What are the values of a and b

Mathematics
1 answer:

Answer:
A= 73 degrees
B= 34 degrees

Explanation:
Through the diagram, it is given that QP is a straight line. By supplementary angles(meaning in straight lines of 180 degrees, the angles must add to 180), angle a plus 107 degrees must equal 180 degrees. So:
a+107=180
a= 73
Next, angles RQP and RPQ are congruent because of the sides are congruent, the angles must be congruent. All angles of a triangle must equal 180 degrees. Given the previous, 2a+b=180. Plug a in and solve for b:
2(73)+b=180
146+b=180
b= 34
In conclusion, A= 73 degrees and B=34

** please check my math as I do not have a calculator with me lol

Is 12/30 and 18/45 proportional, or not proportional?
34kurt

12/30 = 18/45, so first you're going to cross multiply and you'll get (30)(18) = (12)(45). Then you can see that 540 = 540 same number so they're proportional...

BTW THIS WAY IS A LOT EASIER.

12/30 = 2/5

18/45 = 2/5

So yes, in summary, they're proportional to each other. Hope this helps, have a BLESSED and wonderful day! :-)

Write the slope intercept form of the equation of the line through the given points x intercept of -5 and y intercept of -1. Pls
soldier1979 [14.2K]

bearing in mind that an x-intercept is when the graph touches the x-axis and when that happens y = 0, and a y-intercept is  when the graph touches the y-axis and when that happens x = 0.

\bf \underset{x-intercept}{(\stackrel{x_1}{-5}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{0})}\qquad \underset{y-intercept}{(\stackrel{x_2}{0}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{-1})} ~\hfill \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise} {\stackrel{y_2}{-1}-\stackrel{y1}{0}}}{\underset{run} {\underset{x_2}{0}-\underset{x_1}{(-5)}}}\implies \cfrac{-1}{0+5}\implies -\cfrac{1}{5}

\bf \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-\stackrel{y_1}{0}=\stackrel{m}{-\cfrac{1}{5}}[x-\stackrel{x_1}{(-5)}] \\\\\\ y=-\cfrac{1}{5}(x+5)\implies y = -\cfrac{1}{5}x-1

What is the solution of the equation 6x - 4 = 2(3x - 2). Explain your steps.​
Vikki [24]

Answer:<em><u> x= 4/3 but in decimal form =1.333</u></em>

Step-by-step explanation: Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :

                    4-(2*(3*x-2))=0

4 -  2 • (3x - 2)  = 0

Pull out like factors :

  8 - 6x  =   -2 • (3x - 4)  

Solve  :    3x-4 = 0  

Add  4  to both sides of the equation :  

                     3x = 4

Divide both sides of the equation by 3:

                    <em><u>x = 4/3 = 1.333</u></em>
