Answer:
you need to divide the numbers that you get untell you find your answer
Step-by-step explanation:
So we have to find out what x is before we can solve for either angle
because vertical angles are always congruent we can set the two equations to equal each other and solve for x
so
-3x + 58 = x - 2
we need to get all the x terms on one side before we can solve for x so let's add 2 to both sides to get x alone on the right side
now we have
-3x + 60 = x
now we add 3x to both sides
60 = 4x
we isolated the terms and now we can solve for x by dividing both sides by 4
15 = x
so if x = 15 we need to plug that in to both equations to check our work
C = -3(15) + 58
C = 13
D = 15 - 2
D = 13
x does in fact equal 15 because both equations got the same answer and we found out that angle D = 13
Answer:
16642.1 feets
Step-by-step explanation:
Given :
Elevation of Mt. Wilson = x
If the elevation of snow crest = y
Snow crest = 11,508.21 feet higher than Mt. Wilson
Hence, y = 11,508.21 + x
The elevation of Mt. Wilson, x = y - 11,508.21 feets
From the table, elevation of Snow crest = 28,150.31 feets = y
Hence, The elevation of Mt. Wilson, x = y - 11,508.21 feets
x = 28,150.31 - 11,508.21
x = 16642.1 feets
first multiply the outside numbers by both the numbers in the ()
10xg=10g 10x5=50 2xg=2g 2x9=18
then combine like terms
10g+50=2g+18
8g=32
then divide
g=4
