Answer:

∠NMC  = 50°

Step-by-step explanation:

The interpretation of the information given in the question can be seen in the attached images below.

In ΔABC;

∠ A + ∠ B + ∠ C = 180°    (sum of angles in a triangle)

∠ A + 70°  + 50°  = 180°

∠ A = 180° - 70° - 50°

∠ A =  180° - 120°

∠ A =  60°

In ΔAMN ; the base angle are equal , let the base angles be x and y

So; x = y   (base angle of an equilateral  triangle)

Then;

x + x + 60° = 180°

2x +  60° = 180°

2x = 180° - 60°

2x = 120°

x = 120°/2

x = 60°

∴ x = 60° , y = 60°

In ΔBQC

∠a + ∠e + ∠b = 180°

50° + ∠e + 40° = 180°

∠e = 180° - 50° - 40°

∠e = 180° - 90°

∠e = 90°

At point Q , ∠e = ∠f = ∠g = ∠h = 90°  (angles at a point)

∠i  = 50° - 40° = 10°

In ΔNQC

∠f + ∠i   + ∠j = 180°

90° + 10° + ∠j = 180°

∠j  = 180° - 90°-10°

∠j  = 180° - 100°

∠j  = 80°

From  line AC , at point N , ∠y + ∠c + ∠j = 180°   (sum of angles on a straight line)

60° + ∠c + ∠80° = 180°

∠c  = 180° - 60°-80°

∠c  = 180° - 140°

∠c  = 40°

Recall that :

At point Q , ∠e = ∠f = ∠g = ∠h = 90°  (angles at a point)

Then In Δ NMC ;

∠d + ∠h + ∠c = 180°   (sum of angles in a triangle)

∠d + 90° + 40° = 180°

∠d  = 180° - 90° -40°

∠d  = 180° - 130°

∠d  = 50°

Therefore, ∠NMC = ∠d  = 50°

2<br> 3(9x - 6) = 4x + 10<br> What is the value of X In the equation
andreev551 [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

23(9x-6) = 4x +10            

207x - 138 = 4x +10

203x = 148                                                    

x = 148/203

 or  

3(9x-6) = 4x +10

27x -18 = 4x + 10

   27x - 4x = 10 + 18

          23x = 28

x= 28/23

Find the values of x and y that maximize the objective function P=3x+2y for the graph. What is the maximum value?
AURORKA [14]

Answer:

(9, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

Maximum or minimum value occurs at the Corner. The points given are (0, 8), (5, 4) and (9, 0).

Substitute (0, 8) in the objective function.

We get P = 3(0) + 2(8) = 16

Now for (x , y) = (5, 4)

P = 3(5) + 2(4) = 15 + 8 = 23

At (9, 0) we get P = 3(9) + 2(0) = 27.

Clearly, we have the maximum value at (9, 0).

And the maximum value is 27.
