Answer:

A. 85

Step-by-step explanation:

Since DE and XY are parallel, this means that the given angle and angle x are alternate Angles. According to the law of alternate Angles, this means that they are equal. It also makes sense as the angle x is the same angle as the angle directly opposite angle 85. This is because they are on the same line across parallel lines. This also means they are equal because vertically opposite angles are always equal.

Therefore x =85

Hope this helped!

Solve the following equation: x^3 -168 = [24(x-2)] / 2 PLEASE REPLY ASAP

Nataly_w [17]

Hi Larry

x^3 - 168 = [ 24(x-2)] / 2
x^3 - 168 = (24x - 48)/2
x^3 - 168 = 12x - 24
Subtract 12x - 24 to both sides
x^3 - 168 - (12x - 24) = 12xx - 24 - (12x - 24)
x^3 - 12x - 144 = 0
Now, factor the left sides
(x - 6)(x^2 + 6x + 24) = 0
Set factors equal to 0
x - 6 = 0 or x^2 + 6x + 24 = 0
x = 0 + 6 or x^2 + 6x + 24 - 0
x = 6
Answer : X = 6

Good luck !

-6/13 - (-7/15) pls solve it for me !!! :)

MAXImum [283]

Answer:

First, make the double negative a positive.

So, (-6/13) + (7/15)

Then multiply the numerator, 6×7=42

And denominator 13×15=195

42/195 simplify by dividing both by 3 so 14/65
