Answer: Please see explanation column for answer.

x= -36

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

from the attachment, Mai's solving is given as

1/3 (1/2x- 9) = 1/2 (x+18)

1/6x-3= 1/2x+9

1/4x-3=9

1/4x=12

x=48

Mai's error started when he subtracted wrongly 1/2 x from 1/6x which gave him 1/4 x instead of - 1/3 x.

Solving correctly, we have that

1/3(1/2x-9) = 1/2(x+18)

1/6x -3= 1/2x+ 9

taking like terms to like terms

1/6x-1/2x= 9+3

(1-3)/6x= 12

-2/6x= 12

-1/3x= 12

multiplying both sides by -3

-1/3x X -3 = 12 X -3

x= -36

Rotate rectangle ABCD 90ºccw about the origin. What<br> are the image coordinates?
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1. When rotating a point 90 degrees counterclockwise about the origin our point A(x,y) becomes A'(-y,x). In other words, switch x and y and make y negative.

2. The rule for a rotation by 180° about the origin is (x,y)→(−x,−y) .

3. Rotation of a point through 180°, about the origin when a point M (h, k) is rotated about the origin O through 180° in anticlockwise or clockwise direction, it takes the new position M' (-h, -k). ...

Solve for the value of X.
Mkey [24]
The answer is 40°
i will tell you how,
Total angle sum of any triangle is 180°
∠A + ∠B  + ∠E = 180°
70° + 80° + ∠E = 180°
solve for ∠E
∠E = 30°
Now solve use ∠BDE,
∠B + ∠D + ∠E = 180°
20° + 90° + 30° + x = 180°           (in triangle DEB, ∠E = 30 + x ) (∠D is 90°)
solve for x
there fore, x = 40°
