Answer:

x = 38°

∠B = ∠D = 78°

Step-by-step explanation:

3x - 12° + 2x + 2° = 180°

3x + 2x = 180° + 12° - 2°

5x = 190°|:5

x = 38°

∠B = ∠D = 2x + 2° = 78°

Answer:

x = 38, ∠ B = 78°

Step-by-step explanation:

Consecutive angles in a parallelogram are supplementary, then

3x - 12 + 2x + 2 = 180

5x - 10 = 180 ( add 10 to both sides )

5x = 190 ( divide both sides by 5 )

x = 38

Then

∠ D = 2x + 2 = 2(38) + 2 = 76 + 2 = 78°

The opposite angles in a parallelogram are congruent , so

∠ B = ∠ D = 78°

Write the point slope form of the line that passes through (6,1) and is parallel

muminat

The given line has a slope of -3. Therefore a parallel line will also have a slope of -3.

The parallel line passes through the point (6,1), therefore its equation in point-slope form is
$\frac{y-1}{x-6} =-3$
That is,
y-1 = -3(x-6)

Answer: y-1 = -3(x-6)

When the smaller of two consecutive integers is added to to two times the larger, the result is 29

KengaRu [80]

Let the numbers be X and X+1. X+2(X+1)=29 X+2X+2=29 3X=29-2 X=27/3 X=9. Thus, the Numbers are therefore 9 and 9+1=10 i.e 9 & 10. Thus, when 9 is added to (2*10=20), the result is 29.
