First use distributive property:
2(3n + 4) - 2(2n + 5)
6n + 8 - 4n - 10
Group like terms:
6n - 4n + 8 - 10
Add like terms:
2n - 2

First, distribute;
2(3n + 4) - 2(2n + 5)
(6n + 8) - (4n - 10)
2n - 2

In order for RECT to be a rectangle, what must the value of x be?

Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

x = 21

Step-by-step explanation:

If RECT is a rectangle, each of its interior angles are right angles, 90°. Since ∠RTC is split into two angles, the sum of the two angles must be 90°. (Angles that add to 90° are called complementary angles).

∠RTC = ∠RTE + ∠ETC Formula for complementary angles

90 = 2x + 6 + 42 Substitute the angles

90 = 2x + 48 Combined like terms to simplify

Now isolate "x" to solve

90 - 48 = 2x + 48 - 48 Subtract 48 from both sides

42 = 2x

42/2 = 2x/2 Divide both sides by 2

x = 21

Therefore x is 21.

Peter leaves his house and walks 15 meters south, then turns east and walks another 15 meters. How far is he from his house? Rou

Varvara68 [4.7K]

When Peter does this, he is creating two sides of a right-angle triangle. The distance from his house to that point will be the hypotenuse of the triangle thus, to work out the length of the hypotenuse, we have to use Pythagoras Theorem! So:

a² + b² = c²
15² + 15² = c²
225 + 225 = c²
450 = c²
15√2 = c
21.21320344 = c

So, this rounded to the nearest tenth would be:

21.2 meters !
