Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
x = 1/2 (1 +\- i sqrt(23))
Discussion:
x \3x - 2 = (x/3)*x - 2 = (x^2)/3 - 2 (*)
1 \3x - 4 = (1/3)x - 4 (**)
(*) = (**) =>
(x^2)/3 -2 = (1/3)x - 4 => multiply both sides by 3
x^2 - 6 = x - 12 => subtract x from both sides
x^2 -x -6 = -12 => add 12 to both sides
x^2-x +6 = 0
Using the quadratic formula gives:
x = 1/2 (1 +\- i sqrt(23))
Thank you,
MrB
Hey I don't know who Mhanifa is but 25 is correct, and I will put the entire explanation to how to get the answer here.
First of all the 2 lines on the left and right side of the triangles are means that those 2 lines are equal and thus forming a isosceles triangle.
This means that the bottom right angle is also 2x+2 degrees.
Now because all 3 angles in a triangle adds to 180 degrees, we can set up equation.
3x+1+2x+2+2x+2=180
Now combine like terms
7x+5=180
Then solve, first subtract 5 from both sides.
7x=175
Now divide 7 from both sides
x=25
You answer is -25 your welcome
When you know the coordinates of a point and the slope of a line, you can use the formula

in your case,
and
, so you have

Then answer should be w = 4/3 if that’s what you lookin for
