Answer:

x = -7

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Pre-Algebra</u>

  • Order of Operations: BPEMDAS
  • Equality Properties

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define equation</u>

2.5x + 10 = x - 0.5

<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>

  1. Subtract <em>x </em>on both sides:                    1.5x + 10 = -0.5
  2. Subtract 10 on both sides:                  1.5x = -10.5
  3. Divide both sides by 1.5:                     x = -7

<u>Step 3: Check</u>

<em>Plug in x to verify it's a solution.</em>

  1. Substitute:                    2.5(-7) + 10 = -7 - 0.5
  2. Multiply:                        -17.5 + 10 = -7 - 0.5
  3. Add/Subtract:               -7.5 = -7.5

And we have our answer!

Help pls asap!!!!! !!!!!
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

It is 40 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

You can start off by understanding this is not a right angle (exactly 90 degrees, think of a corner of a room) or and obtuse angle (more than 90 degrees, bigger than a right angle). With that information we know that it is an acute angle (less than 90 degrees, smaller than a right angle). With that we have 40 and 50 degrees left. When you compare the angle with the 40 degrees one, it is the same size. The angle 1 is a reflection of the triangle with the 40 degrees angle. Hope this helps :)
