By using the corresponding angles theorem we can see that (6x - 5)° and (x - 25)° are supplementary angles, so they add up to 180°.
This means that:
(6x - 5) + (x - 25) = 180
7x - 30 = 180
7x = 210
x = 30
If you want to find the exact values of the angles, just plug x = 30 into the angle values! :)
This is a very good question to know about. People who make tests really like it.
The way to solve it is to make the slower car stop and use the difference in speed = to the rate. then do it as an ordinary d = r*t problem.
The difference in speeds is 44 - 36 = 8 miles/ hour.
d = 260 miles
r = 8 mph
t = ???
t = d/r
t = 260/8
t = 32.5 hours.
Thats 32 1/2 hours.
If you do 40/19.95 the answer you get will be 49¢ or so
Hey there!
Here's your answer: m<2=114.52 degrees
Here's how I got it: we know that a linear pair of angles is supplementary, aka the sum of the angles is 180 degrees.
you would add 18x-1 and 23x+7 together to equal 180 and solve for x.
then, you would substitute x for 4.24 (rounded) into 23x+17
23(4.24)+17=114.52
Hope this helps!
