Using a theorem (yes i forgot the name of the theorem), we know that because the angles opposite of the sides are congruent, the sides must be congruent aswell. Therefore:

3x - 24 = x + 10

Now solve, starting by using the addition and subtraction properties of equality:

3x - 24 + 24 = x + 10 + 24

3x = x + 34

3x - x = x - x + 34

2x = 34

Now, use the division property of equality:

(2x)/2 = (34)/2

x = 17

Therefore, x = 17.

3(17)-24 = 27 and (17)+10 = 27 so the answer is 17

80% of Vanessa's final grade is based on the average score of her quizzes, which is 73.

Misha Larkins [42]

80% of quizzes + 20% of final = final grade

80% * 73 + 20% * x = 70

0.8 * 73 + 0.2x = 70

58.4 + 0.2x = 70

0.2x = 11.6

x = 58

A sequence is constructed according to the following rule: its first term is 7, and each next term is one more than the sum of t

Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the described rule, we have

$a_1=7\\ \\a_1^2=7^2=49\Rightarrow a_2=4+9+1=14\\ \\a_2^2=14^2=196\Rightarrow a_3=1+9+6+1=17\\ \\a_3^2=17^2=289\Rightarrow a_4=2+8+9+1=20\\ \\a_4^2=20^2=400\Rightarrow a_5=4+0+0+1=5\\ \\a_5^2=5^2=25\Rightarrow a_6=2+5+1=8\\ \\a_6^2=8^2=64\Rightarrow a_7=6+4+1=11\\ \\a_7^2=11^2=121\Rightarrow a_8=1+2+1+1=5\\ \\\text{and so on...}$
