Desmond ran the further distance because Betty ran 2/4 and Desmond ran 3/4
Start with an equation summing all the angles in this triangle:
180 = <M + <N + <P
we are given <M and <N but not <P. But, since MN=NP, the angle <P is the same as the angle <M (isosceles, make a drawing to see). So
180 = 2<M + <N
180 = 2(3x+1) + x-11
180 = 7x - 9
x = 27
<P = 3*27+1 = 82 degrees
Answer:
5
Step-by-step explanation:
1) Solve for the slope(m):
(y2-y1) / (x2-x1)
pick any
(-3 - (-5) )/ (1 - 0)
(-3 + 5) / (1 - 0)
2/1 = 2
2) b(intercept) value is found when x = 0:
x = 0, y = -5,
b = y
b = -5
3) Plug it in:
y = mx + b
y = 2x - 5
4) when the value is 5, x = 5:
y = 2x - 5
y = 2(5) - 5
y = 10 -5 = 5
X2, or 2X or X times 2, or X•2.
