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

7 times 2 will be 14 and 3 times 2 is 6. So you need to add 14 plus 6 and you get 20 :) Hope you enjoy!

Solve the formula for one of its variables using addition subtraction and/ or division
Sati [7]

One way of doing this would be to look at the πr² as if it were a single term. Then we could divide both sides by πr², which leaves h = V/πr².

Joe is buying a jacket that originally costs $59.27 but is on sale for 10% off. Sales tax is 7%. What is the total cost of the j
postnew [5]
Hello!

10% off means there's a discount on the jacket, so we will be finding how much the discount is worth and then we'll subtract that from the original cost of the jacket. 
Sales tax is basically additional money added to the cost of an item, so we will find what the sales tax is on this and then add that to the cost.

59.27 * 10% = 5.927

59.27 - 5.927 = 53.343

Now, find and add the sales tax. 

53.343 * 7% = 3.73401

53.343 + 3.73401 = 57.07701

Round this to 57.1

The total cost of the jacket is $57.1.
