Answer:
x = 25
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
- ∠A = ∠B (Vertically opposite angles)
- ∠A = (7x - 8)°
- ∠B = (6x + 17)°
Since ∠A is equivalent to ∠B...

Open the parenthesis:

Add 8 both sides:

Simplify both sides:

Subtract 6x both sides:

Simplify both sides:

Split the second term in 3a^2 - 8a + 4 into two terms
3a^2 - 2a - 6a + 4 = 0
Factor out common terms in the first two terms, then in the last two terms.
a(3a - 2) -2(3a - 2) = 0
Factor out the common term 3a - 2
(3a - 2)(a - 2) = 0
Solve for a;
a = 2/3,2
<u>Answer : B. (2/3,2)</u>
D is distance which is 72 meters
time represents seconds which is 12
so ratio is 12:72
reduce to get 1:6
time over distance would be 1/6
every second Eddie runs 6 meters
so t= d/6
or 6t=d
