Change back to fraction form.

1/10, 1/4, 2/5, 2/3.

vagabundo [1.1K]
Angle K = angle M

(4x-1)=(2x+27)

4x-2x=27+1

2x=28

x=14

K=4x-1 then 4(14)-1
55 degrees
M=2x+27 then 2(14) +27
55 degrees
K+M+L =180
55+55+L=180
110+L=180
L=70 degrees
Therefore K=55 degrees M=55 degrees L=70 degrees

IF the sum of four times a number and four less than three times a number is seventeen what is the number
Virty [35]

Answer: 3

Step-by-step explanation: This equation can be written as 4x+3x-4=17

We can now solve.

Moving the 4 to the other side (adding) and we get 21.

Now we have 4x+3x. Adding like terms, we get 7x = 21. Now we divide by 7.

X = 3.
