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.

In simplest radical form, what are the solutions to the quadratic equation 6 = x2 – 10x?

vichka [17]

Answer:

$x = 5+\sqrt{31}\,\, and\,\, x=5-\sqrt{31}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to solve the quadratic equation

6 = x^2 -10x

Rearranging we get,

x^2-10x-6=0

Using quadratic formula to solve the quadratic equation

$x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

a= 1, b =-10 and c=6

Putting values in the quadratic formula

$x=\frac{-(-10)\pm\sqrt{(-10)^2-4(1)(-6)}}{2(1)}\\x=\frac{10\pm\sqrt{100+24}}{2}\\x=\frac{10\pm\sqrt{124}}{2}\\x=\frac{10\pm\sqrt{2*2*31}}{2}\\x=\frac{10\pm\sqrt{2^2*31}}{2}\\x=\frac{10\pm2\sqrt{31}}{2}\\x = 5\pm\sqrt{31}$

So, $x=5+\sqrt{31}\,\, and\,\, x=5-\sqrt{31}$
