Answer: x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

x(x-1) = 42 (Area)

By trial and error method let's take x = 7

We get

7(7-1) = 42

7 x 6 = 42

42 = 42

Therefore LHS = RHS

Therefore it's 7

Hope this helps

Answer:

x = - 6 , x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

given

x² - x - 42 = 0

Consider the factors of the constant term (- 42) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term ( - 1)

The factors are - 7 and + 6, since

- 7 × + 6 = - 42 and - 7 + 6 = - 1, hence

x² - x - 42 = (x - 7)(x + 6) and so

(x - 7)(x + 6) = 0

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x - 7 = 0 ⇒ x = 7

x + 6 = 0 ⇒ x = -6

Solutions are x = - 6, x = 7

I need to know if it’s A B C OR D
Liula [17]

SOLUTION

Consider the property, opposite angle of a cyclic quadrilateral are supplementary

hence

\angle NMP+\angle NOP=180^0

Recall that

\begin{gathered} \angle NMP=\angle M=(8x-24)^0 \\ \text{and } \\ \angle NOP=\angle O=(4x)^0 \end{gathered}

Hnece, we have that

\begin{gathered} \angle M+\angle O=180^0(opposite\text{ angles of a cyclic quadrilateral)} \\ (8x-24)^0+4x^0=180^0 \end{gathered}

Then

\begin{gathered} 8x-24+4x=180 \\ 8x+4x-24=180 \\ 12x-24=180 \\ \text{Add 24 t o both sides } \\ 12x-24+24=180+24 \\ 12x=204 \\ \text{divide both sides by 12} \\ \frac{12x}{12}=\frac{204}{12} \\ \text{Then} \\ x=17 \end{gathered}

Hence

x=17

Since

\begin{gathered} \angle NOP=(4x)^0 \\ \text{substitute the value of x, we have } \\ \angle NOP=4\times17=68^0 \\ \text{Hence } \\ \angle NOP=68^0 \end{gathered}

Therefore

The measure of angle NOP is 68⁰

Answer; 68⁰ (The fourth Option )
