Answer:
23
Step-by-step explanation:
supplementary angles: 180-85 = 95
95 = 5x-20 ( i forgot the name of the rule, something relating to same side interior angles i think)
115 = 5x
23= x
hope that helped
(3) is the base of the new equation
(x + 5) is the answer of the new equation
(2) is the exponent on base (3)
;The new equation after simplifying is...,
; 3^2 = x + 5
; 9 = x + 5
; x = 9 - 5
;Hence...x = 4
Answer:
The original number is 17.
Step-by-step explanation:

Let x and y be the sides of the rectangular corral. Therefore,
Area, A = x*y = xy
Additionally, let the side bordering the barn be x. Then,
Circumference, C = x+y+y = x+2y = 4000 ft => x = 4000 - 2y
Substituting for x in the area equation,
A = (4000-2y)y = 4000y - 2y^2
For maximum area, dA/dy = 0
Then,
dA/dy = 4000 - 4y = 0 => 4000 = 4y => y = 4000/4 = 1000 ft
And x = 4000 - 2y = 4000 - 2*1000 = 4000 - 2000 = 2000 ft
The dimensions of the corral are: 2000 ft by 1000 ft.
Area, A = xy = 2000*1000 = 2000,000 ft^2
Y = y
3x = x + 16
2x = 16
x = 8
y = 3x = 3 (8) = 24
Go for A:
x = 8 y = 24
