Answer: 2z-15
Step-by-step explanation
Based on the visual image, AD is a line where a point O intersects somewhere on the line. AD is represented as 3z-11, while the segment from AO is represented as z+4.
In order to find the answer, we must subtract the entire line (AD) from AO in order to find the missing segment OD.
AD - AO = OD
(3z-11) - (z+4) = OD
Distribute the negative sign so it becomes:
(3z-11) -z - 4 = OD
Now combine like terms.
(3z-z) +(- 11 -4)= OD
2z - 15 = OD
And that is your answer!
Hi there!
We can solve for x knowing that the sum of interior angles in a triangle is 180°.
The square at the bottom indicates a right angle, or 90°. Therefore:
180 = 90 + x + (x + 10)
Combine like terms:
180 = 100 + 2x
Subtract 100 from both sides:
180 - 100 = 2x
80 = 2x
Divide both sides by 2:
x = 40.
