I need to solve for x

Mathematics

Andrei [34K]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

x = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

The exterior angle theorem states that the measure of each exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the opposite and non-adjacent interior angles. The two non-adjacent interior angles opposite the exterior angle are sometimes referred to as remote interior angles.

In the given problem, the exterior angle is < JUV, and its corresponding remote interior angles are < V and < W.

Establish the following equation according to the exterior angle theorem:

< V + < W = < JUV

88° + (5x + 1)°  = (14x - 1)°

Solve for x algebraically:

88° + 5x + 1  = 14x - 1

89 + 5x = 14x - 1

89 + 1 + 5x = 14x - 1 + 1

90 +  5x = 14x

90 + 5x - 5x = 14x - 5x

90 = 9x

90/9 = 9x/9

10 = x

Therefore, the value of x = 10.

Is (4,9) a solution to the equation 3(x+2) = y ?
Mrac [35]

Answer:

(4, 9) is not a solution to 3(x + 2) = y.

Step-by-step explanation:

3(x + 2) = y

Substitute (4, 9) into the equation.

3(4 + 2) = 9

Add the inside of the parenthesis.

3(6) = 9

Multiply.

18 ≠ 9
