To find the answer you must first make the equation which is
(5x)+85=150
subtract 85 from 150
(5x)=65
now divide 65 by 5
resulting in the answer
X=13
To check this
(5 x 13)+85=160
(5x)+85≤150
Answer:
L = (x - 2) meters
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of the rectangle = (x² - 7x + 10) m²
The width = (x - 5) m
length = ?
Area of a rectangle = length × width
x² - 7x + 10 = L(x -5)
note L = length
divide both sides by (x-5)
(x² - 7x + 10)/(x - 5) = L
L = x² - 7x + 10 / (x -5)
Factorize x² - 7x + 10
find the numbers you can multiply to give you 10 and also add to give you -7
The numbers are -2 and -5. Therefore,
x² - 2x - 5x + 10 = 0
x(x - 2) - 5(x - 2) = 0
(x-5)(x-2) = 0
Let us go back to our division
L = x² - 7x + 10 / (x -5)
x² - 7x + 10 = (x-5)(x-2)
L = (x-5)(x-2) / (x -5)
L = (x - 2) meters
Equals 180 because the exterior angle in question is equal to the sum of the other two angles in the triangle. In other words, the other two angles in the triangle (the ones that add up to form the exterior angle) must combine with the angle in the bottom right corner to make a 180 degree angle.
-----------------------------------
Add whole numbers.
2x + 1 + 37 + 118 = 180
Add whole number (if there is any).
2x + 38 +118 = 180
Subtract 156 from both sides to have one side have a variable.
2x + 156 = 180
-156 -156
Divide both sides by 2 because you don't need the whole number with the variable.
2x = 24

2 2
You get the answer as 12.
x = 12
Check:
2(12) + 1 + 37 + 118 = 180
24 + 1 + 37 + 118 = 180
25 + 37 + 118 = 180
62 + 118 = 180
180 = 180
10(0.5x + 6) = 8
5x + 60 = 8
5x = 8 - 60
5x = -52
x = -52/5
x = -10.4
