Answer:
x=27.5
FG=72.5
GH=60
HF=47.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Sum of angles in a triangle=180
Therefore, FG+GH+HF=180
Substituting the values we have,
(3x - 10) + (2x+5) +(x+20) = 180
Collecting like terms
3x+2x+x = 180 +10 - 5 - 20
6x = 165
X= 27.5
FG = (3x - 10) = 3(27.5) - 10
FG= 72.5
GH= (2x+5) = 2(27.5)+5
GH=60
HF= x+20 =27.5+20
HF=47.5
I want to say it is A because if you simplify it then it should say 36x/6x. I hope this helps! If wrong correct me..
Perhaps the most concise way to factor is by "completing the square" which is how the quadratic formula is derived...
x^2+6x+8=0 move constant to other side, subtract 8 from both sides
x^2+6x=-8, halve the linear coefficient, square it, then add that to both sides, in this case (6/2)^2=3^2=9
x^2+6x+9=1 now the left side is a perfect square of the form
(x+3)^2=1 take the square root of both sides
x+3=±√1 subtract 3 from both sides
x=-3±√1
x=-3±1
x=-4 and -2
Since the zeros occur when x=-4 and -2 the factors of the equation are:
(x+2)(x+4)
Answer:
30
Step-by-step explanation:
2/3 = x/18
2*18 = 3x
36 = 3x
x=12
so there are 12 boys
12+18=30
