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°

You have $30 to spend on gas for your vehicle this week. If gas costs $2.42 per gallon, how many gallons of gas can you buy? Rou
BartSMP [9]

Answer:

you can get 12 gallons on gas

Step-by-step explanation:

x/30=1/2.42

step 1) cross multiply

x * 2.42 = 1 * 30

2.42x=30

step 2) divide both sides by 2.42

2.42x/2.42 = 30/2.42

= 12.396694

round to the nearest gallon

≈12 gallons

Which of the following could not be a value of n? side lengths of 9 and 13
daser333 [38]
The correct answer here would be D. And that is because, in a triangle, the sum of 2 of the sides has to be greater than the third side for all sides.  If we add 22 and 13 we get 35, and 35 is greater than 9, for sure. But if we add 13 and 9 we get 22 which is not greater than the third side length of 22; it would be collinear with the side length and it has to be greater than the side length.
