Answer:

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

We need it in factorized form to get x.

If the quadratic equation can be divided by a-2 the first part is:

(a-2)

Now to get a², the a must be multpilied by itself. So

(a-2)(a)

To get -10, -2 must be multiplied by 5. So:

(a-2)(a+5)

we can expand to get x

a² + 5a - 2a -10

a² + 3a - 10

a² + ax - 10

x = 3

let's one two and three have the following relationships <1and <2 are adjacent right angles <1 and <3 are vertical a
Fed [463]

Answer:

180 Vertical angles are opposite angles that share only a vertex.  Since ∠3 is adjacent to both ∠1 and ∠2, this means that ∠3 shares a side and vertex with both of these angles.

This means that ∠3 and ∠1 form a straight line; this makes them a linear pair, which makes their sum 180°.
