Answer:

Option A

Step-by-step explanation:

By using the definition of an exterior angle of a triangle,

"Measure of the exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of measures of the opposite interior angles"

m∠STP = m∠SWT + m∠STW

Substitute the measures of the angles from the picture attached,

15x = (7x + 1) + (7x + 6)

15x = (7x + 7x) + (1 + 6)

15x = 14x + 7

15x - 14x = 7

x = 7

Therefore, Option A will be the correct option.

(−t 4 −5t 3 −10t 2 )+(9t 3 +3t 2 −1)

klemol [59]

Answer:

$\left(-t^4-5t^3-10t^2\right)+\left(9t^3+3t^2-1\right)=-t^4+4t^3-7t^2-1$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression

$\left(-t^4\:-5t^3\:-10t^2\:\right)+\left(9t^3\:+3t^2\:-1\right)$

Remove parentheses: (a)=a

$=-t^4-5t^3-10t^2+9t^3+3t^2-1$

Group like terms

$=-t^4-5t^3+9t^3-10t^2+3t^2-1$

Add similar elements

$=-t^4-5t^3+9t^3-7t^2-1$ ∵ $-10t^2+3t^2=-7t^2$

Add similar elements

$=-t^4+4t^3-7t^2-1$ ∵ $-5t^3+9t^3=4t^3$

Thus, the equivalent expression in simplified form:

$\left(-t^4-5t^3-10t^2\right)+\left(9t^3+3t^2-1\right)=-t^4+4t^3-7t^2-1$

Find an equation of a line that goes through the points (1,6) and (4, -2). Write your answer in the form y=mx + y.

zmey [24]

Answer:

The desired equation is y = (-8/3)x + 26/3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Moving from (1,6) to (4, -2) involves an increase of 3 in x and a decrease of 8 in y. Thus, the slope of the line thru these two points is m = rise / run = -8/3.

Using the slope-intercept form of the eq'n of a straight line and inserting the data given (slope = m = -8/3, x = 4, y = -2), we get:

y = mx + b => -2 = (-8/3)(4) + b, or -2 = -32/3 + b

Multiply all terms by 3 to clear out the fraction:

-6 = -32 + 3b.

Then 26 = 3b, and b = 26/3.

The desired equation is y = (-8/3)x + 26/3.
