Find the value of x in each case:
1 answer:
Answer:
x = 36
Step-by-step explanation:
To obtain the value of x, we must first obtain the value of y and z as shown in the attached photo.
i. Determination of y
2x + y = 180 (angle on a straight line)
Rearrange
y = 180 – 2x
ii. Determination of z.
z + 4x = 180 (angle on a straight line)
Rearrange
z = 180 – 4x
iii. Determination of x
x + y + z = 180 (sum of angles in a triangle)
But:
y = 180 – 2x
z = 180 – 4x
Therefore,
x + y + z = 180
x + 180 – 2x + 180 – 4x = 180
Collect like terms
x – 2x – 4x = 180 – 180 –180
– 5x = – 180
Divide both side by – 5
x = – 180 / – 5
x = 36
Therefore, the value of x is 36.

The answer to this is:
Jorge's weight percent decrease is (190-180)÷190, or amount of change/original amount. Simplified, 10 ÷ 190 = 5.2637157894...%, approximately equal to 5%. The first option is correct. Marie's percent decrease is (175-150)÷175. Simplified, that is 25÷175 = 14.2857142857...%, which is about 14%. The second option is correct. Clearly, we can tell that Marie had the greater percent change, about 14% to about 5%. Also clearly, Jorge did not have the greater percent change, so we can tell Option 4 is wrong. We already know that Jorge's change is about 5% and Marie's is about 14%, so they can't be about 0.5% or about 1.4%. Options 5 and 6 are incorrect. The correct answers are 1, 2, and 3.
