<span>An equation that would be perpendicular is opposite the reciprocal. </span>
Vertical angles are equal
5x - 40 = 3x + 8
5x - 3x = 8 + 40
2x = 48
x = 48/2
x = 24
m∠ABC = 3x + 8 = 3 * 24 + 8 = 80°
(or m∠ABC = 5x - 40 = 5 * 24 - 40 = 80°)
Answer:
1. D 2. A 3. Distribute the four in 4(x+1)
Step-by-step explanation:
1. It says that Jamie is saying that they are "not equivalent".
2. You have to use the distributive property to distribute the 4 to x and to the 1.
3. After distributing, compare the two expressions and now see if they are equivalent or not.
