Answer: the number = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number.

Set equation according to the information given

2 + 8x = 2 × 25

Simplify by multiplication

2 + 8x = 50

Subtract 2 on both sides

2 + 8x - 2 = 50 - 2

8x = 48

Divide 8 on both sides

8x / 8 = 48 / 8

$\boxed {x=6}$

Point slope is
$y - y1 = m(x - x1)$
the slope is 7 and the coordinates given are (5,3), you plug in that into the equation and end up with
$y - 3 = 7(x - 5)$

In triangle LMN, the measure of m_L =75°and m_M is one-half m_N. what is m_M?

Svetach [21]

Let m(<N) be x;
We have m(<M) = 1.5x;
We solve the equation: 75 + x + 1.5x = 180;
75 + 2.5x = 180;
2.5x = 105;
x = 105 ÷ 2.5;
x = 42;
Finally, m(<M) = 63 degrees;
