Answers:
- x = 11
- angle RQS = 106 degrees
- angle SQT = 74 degrees
===========================================================
Explanation:
Straight angles are always 180 degrees in measure.
The two smaller angles shown add up to 180
(angle RQS) + (angle SQT) = angle RQT
(9x+7) + (6x+8) = 180
(9x+6x) + (7+8) = 180
15x+15 = 180
15x = 180-15
15x = 165
x = 165/15
x = 11
From here, we then know that,
- angle RQS = 9x+7 = 9*11+7 = 99+7 = 106 degrees
- angle SQT = 6x+8 = 6*11+8 = 66+8 = 74 degrees
Note how the two results add to 106+74 = 180 to help confirm the answers.
One thousandths. make sure you add the ths because it is a decimal
(5x+1)² = 7; expand: 25x² + 10x +1 = 7 or 25x² + 10x -6 = 0
Solve this quadratic for x:
x = [-b + √(b² - 4ac)]/2a and x = [-b - √(b² - 4ac)]/2a
Plug the values and you'll find :
x = (- √7 - 1)/5 (answer C)
x = (+√7 -1)/5 (answer E)
688
x 29
6192
1376 x
19952
So you start by taking 9 from 29 and multiplying it by 688. when you get the answer put it below the line. then multiply the 2 from the 29 and whne you get the answer put a zero on the end and then add the answer you got from 9x688 (6192) and 2x688 (13760) and then thats youre answer. hope it helps!
