Answer:
x = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the remote interior angles.
18x +5 = (46) +(-1 +8x)
10x = 40 . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract (5+8x) from both sides, simplify
x = 4 . . . . . . divide by 10

<em>Additional comment</em>
The exterior angle is (18)(4) +5 = 77°. The marked unknown interior angle is -1+(8)(4) = 31°. The sum of the two remote interior angles is 46°+31° = 77°. The unmarked interior angle is 180°-77° = 103°.
Answer:
x = 3√7
Step-by-step explanation:
From the right triangle given in the picture,
Altitude or height of the triangle (AD) = x
Base or hypotenuse of the given triangle (BC) = 16
Length of segment BD = 16 - 7 = 9
By using geometric mean theorem in the given triangle,
(AD)² = (BD)(CD)
x² = 9×7
x = √63
x = 3√7
In order to solve this problem, we need to figure out what percent 2,430 is of 56,000. We do this by dividing 2,430 by 56,000. This is equal to 0.04339. We multiply this by 100 to get a percent. This is equal to 4.339%, so the tax rate is 4.339%.
