Sorry, it's late, and I'm a bad explainer.
The error is adding (2x-12) with x and 30. This is wrong because you are adding the angles inside the triangle and you are assuming that (2x - 12) is the unlabeled angle INSIDE the triangle, when it is the exterior angle/outside of the triangle.
A straight line is also 180°.
(2x - 12) + ? = 180
30 + x + ? = 180
If you look at the equations, and put parentheses around 30 + x, (30 + x) and (2x - 12) should be the SAME NUMBER. So you could set them equal to each other to find x. (or you could also look at the picture and see that they both need/are missing the same angle)
2x - 12 = 30 + x
x = 42
Now you plug 42 into the exterior angle equation
2(42) - 12 = 84 - 12 = 72°
Answer:
1⅗
Step-by-step explanation:
=44/5÷11/2
when two fractions are dividing,turn the division sign into multiplication sign and take the reciprocal of one fraction.That is,in one fraction let the numerator become the denominator and the denominator become the numerator
=44/5×2/11
then 11 goes into forty-four. 4
therefore
=4/5×2/1
=8/5
=1⅗
Answer:
5 4/5
Step-by-step explanation:
First of all subtract the whole number, 2, from 8 1/5
You would get 6 1/5
Now subtract 2/5 from that, or set up an equation like:
6 + 1/5 - 2/5
you would get 6 - 1/5 or 5 4/5
