Answer:

∠ EBF = 98°

Step-by-step explanation:

(3x - 15) and (2x + 10) are vertically opposite angles and are congruent, then

3x - 15 = 2x + 10 ( subtract 2x from both sides )

x - 15 = 10 ( add 15 to both sides )

x = 25

3x - 15 = 3(25) - 15 = 75 - 15 = 60°

The exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the 2 opposite interior angles.

∠ EBF is an exterior angle of the triangle , then

∠ EBF = 60° + 38° = 98°

Which value of b would make x²+bx-30 factorable?<br> A. -31<br> B. -17<br> C. 11<br> D. 13

Answer:

D. 13

Step-by-step explanation:

well since it's a quadratic equation, it can be written in the form of ax²+bx+c=0. So we have a=1, b=b and c= -30. Also the roots are given by the equation-

x= -b± $\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}$ /2a. So all I did was put the number from the choices which would satisfy the sqrt part and that turned out to be 13 since $\sqrt{13^{2}-4*1*(-30)$ = $\sqrt{289}$ = 17. So b=13.
