Find m∠DEC (the picture is not drawn to scale).

Answer:

M∠DEC equals 123º.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of a triangle's three angles always equal 180º. The exterior angle, x, equals the two non-adjacent interior angles.

180 - {(x - 45)+(x - 12)} = m∠DEC

m∠DEC + x = 180

<u>(x - 45) + (x - 12) = x</u>

Solving for x:

(x - 45) + (x - 12) = x

x - 45 + x - 12 = x                             Remove parenthesis

2x - 57 = x                                       Combine like terms

2x = x + 57                                      Add 57 to both sides

<u>x = 57</u><u>                                             Subtract x from both sides</u>

Finding m∠D:

x - 45 = ?

<u>57 - 45 = </u><u>12º                                          </u>

Finding m∠C:

x - 12 = ?

<u>57 - 12 = </u><u>45º                                           </u>

<em>** </em><em>(Checking x: 12 + 45 = 57) </em><em>**</em>

<em>Finding </em>m∠DEC:

AC is a straight line, and because straight lines are equivalent to 180º, we subtract 57 from 180:

180 - 57 = 123º

Hope this helps,

4y=-3-x<br> 7x-4y=43<br> elimination please help!!
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

x = 5 y =-2

Step-by-step explanation:

You can substitute the 4y in,
7x - (-3-x) = 43
7x + 3 + x = 43
8x + 3 = 43
8x = 40
x = 5

Then plug the x back into the equation,
4y = -3 - 5
4y = -8
y = -2

Which system of equations can be used to find the roots of the equation 4x^2=x^3+2x?
irina [24]
Next time, please share the answer choices.
Starting from scratch, it's possible to find the roots:

<span>4x^2=x^3+2x should be rearranged in descending order by powers of x:

x^3 - 4x^2 + 2x = 0.  Factoring out x:  </span>x(x^2 - 4x + 2) = 0

Clearly, one root is 0.  We must now find the roots of (x^2 - 4x + 2):

Here we could learn a lot by graphing.  The graph of y = x^2 - 4x + 2 never touches the x-axis, which tells us that (x^2 - 4x + 2) = 0 has no real roots other than x=0.  You could also apply the quadratic formula here; if you do, you'll find that the discriminant is negative, meaning that you have two complex, unequal roots.
