<h3>Answer: C) 12</h3>

========================================================

Explanation:

Refer to the diagram below. I'm using the points A,B,C,D,E to help label the triangles, and to label the angles as well.

For now, let's focus on triangle DEC.

The top most angle is given as D = 65. Note how the angles D and E are opposite the congruent lines (marked with the red single tickmarks). This means that angles D and E are congruent to one another. So E = 65 as well. This is shown in the diagram below.

For now we don't know what angle C is, so we'll call it y. More specifically, we'll make y the measure of angle DCE.

For any triangle, the three angles always add to 180

y+65+65 = 180

y+130 = 180

y = 180-130

y = 50

So angle DCE is 50 degrees.

-------------------------------

Now we move onto triangle ABC.

Because angles DCE and ACB are vertical angles, this makes angle ACB 50 degrees also. Effectively, anywhere you see a 'y' in the diagram below, replace it with 50.

So triangle ABC has the three angles y = 50, y = 50 and 7x-4

We can solve for x like so

y+y+(7x-4) = 180

50+50+(7x-4) = 180

7x+96 = 180

7x = 180-96

7x = 84

x = 84/7

x = 12

This points to choice C as the final answer.

Identify the equation of a line in slope-intercept form that is perpendicular to y = -1/3 x + 2 and passes through (2, 1)
Airida [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a line perpendicular to another line is the opposite reciprocal of the slope of the other line, meaning if the slope of the other line is -\frac{1}{3}, then the slope of the line perpendicular is 3.

Knowing this, we can start to construct the equation for the line:

y = mx + b

y = 3x + b

To solve for b, we plug in the coordinates of the point that we know the line runs through, (2, 1):

y = 3x + b

1 = 3(2) + b

1 = 6 + b

b = -5

Therefore, the slope of the line that is perpendicular ot the line provided in the equation is the following:

y = 3x - 5

A 220$ ring is on sale for 40% off. A sales tax of 7% will be applied to the sale price. What will be the final cost of the ring
ddd [48]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

60% of 220 is 132. So thats the sale. The tax is 7% of that. So 7% of 132 is 9.24 So 132+9.24=141.24

To avoid a storm, a passenger-jet pilot descended 0.38 mile in 0.4 minute. What was the plane's average change of altitude per m
Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

0.55 mile / minute

Step-by-step explanation:

The average change of altitude per minute would simply be the ratio of distance descended over time. That is:

average change of altitude = distance / time

average change of altitude = 0.44 mile / 0.8 minutes

average change of altitude = 0.55 mile / minute
