<h3>Answer:  C) 142 degrees</h3>

=======================================================

Explanation:

Extend segment MN such that it intersects side ST. Mark the intersection as point A. See the diagram below.

We're given that angle MNT is 72 degrees. The angle TNA is equal to 180-(angle MNT) = 180 - 72 = 108 degrees, since angles MNT and TNA add to 180.

For now, focus entirely on triangle TNA. We see from the diagram that T = 34 and we just found that N = 108. Let's find angle A

A+N+T = 180

A+108+34 = 180

A+142 = 180

A = 180-142

A = 38

So angle NAT is 38 degrees.

----------------------------

Since segment MA is an extension of MN, and because MN || SQ, this means MA is also parallel to SQ.

We found at the conclusion of the last section that angle NAT was 38 degrees. Angles QST and NAT are corresponding angles. They are congruent since MA || SQ. This makes angle QST to also be 38 degrees

----------------------------

The angles QSR and QST are a linear pair, so they are supplementary

(angle QSR) + (angle QST) = 180

angle QSR = 180 - (angle QST)

angle QSR = 180 - 38

angle QSR = 142 degrees

The answer is actually choice A

---------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------

If we add up the equations straight down we will have 0a+2b = 6

Note how adding the 'a' terms gives us 3a + (-3a) = 3a-3a = 0a. The 0a term is really 0 since 0 times anything is 0. So the 'a' terms will go away

The equation 0a+2b = 6 turns into 0+2b = 6 and that simplifies to 2b = 6

To isolate b, we divide both sides by 2

2b = 6
2b/2 = 6/2
b = 3

We can stop here since only one answer choice has b = 3, which is choice A. However, let's keep going to find the value of 'a'

Plug b = 3 into any equation with 'a' and 'b', then solve for 'a'

3a+4b = 9
3a+4*3 = 9
3a+12 = 9
3a+12-12 = 9-12
3a = -3
3a/3 = -3/3
a = -1

So a = -1 and b = 3 pair up to form (a,b) = (-1,3)

--------------------------------------

To check, plug this ordered pair back into both equations

Equation 1:
3a+4b = 9
3*(-1)+4*3 = 9
-3+12 = 9
9 = 9
Equation 1 has been checked out

Equation 2:
-3a-2b = -3
-3(-1)-2(3) = -3
3 - 6 = -3
-3 = -3
this is true as well

So this confirms that the final answer is choice A

7/2x+1/2x = 18+ 9/2x
chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

x=-36

Step-by-step explanation:

Add the 7/2x +1/2x to be 8/2x which means that it'll be 4x=18=9/2

then subtract 9/2x on both sides so itll be

4x=18+\frac{9}{2} x

-9/2x       -9/2x

-\frac{1}{2} x=18   because if you do 8/2-9/2 it's -1/2

then multiply the reciprocal to both sides so

(\frac{2}{-1})(-\frac{1}{2}x)=(\frac{2}{-1})(18)

which then cancels out -1/2 and makes it

x=-36

If the mean is 11 which number could v be data set 11 8 14 v 8 14
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

11

Step-by-step explanation:

11 + 8 + 14 + v + 8 + 14

==================   = 11             Combine Terms

6

(55 + v) / 6 = 11                               Multiply by 6

55 + v = 11 * 6                                 Combine the right

55 + v = 66                                     Subtract 55

55-55+v = 66- 55

v = 11
