(a) 95 = (x+7)*(x-7)

(b) 95 = (x+7)*(x-7) 
Expand the brackets:
95 = x² -7x + 7x -49 = x² - 49
Subtract x² from both sides:
95-x² = -49
Subtract 95 from both sides:
-x²=-49-95 
-x²= -144
Divide both sides by -1 to get rid of the negative numbers:
-x²/-1=-144/-1
x²=144
Take the square root of 144:
x = ± squareroot of 144
x = 12 or -12
x = 12 because you cannot have a negative age so Trina is 12 years old.

What is the measure of angle 1?<br> 20°<br> 42°<br> 138°<br> 160°
nikdorinn [45]

Step-by-step explanation:

line s || line t

r is the transversal,

Therefore,

(7x-2)°= (6x+18)° {exterior alternate angles}

7x-6x=18+2

x=20°

r is also a straight line,

therefore,

7x-2+angle1=180° (straight angle)

7x-2+ angle1=180°

7(20)-2+ angle 1= 180°

140°-2+ angle 1= 180°

angle 1= (180-140+2 )°= 42°

angle 1= 42°
