Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Because vertical angles are always equal, we want to solve 
.
We can add 10 to both sides to get 
.
We can subtract 
from both sides to get 
.
Lastly, we divide both sides by 20 to get 
.
So, 
and we're done!
The check is left as an exercise to the reader.
Answer:
b
Step-by-step explanation:
The right answer for the question that is being asked and shown above is that: "B.No, the answer is not reasonable. It should be about 13 quarts."A student solved this problem and said the answer is quart. Lila used quarts of paint to paint her room. Renee used quarts to paint her room. Lila use than Renee No, the answer is not reasonable. It should be about 13 quarts.
-1/2(x + 2) + 11/2 + x = 3
-1/2x - 1 + 11/2 + x = 3
1/2x + 9/2 = 3
1/2x = 3 - 9/2 = -3/2
x = -3/2 * 2 = -3
x = -3
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a question that uses the Pythagorean Theorem.
a = 35 feet
b = x which is the height of the tree.
c = 3*x + 1 so we are trying to find x. Substitute into a b and c
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
35^2 + x^2 = (3x + 1)^2
35^2 + x^2 = 9x^2 + 6x + 1 Subtract x^2 from both sides.
35^2 = 8x^2 + 6x + 1 Subtract 35^2 from both sides.
0 = 8x^2 + 6x + 1 - 35^2
0 = 8x^2 + 6x - 1224
Does this factor?
(x + 12.75)(x - 12)
x - 12 = 0 is the only value that works.
x = 12
The tree is 12 feet high.
Note: I used the quadratic formula to solve this.
