Answer:

$x=8, -2$

Step-by-step explanation:

$2|x-3|-8=2$

$2|x-3|=10$

$|x-3|=5$ $|x-3|=-5$

$x-3=5$ $x-3=-5$

$x=8$ $x=-2$

The measure of the supplement of an angle is 20° more than three times the measure of the original angle. find the measures of t

viva [34]

If the original angle is x degrees then its supplement is 180 - x degrees.

we have the equation:-

180 - x = 3x + 20

160 = 4x

x = 40

The original angle is 40 degrees and its supplement is 140 degrees

Given the slope m=4 what is the perpendicular slope

ELEN [110]

When a line is perpendicular, the slope is the negative reciprocal. Therefore, since the slope is 4, the slope of a line perpendicular is -1/4

The diagram shows a straight line ABCD.

Nady [450]

Answer:

B (0, 285 ) , C (380, 0 )

Step-by-step explanation:

the first step is to obtain the equation of the line in slope- intercept form

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

calculate m using the slope formula

m = $\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }$

with (x₁, y₁ ) = A(- 260, 480 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = D (620, - 180 )

m = $\frac{-180-480}{620-(-260)}$ = $\frac{-660}{620+260}$ = $\frac{-660}{880}$ = - $\frac{66}{88}$ = - 0.75 , then

y = - 0.75x + c ← is the partial equation

to find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equatio

using (620, - 180 ) , then

- 180 = - 465 + c ⇒ c = - 180 + 465 = 285

So y- intercept is B (0, 285 )

y = - 0.75x + 285 ← equation of line

to find the x- intercept , let y = 0 in the equation and solve for x

0 = - 0.75 + 285 ( subtract 285 from both sides )

- 285 = - 0.75x ( divide both sides by - 0.75 )

380 = x

x- intercept is C (380, 0 )
