Find the measure of angle A. This is for my math class, and I’ve been stuck on this for a while. Please help!
Kruka [31]

Answer:

20°

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of angles in a ∆ = 180°

Therefore, (17x - 1) + (3x - 4) + 25 = 180

Use this expression to find the value of x, then find the measure of angle A.

17x - 1 + 3x - 4 + 25 = 180

17x + 3x - 1 - 4 + 25 = 180

20x + 20 = 180

Subtract 20 from both sides

20x + 20 - 20 = 180 - 20

20x = 160

Divide both sides by 20

\frac{20x} = \frac{160}{20}

x = 8

Find measure of angle A.

Angle A is given as 3x - 4

Plug in the value of x and solve

A = 3(8) - 4 = 24 - 4 = 20

One positive number is one-fifth of another number. The difference between the two numbers is 144, find the numbers.
liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

36, 180

Step-by-step explanation:

x = y/5, so y = 5x

y - x = 144

5x - x = 144

4x = 144

x = 144/4 = 36

y = 5x = 5*36 = 180

The two numbers are 36 and 180

Hello, i need help! <br> 5/2 multiplied by what equals 1? <br> equation: 5/2×?=1
prisoha [69]

Answer:

\large\boxed{\dfrac{2}{5}}

Step-by-step explanation:

\text{The product of the number and its reciprocal gives us 1.}\\\text{Reciprocal of }\ \dfrac{5}{2}\ \text{is equal}\ \dfrac{2}{5}.\\\\\dfrac{5}{2}\times\dfrac{2}{5}=\dfrac{5\!\!\!\!\diagup}{2\!\!\!\!\diagup}\times\dfrac{2\!\!\!\!\diagup}{5\!\!\!\!\diagup}=\dfrac{1}{1}\times\dfrac{1}{1}=1\times1=1

Find the equation of a line that passes through (-5,4) and us parallel to y=-6/7x+3​
irina [24]

Given:

The given equation of line is

y=-\dfrac{6}{7}x+3

To find:

The equation of line that passes through (-5,4) and is parallel to the given line.

Solution:

Slope intercept form of a line is

y=mx+b    ...(i)

where, m is slope and b is y-intercept.

We have,

y=-\dfrac{6}{7}x+3      ...(ii)

On comparing (i) and (ii), we get

m=-\dfrac{6}{7}

Slope of given line is m=-\dfrac{6}{7}.

Slope of parallel lines are same. So, slope of parallel line is m=-\dfrac{6}{7}.

The required line passes through (-5,4) with slope m=-\dfrac{6}{7}. So, the equation of line is

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

y-4=-\dfrac{6}{7}(x-(-5))

y-4=-\dfrac{6}{7}(x+5)

y-4=-\dfrac{6}{7}x-\dfrac{30}{7}

Adding 4 on both sides, we get

y=-\dfrac{6}{7}x-\dfrac{30}{7}+4

y=-\dfrac{6}{7}x+\dfrac{-30+28}{7}

y=-\dfrac{6}{7}x-\dfrac{2}{7}

Therefore, the correct option is a.
