Find X, and the two angle measures.

Mathematics
1 answer:
Snowcat [4.5K]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

x = -4

m<LMP = 77°

m<NMP = 103°

Step-by-step explanation:

Straight angles by definition have a total measure of 180°.

This means that m<LMP and m<NMP are 180° together.

Therefore m<LMP + m<NMP = 180°.

[substitution property]

(-16x + 13)° + (-20x + 23)° = 180°

[associative property of addition]

(-36x + 36)° = 180°

-36x + 36 = 180

–36 –36

-36x = 144

÷-36 ÷-36

x = -4

_________________

Since m<LMP = (-16x + 13)°.

Using substitution with x = -4:

m<LMP = (-16(-4) + 13)° = (64 + 13)° = 77°.

Since m<NMP = (-20x + 23)°.

Using substitution with x = -4:

m<NMP = (-20(-4) + 23)° = (80 + 23)° = 103°.

This is true because 77° + 103° = 180°.

Using addition rules, show how to add the two real numbers. 7 + (-14)
Debora [2.8K]
Hello there! Using the rules of addition, we can identify that when adding a positive to a negative number, the result shifts toward the positive side but takes the sign of the greater number. It will be demonstrated in this problem to simplify how problems like this are solved:

Step 1: Rewrite the problem

-14 + 7 = ?

Step 2: Since we’re adding 7 to a negative number, that means the negative number decreases by the quantity it’s being added by.

This means we would have to really subtract 7 from 14 to get 7.

Step 3: Keep the sign of the greater number

Since 14 is greater than 7, we will keep the negative sign in accordance.

Step 4: Simplify

-14 + 7 = -7

Using the rules of addition, we will find that -14 + 7 = -7. If you need additional help, let me know and I will gladly assist you.

If f(x) is an even function and (6, 8) is one the points on the graph of f(x), which reason explains why (–6, 8) must also be a
ch4aika [34]

Definition: A function is "even" when f(x) = f(−x) for all x.

Geometrically speaking, the graph face of an even function is symmetric with respect to the y-axis, meaning that its graph remains unchanged after reflection about the y-axis.

If point (6, 8) is one the points on the graph of f(x), then f(6)=8 and since function is even, you can state that f(-6)=f(6)=8. This means that point (-6,8) must also be a point on the graph. Geometrically it means that the output of a negative x-value and its opposite is the same.

Answer: correct choice is A.

The sum of the first n terms of an arithmetic sequence is n/2(4n + 20).
lesantik [10]

Answer:

(a).

S_{n} =  \frac{n}{2} (4n + 20) \\  \\S _{n - 1} =  \frac{(n - 1)}{2} (4n - 4 + 20) \\  \\ S _{n - 1} =  \frac{(n - 1)}{2} (4n + 16) \\  \\S _{n - 1} = \frac{(n - 1)(4n + 16)}{2}  \\   \\  { \boxed{S _{n - 1} =  {2 {n}^{2} + 6n - 8}}} \\

(b).

from general equation:

S _{n - 1} =  \frac{(n - 1)}{2} (4n + 16)

first term is 4n

common difference:

16 =  \{(n - 1) - 1 \}d \\ 16 = (n - 2)d \\ d =  \frac{16}{n - 2}
