Answer:
x = 21
Step-by-step explanation:
If RECT is a rectangle, each of its interior angles are right angles, 90°. Since ∠RTC is split into two angles, the sum of the two angles must be 90°. (Angles that add to 90° are called complementary angles).
∠RTC = ∠RTE + ∠ETC Formula for complementary angles
90 = 2x + 6 + 42 Substitute the angles
90 = 2x + 48 Combined like terms to simplify
Now isolate "x" to solve
90 - 48 = 2x + 48 - 48 Subtract 48 from both sides
42 = 2x
42/2 = 2x/2 Divide both sides by 2
x = 21
Therefore x is 21.
When written in standard form, you have to order each term from the highest degree to the lowest degree.
b. x^4y² + 4x²y + 8x is your answer.

Answer:
x=12
Step-by-step explanation:
Since this is a right triangle we can use the Pythagorean theorem
a^2 + b^2 = c^2 where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse
9^2 + x^2 = 15^2
81 + x^2 = 225
Subtract 81 from each side
x^2 =225-81
x^2 =144
Take the square root of each side
sqrt(x^2) = sqrt(144)
x=12
Substitution would be a great approach to solving this system, because the first equation defines y as x - 10 and you can thus substitute x - 10 for y in the second equation:
2x + (x - 10) = 4
Then 3x - 10 = 4, and 3x = 14. Solving for x: x = 14/3.
Since y = x-10, subst. 14/3 for x to find y: y = 14/3 - 30/3 = -16/3
The solution is (14/3, -16/3).
