Answer:

x = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

-8x - 28 = 2x - 18

+28 +28

-8x = 2x + 10

-2x -2x

-10x = 10

÷-10 ÷-10

x = -1

Solve for x.<br> 2x² +21x-61 = (x+7)²<br><br> Please

Ymorist [56]

Answer:

$x = \frac{-7 +\sqrt{489} }{2}$

$x = \frac{-7 - \sqrt{489} }{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

2x² +21x-61 = (x+7)²

expand

2x² + 21x - 61 = x² + 14x +49

move everything to one side

x² + 7x - 12 = 0

use quadratic formula

$x = \frac{-b +- \sqrt{b^{2}-4ac } }{2a}$

plug in the values

$x = \frac{-7 +- \sqrt{7^{2}-4(1)(-110) } }{2(1)}$

solve

$x = \frac{-7 +- \sqrt{49-4(1)(-110) } }{2}$

$x = \frac{-7 +- \sqrt{49 + 440 } }{2}$

$x = \frac{-7 +- \sqrt{489} }{2}$

Suppose that LMN is isosceles with base LN suppose that M

ira [324]

Given:

In an isosceles triangle LMN, LM=MN.

$m\angle M=(3x+17)^\circ,m\angle L=(2x+36)^\circ$

To find:

The measure of the angles L, M and N.

Solution:

In triangle LMN,

$LM=MN$ (Given)

$m\angle N=m\angle L=(2x+36)^\circ$ (Base angles of an isosceles triangle are equal)

Now,

$m\angle L+m\angle M+m\angle N=180^\circ$

$(2x+36)^\circ+(3x+17)^\circ+(2x+36)^\circ=180^\circ$

$(7x+89)^\circ=180^\circ$

$(7x+89)=180$

On further simplification, we get

$7x=180-89$

$7x=91$

$x=\dfrac{91}{7}$

$x=13$

The value of x is 13. Using this value, we get

$m\angle L=(2(13)+36)^\circ$

$m\angle L=(26+36)^\circ$

$m\angle L=62^\circ$

Similarly,

$m\angle M=(3(13)+17)^\circ$

$m\angle M=(39+17)^\circ$

$m\angle M=56^\circ$

And,

$m\angle N=m\angle L$

$m\angle N=62^\circ$

Therefore, the measure of angles are $m\angle L=62^\circ,m\angle M=56^\circ,m\angle N=62^\circ$ .
