Answer:

2 5/12

Step-by-step explanation:

deduct the sum of 2 1/4 and 3 2/6 from 8

i prefer to change them to improper fractions

9/4 + 20/6 = 27/12 + 40/12 = 67/12

8 can be change to 96/12

96/12 - 67/12 = 29/12 or 2 5/12

<1 and <2 form a linear pair. The measure of <2 is six more than twice the measure of <1. Find the measure of <2

MrMuchimi

Answer:

122 Degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are given that angle 1 and 2 make a linear pair:

angle 1 + angle 2 = 180 degrees ----------------------------(1)

We have also been told that angle 2 is 6 more than twice the measure of angle 1

Which means: angle 2 = (2*angle1) + 6 -------------------(2)

From putting the value of angle 2 in (1) from (2)

angle 1 + 2*angle 1 + 6 = 180

3*angle 1 = 174

angle 1 = 58 degrees -----------------------(3)

From (1) and (3):

angle 2 + 58 = 180

angle 2 = 122 degrees

Therefore, the measure of angle 2 is 122 degrees

What's is the converse of the statement?If x is odd, then 2x is even.

dsp73

If you have two statements p and q and $p\Rightarrow q$ is true, then $\neg q\Rightarrow \neg p$ is also true.

In your case, statements are p - "x is odd" and q - "2x is even".

Then $\neg p$ - "x is not odd" and $\neg q$ - "2x is not even."

Hence $\neg q\Rightarrow \neg p$ sounds as: "If 2x is not even, then x is not odd".
Answer: correct choice is D.
