Answer:

a=52

Step-by-step explanation:

-(a + 3)= -55

-(a) + -(3)= -55

-a - 3 (+3) = - 55+3

-a -3(+3) = -52

-a = - 52

a=52

or

-(a + 3)= -55

(a + 3)= 55

(a) + (3)= 55

a + 3(-3)= 55(-3)

a = 52

Las dos rectas que se cortan formando un ángulo de 135° son <em>secantes</em>. (Opción: C)

Las dos rectas en cuestión no pueden ser <em>paralelas</em> pues sus pendientes son <em>distintas</em> y, por consiguiente, se <em>intersecan</em> en algún lugar del plano.

Tampoco pueden ser semirrectas pues el enunciado indica que existen dos rectas y las rectas no tienen <em>principio</em> ni <em>fin</em>.

Mucho menos pueden ser <em>perpendiculares</em>, pues el ángulo es distinto a 90°.

En consecuencia, las dos rectas que se cortan formando un ángulo de 135° son secantes. (Opción: C)
