Answer:
x = -8
<XCE = 30
Step-by-step explanation:
Remark
In any question like this, there are 8 possible answers. Of the 8, 4 are acute angles and 4 are obtuse. So any pair are either equal to each other, or they are supplementary. In this case the two given angles are equal.
We have a little bit of both in this question.
Solution
3x + 174 = - 7x + 94 Alternate exterior angles. Add 7x to both sides.
3x+7x +174 = 94 Combine
10x + 174 = 94 Subtract 174 from both sides
10x = 94 - 174
10x = - 80 Divide by 10
x = - 80/10
x = - 8
===================
Check
3x + 174 = -24 + 174 = 150
-7x + 94 = -7*-8 + 94
-7x + 94 = 56 + 94 = 150
<XCE
<XCE = 180 - (3x + 174)
<XCE = 180 - (-24 + 174)
<XCE = 180 - (150)
<XCE = 30

Answer: 5 feet off the ground
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
85 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
P=2L+2W where L is the length and W is the width. If the length is 50 feet longer than the width, we can write the expression L=50+W. Substituting into P=2L+2W we get P=2(50+W)+2W=100+2W+2W=100+4W. Since P=300, we can say 300=100+4W. Subtracting 100 from each side we get 200=4W. Dividing each side by 4 gives 50=W. Substituting this into L=50+W gives L=50+35=85. The length is 85 feet.
