The supplement of < 72 has the same measure as < (4x + 8). Therefore, < (4x + 8) must equal 108°. We can establish the following equality statement to solve for x:

< (4x + 8) + < 72° = 180°

Combine like terms:
4x + 80 = 180°

Subtract 80 from both sides:

4x + 80° - 80° = 180° - 80°

4x = 100

Divide both sides by 4 to solve for x:

4x/4 = 100/4

x = 25

To verify whether the value of x is correct, substitute its value into the equality statement:

< (4x + 8)° + < 72° = 180°

< [4(25) + 8]° + < 72° = 180°

< (100 + 8)° + < 72° = 180°

< 108° + < 72° = 180°

180° = 180° (True statement. Therefore, the correct answer is x = 25).

Meredith picked four times as many green peppers red peppers if she picked a total of 20 peppers how many green peppers did she

natali 33 [55]

The correct answer is that she picked 16 green peppers. We can work this out because 16 + 4 = 20, and 4 x 4 is 16, so therefore there were 16 green peppers and 4 red peppers.

A line the contains the point (-3,6) and (5,10)

Ok so for slope it's difference in y dividing by the difference of x. The difference of y is 10 - 6 which is 4, and the change in x is 5 - (-3) which is 8. Dividing 4 by 8 gets us 1/2. So the slope is 1/2. Slope intercept form would be y = mx + b, and the slope is 1/2 so it'd be y = (1/2)x + b. Plug in a point and you get b = 15/2. So the final slope intercept form would be y = (1/2)x + 15/2. For point slope form just put in a point and slope and you get y - 6 = (1/2) × (x + 3). Standard form would have to be arranged from slope intercept. So multiplying 2 to the slope intercept form we get 2y = x + 15. Subtracting x we get -x + 2y = 15. In standard form we don't want x to be negative so just multiply by negative one and we get x - 2y = -15.
