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.

Alan just got a Fall job. The equation P = 12.50h represents the salary P (in dollars) he will earn when he works h hours. How m
balandron [24]

Given:

Alan salary P (in dollars) when he works h hours is represented by the equation

P=12.50h

To find:

The earning per hour.

Solution:

We have,

P=12.50h

Here, P is total salary and h is number of hours he works.

\text{Earning per hour}= \dfrac{\text{Total salary}}{\text{Number of hours}}

\text{Earning per hour}= \dfrac{12.50h}{h}

\text{Earning per hour}=12.50

Therefore, the earning per hour is $12.50.

A health study tracked a group of person for five years. At the beginning of the study, 20% were classified as heavy smokers, 30
Aleks04 [339]

Answer: 0.421

Step-by-step explanation:

Heavy smoker = 20%

Light smoker = 30%

Non smokers = 50%

We can assume that the probability that a non-smoker is going to die in the next 5 years be y.

Since light smokers were twice as likely as nonsmokers to die during the five-year study, the probability will be:

= 2 × y = 2y

Probability for the Heavy smokers will be:= 2 × 2y = 4y

The expected number of people that will die for each in the next 5 years will be:

Non smoker:

= 50% × y

= 0.5 × y

= 0.5y

Light smoker:

= 30% × 2y

= 0.3 × 2y.

= 0.6y

Heavy smoker:

= 20% × 4y.

= 0.2 × 4y

= 0.8y

Total = 0.5y + 0.6y + 0.8y = 1.9y

The probability that the participant was a heavy smoker will be:

= 0.8y/1.9y

= 0.421
