Step-by-step explanation:
Hey There!
so this is a parallelogram so opposite angles are congruent
So basically what i am saying is that angle P is congruent to angle R
So we need to solve for x
We know that angle P and angle Q are supplements meaning that they will add up to 180
so we setup the equation
step 1 combine like terms
now we have
180=11x-7
step 2 add 7 to each side
180+7=187
-7+7 cancels out
now we have
187=11x
step 2 divide each side by 11
187/11=17
x=17
now we plug in 17 to (3x+5) to get the value of angle R
17x3=51
51+5=56
therefore m∠R = 56
Explanation:
This can be explained by thinking numbers on the number line as:
Lets take we have to multiply a positive number (say, 2) with a negative number say (-3)
<u>2×(-3)</u>
Suppose someone is standing at 0 on the number line and to go to cover -3 , the person moves 3 units in the left hand side. Since, we have to compute for 2×(-3), The person has to cover the same distance twice. At last, he will be standing at -6, which is a negative number.
A image is shown below to represent the same.
<u>Thus, a positive times a negative is a negative number.</u>
