6) You are shooting the puck along the path
1 answer:
Answer:
m = 58°
x = 64°
Step-by-step explanation:
When a puck touches one side of the air hockey table,
All the angles formed are located at a point on a straight line.
Therefore, sum of angles formed is 180°.
m° + m° + 64° = 180°
2m + 64 = 180
2m = 180 - 64
2m = 116
m = 58°
m∠y = m = 58° [Alternate interior angles]
Similarly, on the other side of the table,
58° + y° + x° = 180°
58° + 58° + x° = 180°
x + 116° = 180°
x = 180 - 116
x = 64°

After staring at this for a few seconds, I think the equation
is asking you to simplify the left hand side so that it has a form matching the right hand side, and [1] and [2] are placeholders. My guess is that they're supposed to be integers.
Notice that
Then multiplying by -5, we have
so I believe [1] = -25, and [2] = 6.
