Because of the transversal and the parallel lines, we know that A+B=180°.

So:
5x + 20 + 9x - 92 = 180
14x - 72 = 180
14x = 180 + 72
14x = 252
x = 252/14
x = 18

A = 5x + 20
A = 5*18 + 20
A = 90 + 20 = 110

(Let’s check:
B = 9*18 - 92
B = 162 - 92
B = 70
70 + 110 = 180)

Answer:

$\large\boxed{\bold{NO\ REAL\ SOLUTIONS}}\\\boxed{x=4-2i,\ x=4+2i}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$Domain:\\c-4\neq0\ \wedge\ c-5\neq0\Rightarrow c\neq4\ \wedge\ c\neq5\\\\\dfrac{c}{c-5}=\dfrac{4}{c-4}\qquad\text{cross multiply}\\\\c(c-4)=4(c-5)\qquad\text{use the distributive property}\\\\c^2-4c=4c-20\qquad\text{subtract}\ 4c\ \text{from both sides}\\\\c^2-8c=-20\qquad\text{add 20 to both sides}\\\\c^2-8c+20=0\qquad\text{use the quadratic formula}$

$\text{for}\ ax^2+bx+c=0\\\\\text{if}\ b^2-4ac0,\ \text{then the equation has two solutions}\ x=\dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

$x^2-8x+20=0\\\\a=1,\ b=-8,\ c=20\\\\b^2-4ac=(-8)^2-4(1)(20)=64-80=-16$

$\text{In the set of complex numbers:}\\\\i=\sqrt{-1}\\\\\text{therefore}\ \sqrt{b^2-4ac}=\sqrt{-16}=\sqrt{(16)(-1)}=\sqrt{16}\cdot\sqrt{-1}=4i\\\\x=\dfrac{-(-8)\pm4i}{2(1)}=\dfrac{8\pm4i}{2}=\dfrac{8}{2}\pm\dfrac{4i}{2}=4\pm2i$

Answer:

Answers:

Rate of change = -5

Initial value = 25

Step-by-step explanation:

Each time x increases by 2 (eg from x = 1 to x = 3), the value of y drops by 10 (eg from y = 20 to y = 10)

Therefore the slope is...

slope = rise/run = (change in y)/(change in x) = -10/2 = -5

slope = -5

So each time x increases by 1, y will decrease by 5

Flip things around: each time x decreases by 1, y will increase by 5

So the pair (x,y) = (1,20) shown in row 1 of the table leads to (0,25) based on the rule above. Another way to see this is to plug m = -5, x = 1 and y = 20 into y = mx+b and solve for b to get b = 25
