Answer:

x = 19

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's convert the given statements into algebraic expressions.

R is five more than twice x:

R = 2x + 5

S is one more than x:

S = x + 1

T is sixteen less than seven times x:

T = 7x - 16

Also, we know, the sum of 3 angles in a triangle is ALWAYS EQUAL to 180 degrees. Thus we can write:

R + S + T = 180

Substituting the expressions, we have:

2x + 5 + x + 1 + 7x - 16 = 180

Now we do algebra and simply solve for x. Shown below:

2x + 5 + x + 1 + 7x - 16 = 180\\10x-10=180\\10x=180+10\\10x=190\\x=\frac{190}{10}\\x=19

Hence, x = 19

a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

52/ 10 = 5 2/10 or 5 1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

first turn the mixed fractions into improper fraction

13 1/10= 131/10

7 9/10= 79/10

since the two fractions already have a common denominator just subtract

131 - 79 = 52

52/ 10 = 5 2/10 or 5 1/5

Find the equation of a line perpendicular to -x=4-y that passes through the point (-3,8)
Wewaii [24]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  y = -x +5

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving the given equation for y, we have ...

  y = x +4

The slope of this line is the coefficient of x: 1. The slope of the perpendicular line will be the opposite reciprocal of this: -1/1 = -1. The y-intercept of the perpendicular line can be found from ...

  b = y -mx = 8 -(-1)(-3) = 5

The perpendicular line has equation ...

  y = -x +5
