-18.2 + 3.6= -14.6 is the answer to the question
Answer:
D)
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
M∠DEC equals 123º.
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum of a triangle's three angles always equal 180º. The exterior angle, x, equals the two non-adjacent interior angles.
180 - {(x - 45)+(x - 12)} = m∠DEC
m∠DEC + x = 180
<u>(x - 45) + (x - 12) = x</u>
Solving for x:
(x - 45) + (x - 12) = x
x - 45 + x - 12 = x Remove parenthesis
2x - 57 = x Combine like terms
2x = x + 57 Add 57 to both sides
<u>x = 57</u><u> Subtract x from both sides</u>
Finding m∠D:
x - 45 = ?
<u>57 - 45 = </u><u>12º </u>
Finding m∠C:
x - 12 = ?
<u>57 - 12 = </u><u>45º </u>
<em>** </em><em>(Checking x: 12 + 45 = 57) </em><em>**</em>
<em>Finding </em>m∠DEC:
AC is a straight line, and because straight lines are equivalent to 180º, we subtract 57 from 180:
180 - 57 = 123º

The distributive property is 15+45 = (10 + 40) + (5+5) = 50 + 10 = 60
Hope this helps you.
