Answer:
x = 90, y = 43
Step-by-step explanation:
By the SAS theorem (as you can tell by the picture) angles B and C are similar, which means they are both 47 degrees.
Since the triangles are similar (SAS theorem) then angle x must be equal to 90 degrees, because they are on a straight line both angles would need to add up to 180 degrees.
Now that you have two angles out of three, you can solve for the last angle by setting up this equation:
B + D + A = 180
47 + 90 + A = 180
Add 47 and 90 together.
137 + A = 180
Subtract 137 from both sides.
A = 43
x = D and y = A, therefore x = 90 and y = 43.
Answer:
5b-5
Step-by-step explanation:
When doing these kinds of problems you want to do dributive property which means you multiply whatever number is outside of the (), which is 5, and multiply that by b and 1.
when numbers are outside the () and right next to them without anything like +,-, or a division sign, it means to multiply.
Answer (depending if the fraction is positive or negative):
- x ≥ 18
- x ≤ -18
Step-by-step explanation:
If the fraction is positive:
- Write it out:
- Multiply each side by 6 to cancel out the 6 under x. It should now look like this: x ≥ 18
If the fraction is negative:
- Write it out:
- Multiply each side by -6 to cancel out the -6 under x. It should now look like this: x ≤ -18
I hope this helps!
