each of the terms inside.

So we have 5(4x) + 5(4) which simplifies to 20x + 20.
