Answer:

x = 23°

Step-by-step explanation:

Note: Complementary angles measure 90°

3x + (x - 2)° = 90°

=> 3x + x - 2° = 90°

=> 4x - 2° = 90°

Add the additive inverse of -2 to both sides of the equation

i.e 4x - 2° + 2° = 90° + 2°

=> 4x = 92°

Divide both sides of the equation by the coefficient of x which is 4

=> 4x/4 = 92°/4

x = 23°

Name a point on this line. y - 8 = -7(x + 1) (-1,8) (1, -8) (8,-1) (-8,1)

Ksju [112]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You should approach this problem by plugging the answer choices into the equation, since there are only four that you need to do. A works because 8-8 = -7(-1+1) which are both equal to 0

3. A straight line passes through two points with

kirza4 [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the slope of the line

(x₁ , y₁) = (6 , 8) & (x₂ , y₂) = (0 , 5)

$Slope = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}\\\\=\frac{5-8}{0-6}\\\\=\frac{-3}{-6}\\\\=\frac{1}{2}$

m = 1/2 ;(x₁ , y₁) = (6 , 8)

y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

$y - 8 = \frac{1}{2}(x - 6)\\\\y - 8 =\frac{1}{2}x -\frac{1}{2}*6\\\\y - 8 =\frac{1}{2}x- 3\\\\y = \frac{1}{2}x - 3 + 8\\\\y = \frac{1}{2}x + 5$

The width of a rectangle is 3 less than its length find the width of the rectangle if its perimeter is 26ft

Marta_Voda [28]

The width of rectangle is 5 feet.

Let us assume the length of rectangle to be x. So, the width of rectangle will be (x - 3).

Now, as per the known fact, perimeter, length and width of rectangle are related by the formula -

Perimeter = 2 × (length + width)

Keep the values in formula to find the value of width

26 = 2 × (x + x - 3)

Performing addition of variables inside the bracket

26 = 2 × (2x - 3)

Shifting 2 to other side of equation to find the value of x

2x - 3 = $\frac{26}{2}$

Performing division to find the value of x

2x - 3 = 13

Shifting 3 to other side of equation to find the value of x

2x = 13 + 3

Performing addition to find the value of x

2x = 16

Shifting 2 as denominator to other side of equation to find the value of x

x = $\frac{16}{2}$

Performing division to find the value of x

x = 8

So, length of rectangle is 8 feet

Width of rectangle = x - 3

Width of rectangle = 8 - 3

Width of rectangle = 5 feet

Hence, the width of rectangle is 5 feet.

Please help. Not sure how to do this one

Sladkaya [172]

The correct answer is: Option 3: $(hofog)(x)=\frac{x-14}{x+4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$f(x)=\frac{x-6}{x}\\g(x)=x+4\\h(x)=3x-2$

We have to find

$(hofog)(x)$

This will be equal to:

$h(f(g(x)))$

So we have to find the composition of (fog)(x) first

$(fog)(x) = f(g(x))\\=\frac{x+4-6}{x+4}\\=\frac{x-2}{x+4}$

Now,

$(hofog)(x)=h(f(g(x)))\\=3(\frac{x-2}{x+4})-2\\=\frac{3x-6}{x+4}-2\\=\frac{3x-6-2(x+4)}{x+4}\\=\frac{3x-6-2x-8}{x+4}\\=\frac{x-14}{x+4}$

The correct answer is: Option 3: $(hofog)(x)=\frac{x-14}{x+4}$
