X=3 and X=-7 . Hope this helps:)
<span>Form a sequence that has two arithmetic means between -13 and 89. a. -13, 33, 43, 89 c. -13, 21, 55, 89 b. -18, -36, -72, -144 d. -18, -81, -144
Solution:
Since it has to be between -13 and 89, letter d and b are not anymore considered to be the answer.
for a:
33-(-13)=46=d
43-33=10=d the value for this d is different from the two sequence,
89-43=46=d
they have different value for d, thus this is not the answer!
for c:
21-(-13)=34=d
55-21=34=d
89-55=34=d
they have the same value for d, thus the correct answer is </span><span> c. -13, 21, 55, 89</span>
X-5/3=3
X=14/3

<LMP and <NMP are supplementary angles so sum = 180
<LMP + <NMP = 180
(-16x + 13) + ( - 20x + 23) = 180
-16x + 13 - 20x + 23 = 180
-36x + 36 = 180
-36x = 144
x = -4
<LMP = -16x + 13 = -16(-4) + 13 = 77
<NMP = - 20x + 23 = - 20(-4) + 23 = 103
Answer
<LMP = 77°
<NMP = 103°
