Step-by-step explanation:
a^2 + 2(b - 6) - 17. a = -7 b = 2
= (-7)^2 - 2(2 - 6) - 17
= 49 - 4 + 12 - 17
= 40
Answer:
22 and 158
Step-by-step explanation:
Supplementary angles add to 180. This is means there is a small and large angle. Adding together, they make 180.
- "the larger angle measures four degrees more than seven times the measure of a smaller angle" is represented as 7x+4.
- "x represents the measure of the smaller angle" is represented as x.
x + 7x+4 =180
8x+4=180
8x=176
x= 22
This is the measure of the smaller angle. The larger angle is 7(22)+4 = 158
A = 7 and x = -5
-a + 3x = -(7) + 3(-5) = -7 -15 = -22
Answer: -22
4x-7=7x-61
-7=3x-61
54=3x
Answer
X=18
