Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number be x

Then lets break down the statement step by step:

"5 times a number" ----> 5x

"2 more than 5 times a number" ---> 5x + 2

"2 more than 5 times a number is 22" ---> 5x + 2 = 22

simply solve for x :

5x + 2 = 22 (subtract 2 from both sides)

5x = 22 - 2

5x = 20 (divide both sides by 5)

x = 20/5 = 4

Each figure shows a triangle with one of its angle bisectors.<br> 12) 22 - 38°. Find mZTRS.

jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

76 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

this special line is an angle bisected.

that means it splits the angle at its starting point in 2 halves. as these names indicate, both parts are of equal size (half of the general angle).

we know one part (2) of this split angle : 38 degrees.

the other part (1) had to be equally sized : 38 degrees.

so, the total angle at point R is the sum of both split angles:

TRS = 38+38 = 76 degrees.

Find f(x) and g(x) so the function can be expressed as y = f(g(x)).

DanielleElmas [232]

$\bf \begin{cases}
f(x)=\cfrac{8}{x}+4\\\\
g(x)=x^2
\end{cases}\qquad f(\ g(x)\ )=\cfrac{8}{\underline{g(x)}}+4\implies f(\ g(x)\ )=\cfrac{8}{\underline{x^2}}+4$
