Answer:
x=71
Step-by-step explanation:
38+x+x=180
x+x=142
2x=142
x=71
Answer:
c. (5, -2)
Step-by-step explanation:
as we can clearly see, the 4th vertex has to be on the positive side of x.
therefore, all answer options with negative x are out.
(2, -5) is almost at D (-1, 5). that cannot be right for a rectangle.
that leaves only c as right answer.
FYI - how to get this without predefined answer portions ?
the x- difference of B to A is 4 (from -5 to -1). the x-difference from D to C must be the same (4). 1 + 4 = 5.
so, x of D must be 5.
the y- difference of B to A is 3 (from 3 to 6). the y-difference from D to C must be the same (3). -5 + 3 = -2.
so, y of D must be -2.
Answer:
Sum = 140
Step-by-step explanation:
We find all the terms, we know that every consecutive term, we add 2 until we reach 23:
Sum = 5 + 7 + 9 + 11 + 13 + 15 + 17 + 19 + 21 + 23
Sum = 140
Answer:
b=-7
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplifying
99 = 2(-7b + -3) + 7
Reorder the terms:
99 = 2(-3 + -7b) + 7
99 = (-3 * 2 + -7b * 2) + 7
99 = (-6 + -14b) + 7
Reorder the terms:
99 = -6 + 7 + -14b
Combine like terms: -6 + 7 = 1
99 = 1 + -14b
Solving
99 = 1 + -14b
Solving for variable 'b'.
Move all terms containing b to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '14b' to each side of the equation.
99 + 14b = 1 + -14b + 14b
Combine like terms: -14b + 14b = 0
99 + 14b = 1 + 0
99 + 14b = 1
Add '-99' to each side of the equation.
99 + -99 + 14b = 1 + -99
Combine like terms: 99 + -99 = 0
0 + 14b = 1 + -99
14b = 1 + -99
Combine like terms: 1 + -99 = -98
14b = -98
Divide each side by '14'.
b = -7
Simplifying
b = -7
