The sum of the measures of the angles of a triangle is 180. The sum of the measures of the second and third angles is five times

the measure of the first angle. The third angle is 14 more than the second. Let x, y, and z represent the measures of the first, second, and third angles, respectively. Find the measures of the three angles.

Answer:

x=30\\y=68\\z=82

Step-by-step explanation:

x = measure of the first angle

y = measure of the second angle

z = measure of the third angle

The sum of the measures of the second and third (y+z) is five times the measure of the first angle (=5x)

y+z=5x

The third angle is 14 more than the second

z=y+14

And remember that the sum of these three angles must be equal to 180.

x+y+z=180

Let's take these equations

y+z=5x\\z=y+14\\x+y+z=180

If you take a look at the first equation, we have y+z = 5x and we have y+z in the third equation as well, we can replace that....

x+y+z=180\\x+(y+z)=180\\x+(5x)=180

Distribute the + sign

x+5x=180

Combine like terms;

6x=180

Divide by 6.

x=\frac{180}{6}\\ x=30

We have now defined that the measure of the first angle is 30º.

Let's take another equation... for example z=y+14

I'm going to take this one because if I replace x and z in the third equation, all I'll have left will be y.

x+y+z=180\\30+y+(y+14)=180

Distribute the + sign and Combine like terms;

30+y+y+14=180\\44+2y=180\\

Subtract 44 to isolate 2y.

2y=180-44\\2y=136

Now divide by 2.

y=\frac{136}{2}\\ y=68

We already have the value of x and y. Once again, replacing this in the third equation will leave us with z to solve for.

x+y+z=180\\30+68+z=180\\98+z=180\\z=180-98\\z=82

Find the equation of the line with slope 3/7 and that passes through the point (14, 0). Write your answer in the form y = mx + b
Allushta [10]

Answer:

y = 3/7x - 6

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Pre-Algebra</u>

  • Order of Operations: BPEMDAS
  • Equality Properties

<u>Algebra I</u>

Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx + b

  • m - slope
  • b - y-intercept

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

Slope <em>m</em> = 3/7

Point (14, 0)

<u>Step 2: Find y-intercept </u><em><u>b</u></em>

  1. Substitute:                    0 = 3/7(14) + b
  2. Multiply:                        0 = 6 + b
  3. Isolate <em>b</em>:                       -6 = b
  4. Rewrite:                         b = -6

<u>Step 3: Write linear equation</u>

y = 3/7x - 6

Are -2x + 9 = 7 and 2x = 2 equivalent?​
DochEvi [55]

Answer:

Yes because the answer to both of them is 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

−2x+9=7

Step 1: Subtract 9 from both sides.

−2x+9−9=7−9

−2x=−2

Step 2: Divide both sides by -2.

−2x

−2

=

−2

−2

x=1

Answer:

x=1    

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

2x=2

Step 1: Divide both sides by 2.

2x

2

=

2

x=1

Answer:

x=1
