Answer:

x = 11.4

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the angles of any triangle must add up to 180°.  Since we have the expressions for each angle:  5x, 8x, and (2x +9), we can solve for the variable of 'x' by adding the expressions together and setting them equal to 180:

5x + 8x + (2x +9) = 180

Combine like terms:  15x + 9 = 180

Use inverse operations: 15x + 9 - 9 = 180 - 9

                                                     15x = 171  or x = 11.4

Check:  5(11.4) + 8(11.4) + 2(11.4) + 9 = 57 + 91.2 + 22.8 + 9 = 180

Simplify the expression to a polynomial in standard form:<br> (−x+1)(x^2+6x−4)
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

-x^3-5x^2+10x-4

Step-by-step explanation:

(−x + 1) (x ^ 2 + 6x − 4) = (-x)(x ^ 2 + 6x − 4) + 1(x ^ 2 + 6x − 4)

= -x^3-6x^2+4x+x^2+6x-4 = -x^3-5x^2+10x-4
