Answer:
x = 18
Step-by-step explanation:
the sum of any exterior angle is equal to the sum of any two interior angles
3x-11 + 5x+14 = 9x-15
8x + 3 = 9x - 15
3 = x - 15
-20/3 & -40/3
Let’s say that the 1st number is X and the 2nd number is Y.
Given that x:y = 1:2 => x/y = 1/2 => 2x = y
and a-5/y+4 = 5/4 (The first number is decreased by 5 and the second number is increased by 4.)
=> 4(x - 5) = 5 (y + 4)
=> 4x - 20 = 5y + 20
=> 4x - 5y = 40
As, 2x = y , 4x = 2y
=> 2y - 5y = 40
=> -3y = 40
=> y = -40/3 ; x = y/2 = -20/3
This might be confusing but I hope this helps :)
x = -2
1. Square both sidesx^2 +3x + 6 = x^22. Subtract x^2 from both sides3x + 6 = 03. Subtract 6 from both sides and divide by 3x = -2
