Answer:

x = 50

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a diagram showing two vertically opposite angles and we are to find the value of x.

We know that when two lines intersect each other, vertically opposite angles are formed which are equal to each other.

Therefore, we can write them as:

$2 ( x + 1 0 ) = 3 x - 3 0$

$2 x + 2 0 = 3 x - 3 0$

$3 x - 2 x = 2 0 + 3 0$

x = 50

Answer:

50 =x

Step-by-step explanation:

The two angles are vertical angles, so they are equal

2 (x+10) = 3x-30

Distribute the 2

2x+20 = 3x-30

Subtract 2x from each side

2x-2x+20 = 3x-2x-30

20 = x-30

Add 30 to each side

20+30 = x-30+30

50 =x

Answer:

50km per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

When you think of average speed it would be per hour, so when thinking 30 minutes is .5 of a hour that means when you add 30 minutes and 30 minutes you get 1 hour so you would add 25km and 25km and you would get its average speed per hour, I hope that made sense

Find the coordinates of the circumcenter for triangle DEF with coordinates D(1,3) E(8,3) and F(1,-5) show your work

nikklg [1K]

One leg is horizontal, on the line y=3. Another leg is vertical, on the line x=1. The point where these intersect, D(1, 3) is the vertex of a right angle. Any right triangle inscribed in a circle has its hypotenuse as the diameter of the circle.

Since the triangle is a right triangle, the circumcenter is the midpoint of the hypotenuse: ((8, 3) + (1, -5))/2 = (4.5, -1).
