We know that m ║ n.
Let's first find the value 'x'.
When two lines are parallel, and a transversal is drawn, the angles on the same side of the transversal are equivalent.
This means that (5x + 16)° and (7x + 4)° are equivalent.
Equating them,
5x + 16 = 7x + 4
16 - 4 = 7x - 5x
12 = 2x
x = 12/2
x = 6°
Since we know the value of 'x', let's substitute them into the angles and find out the actual measurements.
5x + 16 = 5 × 6 + 16 = 30 + 16 = 46°.
7x + 4 = 7 × 6 + 4 = 42 + 4 = 46°.
Now let's find the value of 'y'.
If you observe carefully, (7x + 4)° and (y + 6)° form a linear pair.
This means that both those angles should add upto 180°.
Using that theory, the following equation can be framed:
(y + 6)°+ (7x + 4)° = 180°
Since we know the actual value of (7x + 4)°, let's substitute that value and move ahead.
(y + 6)° + 46° = 180°
y + 6 + 46° = 180
y + 52° = 180°
y = 180° - 52°
y = 128°
Therefore, the values of 'x' and 'y' are 46° and 128° respectively.
Hope it helps. :)
I think right is correct ( - 1, 5 )
I’m not 100% sure but isn’t it x2 +xy +y2?
A scalene triangle is a triangle that has 3 sides that are all different lengths.
Let these letters represent the problem:
a = 8.7
b = side 2
c = side 3
P = 54.6
To find the perimeter, we just need to add all the sides [ P = a + b + c ]
So, put what we have in the formula above.
54.6 = 8.7 + b + c
Best of Luck!
Answer:
Sister = 15 years old
Brother = 12 years old
Step-by-step explanation:
Right now, if the brother is B years old and the sister is S years old, B = (4/5)S because the ratio from brother to sister is 4:5, so if one unit is X, B = 4X and S = 5X
Three years ago, the brother was B-3 years old and the sister was S-3 years old. Keeping one unit as X, we have
B = 3X
S = 4X
B-3 = (3/4)(S-3)
Therefore, we have a system of equations
B = (4/5)S
B-3 = (3/4)(S-3)
Substitute (4/5)S for B into the second equation to only have one variable
(4/5)S - 3 = (3/4)(S-3)
(4/5)S - 3 = (3/4)S - 9/4
add 3 to both sides and subtract (3/4)S from both sides to isolate the variable and its coefficient
(1/20)S = 3/4
multiply both sides by 20 to isolate the S
S = 15
B = (4/5)S = 12
