2X-2=2X+9
Add 2
2X=2X+11
Subract 2X
0= 11
This has no solution to this problem
Answer: X = 27
Step-by-step explanation: If we observe very closely, we have two similar triangles in the diagram. The first one is ABC and the other triangle is EDC. Also take note that angle ACB in the first triangle is equal in measurement to angle ECD (45 degrees) in the other triangle, (Opposite angles).
Hence in triangle ECD, we have identified two angles so far which are angle 2x + 10 and angle 45. Same applies to triangle ABC, we already have two angles which are, 3x - 10 and 45.
However angle D in the second triangle is equal in measurement to angle B in the first triangle
(Alternate angles).
Hence we have a third angle in triangle ABC which is
Angle B = 2x + 10.
Therefore 3x - 10 + (2x + 10) + 45 = 180
(Sum of angles in a triangle)
3x - 10 + 2x + 10 + 45 = 180
By collecting like terms we now have
3x + 2x = 180 + 10 - 10 - 45
5x = 135
Divide both sides by 5,
x = 27
We need to figure out how much string would be left, after taking away the first two pieces.
We know that the first piece is 20 inches long, so we can say that there is 52-20 inches left, or 32 inches.
The second piece is between 12 and 18 inches, meaning that there would be between 32-12 and 32-18 inches left for the third piece, or 20 and 14 inches. This means that the third piece would be at least 14 inches long, but no more than 20, since we don’t have more string than that (20+12+20=52, and 20+14+18=52)
So we can say that x is greater or equal to 14, but less than or equal to 20, or:
14<=x<=20 (“<=“ is written like a normal “<“ sign with a line _ right under it)
