The correct answer is the last choice
The 3 angles form the straight line AB. A straight line equals 180 degrees.
The 3 angles when added together need to equal 180:
2x + 65 + (x + 65) = 180
Simplify by combining like terms:
3x + 130 = 180
Subtract 130 from both sides
3x = 50
Divide both sides by 3
X = 50/3
X = 16 2/3 (16.66667 as a repeating decimal)
Now you have x if you need to solve all the angles replace x with its value and sole:
2x = 2(16 2/3) = 33 1/3
X + 65 = 16 2/3 + 65 = 81 2/3
Answer:
Subtract 2 from both sides.
Step-by-step explanation:
Remember to do the opposite of PEMDAS. PEMDAS is the order of operation, and stands for:
Parenthesis
Exponents (& Roots)
Multiplication
Division
Addition
Subtraction
> Also, note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other side of the equation.
First step is to subtract 2 from both sides of the equation:
3x + 2 (-2) = 29 (-2)
3x = 29 - 2
3x = 27
The second step is to divide 3 from both sides of the equation:
(3x)/3 = (27)/3
x = 27/3
x = 9

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Think of the 13-ft length of the ladder as the hypotenuse of a right triangle. Represent the horiz. distance from foot of ladder to base of tree by x, or 5 ft.
Represent the vert. dist. from base of tree to top of ladder by y, which is unknown.
Then (13 ft)^2 = (5 ft)^2 + y^2, or
169 ft^2 = 25 ft^2 + y^2. This simplifies to y^2 = 144. Thus y = + 12 feeet.
Note: Please pay attention to your spelling: "lader i up agenst a tree" should be "the top of a 13-ft ladder is placed against a tree."
