Answer:

x = 12

z = 101

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello There!

First lets find z

Well the angle that has a measure of 79 degrees and angle z are supplementary angles meaning that the sum of the two is 180

So we can find the missing angle by subtract the given angle (79 in this case) from 180

180 - 79 = 101 so z = 101

Now lets find x

The angle that has a measure of 79 degrees and the angle labeled (6x+7) are vertical angles

If you didn't know vertical angles are congruent

That being said lets create an equation to solve for x

79 = 6x + 7

now we solve for x

step 1 subtract 7 from each side by

7 - 7 cancels out

79 - 7 = 72

now we have 72 = 6x

step 2 divide each side by 6

72/6=12

6x/6=x

we're left with x = 12

In ΔLMN, \overline{LN}

Karolina [17]

Answer:

$\bold{\angle NLM = 10^\circ}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a ΔLMN.

Line LN is extended to point O.

such that:

$\text{m}\angle MNO = (5x-13)^{\circ}$

$\text{m}\angle NLM = (x-4)^{\circ}$ and

$\text{m}\angle LMN = (2x+19)^{\circ}$

To find:

$\text{m}\angle NLM=?$

Solution:

Kindly refer to the attached image for the given triangle and dimensions of angles.

Let us recall the external angle property of a triangle:

The external angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of two opposite internal angles.

i.e.

$\angle MNO = \angle NLM + \angle LMN\\\Rightarrow 5x-13 = x-4+2x+19\\\Rightarrow 5x-13 = 3x+15\\\Rightarrow 5x-3x = 13+15\\\Rightarrow 2x=28\\\Rightarrow x =14$

Putting the value of $x$ in $\angle NLM$ .

$\angle NLM=14-4 \\\Rightarrow \bold{\angle NLM = 10^\circ}$

Each month, 8 magazines arrive at Sydney's home. Write an equation that would show the number of motnths (n) it took for Sydney

Dovator [93]

C.
Since 8 magazines are areiving each month (n) and the total is 56, all you have to do is multiply 8 by n and you get 56, the actual answer would be 7 though.

Find the tenth term in each sequence. -1,2/3,7/3,4,17/3

Luba_88 [7]

It'a an arithmetic sequence:

$a_1=-1\\\\a_2=-1+\dfrac{5}{3}=-\dfrac{3}{3}+\dfrac{5}{3}=\dfrac{2}{3}\\\\a_3=\dfrac{2}{3}+\dfrac{5}{3}=\dfrac{7}{3}\\\\a_4=\dfrac{7}{3}+\dfrac{5}{3}=\dfrac{12}{3}=4\\\\a_5=4+\dfrac{5}{3}=\dfrac{12}{3}+\dfrac{5}{3}=\dfrac{17}{3}\\\vdots\\\\\text{The general formula for nth term of an arithmetic sequence}\\\\a_n=a_1+(n-1)d\\\\\text{We have}\ a_1=-1\ \text{and}\ d=\dfrac{5}{3}.\\\\\text{Substitute}\\\\a_n=-1+(n-1)\left(\dfrac{5}{3}\right)=-1+\dfrac{5}{3}n-\dfrac{5}{3}=\dfrac{5}{3}n-\dfrac{3}{3}-\dfrac{5}{3}$

$\boxed{a_n=\dfrac{5}{3}n-\dfrac{8}{3}}$
