Use angle sum property (the 3 angles in a triangle sum up to 180°).
2x + x + 54 = 180
3x + 54 = 180
3x = 180 - 54
3x = 126
x = 126/3
x = 42

Hope it helps ⚜
The compare is hat they both have the same y-intercept, the contrast is that tone line is positive and the other line is negative
Answer:
Part 1) The rate of change is
Part 2) The initial value is 68
Part 3) The function rule to the linear model is 
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The linear equation in slope intercept form is equal to

where
m is the slope or unit rate
b is the y-intercept or initial value
step 1
Find the slope
take two points from the table
(0,68) and (15,85)
The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to
substitute the values
In a linear function , the slope is the same that the rate of change
therefore
The rate of change is
step 2
Find the y-intercept
we know that
The y-intercept is the value of y when the value of x is equal to zero
Looking at the table
For x=0, y=68
therefore
The y-intercept is
The y-intercept is also called the initial value
therefore
The initial value is 68
step 3
Determine the function rule to the linear model

we have
substitute

Let's write some equations.
Mingwei's distance from Town A after

hours from 8:00 is

.
Ali's distance from Town B after

hours is

, since he doesn't start walking for 40 minutes.
When Mingwei's distance is twice Ali's, they've met up (since their distance from Town A is twice their distance from Town B).
So, this gives

, so

, so

, so the time is 10:40.
After

hours, Mingwei has traveled

kilometers while Ali has traveled sixty, so the distance between the towns is

kilometers.
The first composite shape we would need to find is the rectangle. We would use the formula length multiplied by width. The second composite shape is a hemisphere. The area of a hemisphere is Pi multiplied by the radius squared and then divide it by 2. To find the area of both of these figures, add up the area for each one and then you will get the
area of both.
