Neither!

2n-5= 8n+7

+5 +5

2n= 8n+12

/2 /2 /2

n= 4n+6

2(4n+6)-5= 8(4n+6)+7

8n+7= 32n+55

-7 -7

8n= 32n+48

/8 /8 /8

n= 4n+6

This problem has NO SOLUTION!

Quadrilateral WXYZ is a rhombus. What is the measure of < XWZ?

den301095 [7]

Answer:

<XWZ=52°

Step-by-step explanation:

By alternate angle property, < XZY=<WXZ=64°

The base angles of an isosceles triangle are also equal therefore

<WXZ=<WZX=64°

The sum of angles in a triangle is 180°

< XWZ+<WXZ+<WZX=180°

<XWZ+64+64=180°

<XWZ=180°-64-64

This simplifies to

<XWZ=52°
