A + s = 279
s = 2a
a + 2a = 279
3a = 279
a = 279/3
a = 93 <=== adult
s = 2a
s = 2(93)
s = 186 ....students
Answer:
since the bases (X) are the same only the exponents will be subtracted and b is greater than a to get a negative exponent
Step-by-step explanation:
40 I'm not quite sure but I think that might be the ANWSER!
The triangles are similar so the angles are equal
2x^2 - 2 = 10x - 2
2x^2 - 2 - 10x + 2 = 0
2x^2 - 10x = 0
2x(x - 5) = 0
2x = 0 OR x - 5 = 0
x = 0 OR x = 5
0 doesn't make sense, because IF I plug 0 into 2x^2 - 2 I get a negative number. We need to use 5 to find the angle measure
2(5^2) - 2 = 2(25) - 2 = 50 - 2 = 48 degrees or the measure of CED
