Answer:
x = 16
Step-by-step explanation:
Either or both of the right triangles can be used to find x. Or, triangle ABC could be used. All numbers are assumed to be degrees.
<u>Using ∆ABD</u>
55 +90 +2x+3 = 180
2x = 32 . . . . . . subtract 148
x = 16
<u>Using ∆BCD</u>
50 +90 +2x+8 = 180
2x = 32 . . . . . . subtract 148
x = 16
<u>Using ∆ABC</u>
55 +(2x +3) +50 +(2x +8) = 180
4x = 64 . . . . . . . subtract 116
x = 16
How many minutes did it take him to cover 1 mile? 5 minutes.
Answer:
x = 2.667
Step-by-step explanation:
so first you wanna isolate the x by adding 2 to both sides
3x - 2 = 6 ---> 3x = 8
then divide both sides by 3 to get the x alone
x = 8/3 = 2.667
