a = 85°

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Method 1</em>

5x = 2x + 57° (An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of its two interior opposite angles)

3x = 57°

x = 57/3 = 19°

a = 180 - 57 - 2x

a = 180 - 57 -2(19)

a = 85°

<em>Method 2</em>

2x + a + 57° = 180°

2x + a = 123° ==> 1

5x + a = 180°

x = (180° - a)/5 ==> 2

By substitution

2((180° - a)/5) + a = 123°

(360° - 2a)/5 + a = 123°

(360° - 2a)/5 = 123° - a

360° - 2a = 5(123° - a)

360° - 2a = 615° - 5a

-2a + 5a = 615° - 360°

3a = 255°

a = 85°

Completely simplified the expression for x plus 10 plus 6 x plus 2 x by combining like terms into your answer in the box.

siniylev [52]

We can first turn the text into a proper formula:

x plus 10 plus 6 x plus 2 x

x+10+6x+2x

The like terms are the numbers with

We can then put the like terms together to continue the calculation:

x+6x+2x+10

=9x + 10

Therefore, the answer is 9x + 10.

Hope it helps!

Write an equation in standard form of the line that contains the point (-1,2) amd is perpendicular to y = 3x - 1

Strike441 [17]

Since it is perpendicular to y=3x-1, the slope must be a negative reciprocal.
there the slope of the perpendicular line is $-\frac{1}{3} x$

So now we have,
$y=- \frac{1}{3} x+b$

To find b, we use the point that the line passes through and substitute it to the y and x values.

$2=- \frac{1}{3} (-1)+b$

which would give us b=5/3

Therefore, the equation of the line is
$y=- \frac{1}{3} x+ \frac{5}{3}$
