Yep, this one seems sneaky and confusing. But it's not so bad if you remember the things you learned about parallel lines. (It can't be too tough ... I learned them
in 1954 and I still know how to use them.)
Look at the picture. Line ' l ' is parallel to line ' m ', and the horizontal line on the bottom (which is not labeled) is a transversal that cuts the parallel lines.
Did you learn that interior angles on the same side of the transversal are equal ?
I'm sure you did, although it may have a new name nowadays.
Anyway, with the help of that 'tool', angle-'B' and angle-'D' are equal. So . . .
(angle-A + angle-B) = 120
angle-B = 65
angle-A = 120 - 65 = <u>55 degrees</u>.
1. <span>-0.9x+2.8=4.1
First subtract 2.8 from both sides.
-0.9x = 1.3
Now divide both sides by -0.9.
x = -1.4444..
This can be rounded to -1.44

2. Jordan has 650 pennies. He'll give 85 to his brother and split the rest with his sister.
</span>d) 85+2x=650
Answer:
22.6
Step-by-step explanation:
because in this one you are using cos , adjacent/hypotenuse
24cos20
x = 22.552622899
