The Answer is A. Hope I helped!
The equation you wrote has no solutions since the left hand side is equal to 6x-10 and the right hand side is equal to 6x+8. Setting them equal we get -10=8 which is obviously wrong.
<h3>Answer:</h3>
A) ∠A = ∠A' = 38° and ∠B = ∠B' = 42°
<h3>Explanation:</h3>
The sum of angles in ∆ABC is 180°, so ...
... (2x -2) + (2x +2) + (5x) = 180
... 9x = 180
... x = 20
and the angles of ∆ABC are ∠A = 38°, ∠B = 42°, ∠C = 100°.
___
The sum of angles of ∆A'B'C' is 180°, so ...
... (58 -x) +(3x -18) +(120 -x) = 180
... x +160 = 180
... x = 20
and ∠A' = 38°, ∠B' = 42°, ∠C' = 100°.
_____
The values of angle measures of ∆ABC match those of ∆A'B'C', so we can conclude ...
... A) ∠A = ∠A' = 38° and ∠B = ∠B' = 42°
Answer is A
The binomial can be factored using the difference of squares formula a2-b2 = (a+b) (a-b) where a=x and b=9
(X+9) x(x-9)
The answer is 153.5 hope that helps
