MKL = 83, JKL = 127, JKM = 9x - 10 <em>given</em>
JKL + MKL = JKM <em>angle addition postulate</em>
127 + 83 = 9x - 10 <em>substitution</em>
210 = 9x - 10 <em>simplify (add like terms)</em>
220 = 9x <em>addition property of equality</em>
= x
Answer:
26 rows
Step-by-step explanation:
this is like a rectangle length×width situation.
seats per row = s
number of rows = r
s × r = 884
s = r + 8
so, we can use e.g. the second equation in the first :
(r + 8) × r = 884
r² + 8r = 884
r² + 8r - 884 = 0
the general solution to such a quadratic equation is
x = (-b ± sqrt(b² - 4ac))/(2a)
in our case
x = r
a = 1
b = 8
c = -884
r = (-8 ± sqrt(8² - 4×1×-884))/(2×1) =
= (-8 ± sqrt(64 + 3536))/2 = (-8 ± sqrt(3600))/2 =
= (-8 ± 60)/2 = -4 ± 30
r1 = -4 + 30 = 26
r2 = -4 - 30 = -34
a negative number did not make any sense for the number of rows, so r = 26 is our answer.
Answer:
<em>B. 86 degrees</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the following angles:
m∠NOQ = 110
m∠NOP = 24
Using the addition postulate:
m∠NOQ = m∠NOP + m∠POQ
110 = 24 + m∠POQ
m∠POQ = 110 - 24
m∠POQ = 86
<em>Hence the measure of m∠POQ is 86 degrees</em>
Answer:
53/50
Step-by-step explanation:
9/15 + 14/12
Simplify.
9/15 + 7/6
Make denominators equal.
54/90 + 105/90
Add fractions since denominators are equal.
159/90
Simplify.
= 53/50
Its a distributive propertyyyyyyy.
