Answer:

-9a + b

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem, let us factor out the variable a from the terms containing the variable, and apply addition and the distributive property to simplify the terms.

-5a - 4a + b

= a ( -5 + -4 ) + b

= a ( -9 ) + b

= -9a + b

Hence, the simplified expression for -5a - 4a + b is -9a + b.

Cheers.

Angles T and V are country that angle T has a measure of (2X +10) angle B has a measure of 48° what is the value of X
enyata [817]
If T and V are complementary angles, their sum is 90°.

   V + T = 90°
   48° + (2X+10)° = 90° . . . . . . . substitute given information
   2X + 58 = 90 . . . . . . . . . . . . .. collect terms
   2X = 32 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. subtract 58
   X = 16 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. divide by 2

The value of X is 16.

In the following diagram, BC is parallel to DE. <br> What is x?
maria [59]

Answer:

21

Step-by-step explanation:

Using alternate interior angles, we can conclude that angle C is equal to X (the 3rd, unmarked angle in the center triangle)

To find that 3rd angle, we can do 180 - 105 - 54. This is because all angles in a triangle must equal 180. Using this, we find that angle C is equal to 21. By the law, X must also equal 21.
