We assume the positions of the lines and angles will match the attached figure. The angle addition theorem gives a relation that can be solved for x, then for the value of angle RST.

∠RSU +∠UST = ∠RST

78° + (3x -12)° = (6x +12)° . . . . . substitute given values into the above

54 = 3x . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by °, subtract 3x+12

108 = 6x . . . . . . . . . . . multiply by 2

120° = (6x +12)° = ∠RST . . . . add 12, show units

The measure of angle RST is 120 degrees.

<em>Additional comment</em>

Note that we don't actually need to know the value of x (18) in this problem. We only need to know the value of 6x.

some numbers added to -11 is 37.divide this number by -12.then multiply by -8.what is the final number?

LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Since some number added to -11 is 37, we must do 37- (-11), which is 48. Then we check our work and find that 48+-11 is indeed 37. Now we divide 48 by -12, which is -4, multiply by -8 and get a final answer of 32.

Colin buys a tv for £530. It depreciates at a rate of 3% per year. How much will it be worth in 5 years? Give your answer to the

rodikova [14]

Answer: In 5 years it will be worth £455

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Given

The cost of the T.V. for Colin = £530.

The rate of depreciation per year = 3%

Time/ period = 5 years

Formulae to be used

F = P X (1 - r) ^ n

where

F = the future value after depreciation

P = the present value.

r =the interest rate per time period

n = the time/ periods

Step 2--- SOLVING

F = P X (1- r) ^ n

F= 530 x (1-0.03) ^ 5

=530 x 0.858734

=£455.129

Rounding up to the nearest penny where appropriate = £455
