Answer:

x = 21

Step-by-step explanation:

If RECT is a rectangle, each of its interior angles are right angles, 90°. Since ∠RTC is split into two angles, the sum of the two angles must be 90°. (Angles that add to 90° are called complementary angles).

∠RTC = ∠RTE + ∠ETC     Formula for complementary angles

90 = 2x + 6 + 42                Substitute the angles

90 = 2x + 48               Combined like terms to simplify

Now isolate "x" to solve

90 - 48 = 2x + 48 - 48         Subtract 48 from both sides

42 = 2x

42/2 = 2x/2       Divide both sides by 2

x = 21

Therefore x is 21.

What is the equation of the line that passes through (0, -2) and has a slope of 0?
serious [3.7K]

Answer:

y = - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

A line with a slope of 0 is a horizontal line parallel to the x- axis with equation

y = c

where c is the value of the y- coordinates the line passes through.

The line passes through (0, - 2) with y- coordinate - 2 , then

y = - 2 ← equation of line
