"Twice the sum of a number is 9 is equal to three times the difference of the number and 7" is our problem. Let's translate it into an equation.

Twice                                      2 times

the sum of a number           x +

and 9                                    9

is equal to                              =

three times                           3 times

the difference of a number x-

and 7                                      7


We move top down on the right side and make the equation. Then we solve it for x

2x + 9 = 3x - 7                           our equation

-x + 9 = -7                                    subtract 3x on both sides

-x = -16                                      subtract 16 on both sides

x = 16                                         divide both sides by -1


Thus the mystery number is 16.

First, write put the information into an equation

2*(x+9) = 3*(x-7)

distribute the 2 and 3
2x + 18 = 3x - 21

Combine like terms (Xs and munbers) (in this case, it's easier to add 15 to both sides and subtract 2x from both sides so both sides end up being positive)
33 = x

x=33

Answer:

\huge\boxed{\sf L = 78\°}

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3><u>Given that:</u></h3>

Exterior angle of L = 5x + 12

M = 3x - 2

N = 50

<h3><u>Statement:</u></h3>
  • Exterior angle is equal to the sum of non-adjacent interior angles.

So, the exterior angle that is adjacent to L is equal to the sum of non-adjacent sides (M and N) of the triangle.

Here,

Exterior angle of L = M + N

5x + 12 = 3x - 2 + 50

5x + 12 = 3x + 48

Subtract 12 to both sides

5x = 3x + 48 - 12

5x - 3x = 36

2x = 36

Divide 2 to both sides

x = 18

So,

<h3><u>Measure of angle M:</u></h3>

= 3x - 2

= 3 (18) - 2

= 54 - 2

= 52°

Now,

<h3><u>Measure of angle L:</u></h3>

<u>We know that,</u>

  • Sum of all the interior angles of triangle is 180 degrees.

L + M + N = 180°

L + 52 + 50 = 180

L + 102 = 180

Subtract 102 to both sides

L = 180 - 102

L = 78°

Maths question trigonometry help pleassssee
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

x=4.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Using sohcahtoa we know tangent is equal to (length of side opposite to the angle ) / (lenth of side adjacent to the angle)

therefore: tan (theta) = (x-3) / (x) = 1 / 3

now cross multiply

3(x-3) = x

now solve for x

3x - 9 = x

-9= -2x

x= 4.5
