Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
6x + 12 + 4x + 8 = 180 {Linear pair}
6x + 4x + 12 + 8 = 180 {Combine like terms}
10x + 20 = 180 {Subtract 20 from both sides}
10x = 180 - 20
10x = 160 {Divide both sides by 10}
x = 160/10
x = 16
m∠KLJ = 6*16 + 12
= 96 +12
= 108
m∠JLM = 4*16 + 8
= 64 + 8
= 72
87.5 percent
Reason: 40/40-5/40 is 35/40. Divide 35/40 and you get 0.875. Multiply by a hundred and you get 87.5%
Answer: <em>it will actually be -3, 7</em>
Let the base of the ladder be x ft and the extension be y ft.
"when fully extended, a ladder is 28 feet in length."
means: x+y=28
"<span>the extension is 4 feet shorter than the base</span>"
means: y=x-4, that is x-y = 4, (taking y to the side of x, and -4 to the other side of x and y)
thus, we have the system of equations:
1) x+y= 28
2) x-y=4
adding the 2 equations, we have:
(x+y)+(x-y)=28+4
2x=32
x=32/2=16
x+y=28, so 16+y=28, thus y=12
Answer: Base: 16, Extension 12
There is no background information on this
