The trick to solving this problem is to know and remember that the sum of all the interior angles of a triangle is always 180 degrees.
Thus, (6x+1) + (5x-17) + (9x-24) = 180.
20x = -40, so x = -2 (answer)
Answer:
The pairs are (13,15) and (-15,-13).
Step-by-step explanation:
If n is an odd integer, the very next odd integer will be n+2.
n+1 is even (so we aren't using this number)
The sum of the squares of (n) and (n+2) is 394.
This means
(n)^2+(n+2)^2=394
n^2+(n+2)(n+2)=394
n^2+n^2+4n+4=394 since (a+b)(a+b)=a^2+2ab+b^2
Combine like terms:
2n^2+4n+4=394
Subtract 394 on both sides:
2n^2+4n-390=0
Divide both sides by 2:
n^2+2n-195=0
Now we need to find two numbers that multiply to be -195 and add up to be 2.
15 and -13 since 15(-13)=-195 and 15+(-13)=2
So the factored form is
(n+15)(n-13)=0
This means we have n+15=0 and n-13=0 to solve.
n+15=0
Subtract 15 on both sides:
n=-15
n-13=0
Add 13 on both sides:
n=13
So if n=13 , then n+2=15.
If n=-15, then n+2=-13.
Let's check both results
(n,n+2)=(13,15)
13^2+15^2=169+225=394. So (13,15) looks good!
(n,n+2)=(-15,-13)
(-15)^2+(-13)^2=225+169=394. So (-15,-13) looks good!
Answer:
<em>The base is 24 cm long.</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Equations</u>
Let's call
b= base of the triangle
h=height of the triangle
The base is 9 cm longer than the height, thus:
b = h + 9
The area of the triangle is:
And its value is 180:
Multiplying by 2:
Operating:
Factoring:
The only valid positive solution is:
h = 15 cm
And b = h + 9 = 24
b = 24 cm
The base is 24 cm long.

Answer:
-8/5
Step-by-step explanation:
When you solve for y, the slope of the line is the x-coefficient. For the given line, that is ...
8y = 5x +11 . . . . . add 5x
y = 5/8x +11/8 . . . . divide by 8
The given line has a slope of 5/8. The perpendicular line will have a slope that is the opposite of the reciprocal of this:
-1/(5/8) = -8/5 . . . . slope of perpendicular line
