Answer:

2/5(x-1)-3/5(x+1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Of is always multiplication

Because you are multiplying an equation *x-1* you are going to put it into parenthesis.

Put the multiplying number(s) on the outside of the parenthesis to make it distributive property.

Less than always means minus

Therefore, the answer will be 2/5(x-1)-3/5(x+1)

Exterior angle c = the sun of the two opposite interior angles a and b.

10x -23 = 5x -17 + 7x -26

Combine the right side:

10x -23 = 12x -43

Add 43 to both sides:

10x +20 = 12x

Subtract 10x from both sides:

20 = 2x

Divide both sides by 2

X = 10

Now you have x replace it in the equation for A:

A = 5x -27 = 5(10) -27 = 50-27 = 23

Angle A = 23 degrees.

cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

Speed

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the distance the formula is d=st. Where d is the distance, s is speed, and t is time. So in the equation, 3 must be the speed of the snail.

2 trains leave the station at the same time. Train A is traveling 16 miles slower than train B. The two trains are 720 miles apa
Ber [7]

Answer: the rate of speed for train A is 66 miles per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the speed of train B.

2 trains leave the station at the same time. Train A is traveling 16 miles per hour slower than train B. This means that the speed of train A would be x - 16 miles per hour.

The two trains are 720 miles apart after 4 hours. It means that both trains traveled a total distance of 720 miles in 4 hours.

Distance = speed × time

Distance travelled by train A after 4 hours is

4(x - 16) = 4x - 64

Distance travelled by train B after 4 hours is

4 × x = 4x

Since the total distance travelled by both trains is 720 miles, then

4x - 64 + 4x = 720

8x = 720 - 64 = 656

x = 656/8 = 82 miles per hour

The speed of train A would be

82 - 16 = 66 miles per hour.

Based on the information given say whether or not △ABC∼△FED. Explain your reasoning.
GalinKa [24]

Answer:

Yes, △ABC ∼ △FED by AA postulate.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Two triangles ABC and FED.

m∠A = m∠B

m∠C = m∠A + 30°

m∠E = m∠F = x

m∠D = 2x-20°.

Now, let m∠A = m∠B = y

So, m∠C = m∠A + 30° = y+30

Now, sum of all interior angles of a triangle is 180°. Therefore,

m∠A + m∠B +  m∠C = 180

y+y+y+30=180\\3y=180-30\\3y=150\\y=\frac{150}{3}=50

Therefore, m∠A = 50°, m∠B = 50° and m∠C =  m∠A + 30° = 50 + 30 = 80°.

Now, consider triangle FED,

m∠D+ m∠E + m∠F = 180

2x-20+x+x=180\\4x=180+20\\4x=200\\x=\frac{200}{4}=50

Therefore,  m∠F = 50°  

m∠E = 50° and  

m∠D =  2x-20=2(50)-20=100-20=80\°

So, both the triangles have congruent corresponding angle measures.

m∠A = m∠F = 50°

m∠B = m∠E = 50°

m∠C = m∠D = 80°

Therefore, the two triangles are similar by AA postulate.
