In this case, you aren't going to get an integer for the value of a, but you can rearrange the equation to equal a.
4a-3=D add 3 to both sides
4a=D+3 divide both sides by 4
a=(D+3)/4 here's your answer
The two angles are a linear pair.
(Explanations down below!)
Linear pair angles must add up to 180 degrees. You can tell that the two angles add up to 180 degrees because they form a straight line (which is 180 degrees).
Complementary angles add up to 90 degrees. The two angles are not complementary because they do not form a 90 degree angle (right triangle, square in corner, like a L shape).
Vertical angles are opposite each other and are equal to one another. These angles are adjacent to each other and do not look similar.
Answer:
x = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
The difference between consecutive terms will be equal , then
a₂ - a₁ = a₃ - a₂ , that is
x + 9 - (3x - 2) = 2x + 5 - (x + 9) ← distribute parenthesis on both sides
x + 9 - 3x + 2 = 2x + 5 - x - 9 , simplify both sides
- 2x + 11 = x - 4 ( subtract x from both sides )
- 3x + 11 = - 4 ( subtract 11 from both sides )
- 3x = - 15 ( divide both sides by - 3 )
x = 5
