Liliana solved the equation below. When she tried to verify her answer, she realized she made an error.
leva [86]

Answer:

Step 3 of substracting 6 from both sides.    

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

We are given the equation:

\displaystyle\frac{1}{3}(x + 18) = 7

Multiplying the constant term we get,

\displaystyle\frac{1}{3}x + 6 = 7

Subtracting 6 from both the sides we get,

\displaystyle\frac{1}{3}x + 6-6 = 7-6\\\\\frac{1}{3}x = 1\\\\x = 3

Liliana made a mistake in the step of subtracting 6 from both sides. She subtracted 6 from the left side bu added 6 on the right side instead of subtracting from the right side.

PLEASE RESPOND ASAP!!what is the value of z in the figure below??
Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

126

Step-by-step explanation:

By cyclic quadrilateral theorem:

(180 \degree - 85 \degree) =  \frac{1}{2} (z \degree + 64 \degree) \\ 95 \degree \times 2 = z \degree + 64 \degree \\ 190 \degree = z \degree + 64 \degree \\ 190 \degree - 64 \degree = z \degree \\ 126\degree = z \degree \\ z = 126

Solve for x please refer to image
QveST [7]

Answer:

x = 40

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum of interior angle of an n-polygon = (n - 2)*180

The polygon given is pentagon with 5 sides.

Sum of the polygon = (5 - 2)*180 = 540°

Therefore, sum of all its interior angles would be:

5x + 150 + (3x - 30) + 70 + (2x - 50) = 540°

Solve for x

5x + 150 + 3x - 30 + 70 + 2x - 50 = 540

Collect like terms

5x + 3x + 2x + 150 - 30 + 70 - 59 = 540

10x + 140 = 540

10x = 540 - 140 (Subtraction property of equality)

10x = 400

x = 400/10 (division property of equality)

x = 40
