Step-by-step explanation:

in a parallelogram, opposite angles are equal..

so C is 4a + 22. and B is 6a - 12.

sum of interior angles in a quadrilateral = 360

4a + 22. + 6a - 12. + 4a + 22. + 6a - 12 = 360

20a + 20 = 360

20a = 340

a = 17

sum of angles on a straight line = 180

B + x = 180

6 ( 17) - 12 + x = 180

102 + × = 180

× = 180 - 102

× = 78

Delvig [45]

Answer:

? = 26 in

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle.

The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides, that is

?² = 24² + 10² = 576 + 100 = 676 ( take the square root of both sides )

? = $\sqrt{676}$ = 26

Let a, b, c, and d be non-zero real numbers. If the quadratic equation ax(cx + d) = -b(cx+d) is solved for x, which of the follo

LiRa [457]

Answer:

Option d

Step-by-step explanation:

given that a, b, c, and d be non-zero real numbers.

$ax(cx + d) = -b(cx+d) \\acx^2+x(ad+bc)+bd =0$

we can factorise this equation by grouping

$(acx^2+xad)+)xbc+bd) =0\\ax(cx+d) +b(cx+d) =0\\(ax+b)(cx+d) =0$

Equate each factor to 0 to get

$x=\frac{-b}{a} , \frac{-d}{c}$

Ratio of one solution to another would be

$\frac{-b}{a} / \frac{-d}{c} \\=\frac{ad}{bc}$

So ratio would be ad/bc

Out of the four options given, option d is equal to this

So option d is right
