Exterior Angle property of a triangle:

The Exterior Angle property states that:

"The exterior angle of a triangle(the Angle obtained by extending one of the sides of the triangle) is equal to the sum of it's interior opposite angles."

In the given triangle RST:

∠VRS is the exterior angle, and

∠RTS and ∠RST are the interior opposite angles.

By using the above listed property,

∠VRS = ∠RTS + ∠RST

(Substituting the values of of angles from the figure)

=> (9x + 2) = 51 + (3x + 5)

=> 9x + 2 = 51 + 3x + 5

isolating x

=> 9x - 3x = 51 + 5 - 2

=> 6x = 54

dividing both sides by 6

=> x = 9

Write the equation for the vertical line that passes through the point (5,-2)

amid [387]

If it's just a vertical line, then it could be displayed as: x = 5.

A vertical line is not actually a function, and because of such, the entire line is just the value of the x value, as it will never have enough x value.

Carlos is 33 years younger than Kristen. 2 years ago, Kristen's age was 2 times Carlos's age. How old is Carlos now?

ale4655 [162]

Answer:

Carlos is 35 years old now

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume that Carlos is x years old now

∵ Carlos is x years old now

∵ Carlos is 33 years younger than Kristen

- Kirsten's age is the sum of x and 33

∴ Kirsten is x + 33 years old now

2 years ago

∵ Carlos's age = x - 2

∵ Kristen's age = x + 33 - 2 = x + 31

∵ Kristen's age was 2 times Carlos's age

- Equate Kristen's age by 2 times Carlos's age

∴ x + 31 = 2(x - 2)

- Simplify the right hand side

∴ x + 31 = 2x - 4

- Subtract x from both sides

∴ 31 = x - 4

- Add 4 to both sides

∴ 35 = x

∵ x represents Carlos's age now

∴ Carlos is 35 years old now

Which of the following correctly completes the square for the equation

rjkz [21]

Answer:

A. (x + 2)^2 = 31.

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 + 4x = 27

x^2 + 4x - 27 = 0

A. (x + 2)^2 = 31

x^2 + 4x + 4 - 31 = 0

x^2 + 4x - 27 = 0

This option corresponds to the given equation, so it is correct.

B. (x + 2)^2 = 43

x^2 + 4x + 4 - 43 = 0

x^2 + 4x - 39 = 0

This does not correspond to the equation.

C. (x + 4)^2 = 31

x^2 + 8x + 16 - 31 = 0

x^2 + 8x - 15 = 0

This does not correspond to the equation.

D. (x+4)^2 = 43

x^2 + 8x + 16 - 43 = 0

x^2 + 8x - 27 = 0

This does not correspond to the equation.

So, your answer is A. (x + 2)^2 = 31.
