X=20

First observe the triangle, look at how the two sides are congruent. With that you can realize that the bottom right angle (3x+7) is congruent I the bottom left, meaning the bottom left angle is also 3x+7.

Next you would want to add 5x+13 to 3x+7 which will equal 180 because the two angles are on the same line and a line is 180 degrees. The equation would look like this after adding all like terms together: 8x+20=180. Next subtract 20 from both sides which will then look like 8x=160. Next isolate x by dividing by 8 on both sides to get x=20

Answer: x is 20

Because both angles together make up 180° you can simply rearrange the equation to get 8x+20=180 and by solving you can come to the conclusion x=20

What is the equation of the axis of symmetry for the parabola y= 1/4(x+2)^2-7

Nezavi [6.7K]

Your answer is -2 as the axis of symmetry is at -b/2a. So if you were to expand the equation, you would get y= x^2/4 +x -6 where b is 1 and 2a is ½ . Therefore -1 / ½ gives you -2

Is x=3 a solution for the equation: 3x + 7 = 13<br> Why or why not ?

Answer:

No.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two different ways to do this - solve for x in the given equation or substitute the value for x and see if you get a true statement.

3x + 7 = 13 subtract 7 from both sides

3x = 6 divide by 3 on both sides

x = 2

3(3) + 7 = 13
