8 0

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

n = the smaller even integer

n +2 = the next even integer

The wording of the question translates into:

2n + (n+2) = -4

3n +2 = -4

3n = -6

n = -2

-7x-3x+2=-8x-2 can you please show your work how
iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

- 7x - 3x + 2 = - 8x - 2 ← simplify left side

- 10x + 2 = - 8x - 2 ( add 8x to both sides )

- 2x + 2 = - 2 ( subtract 2 from both sides )

- 2x = - 4 ( divide both sides by - 2 )

x = 2

What is 76 rounded to the nearest hundred
Citrus2011 [14]
100. When rounding to the hundreds place, you must consider the value of the digit in the tens place. If the digit in the tens place is 5 or greater, the digit in the hundreds place increases by 1. If the digit in the tens place is 4 or less the digit in the hundreds place remains the same. In this case, the number in the hundreds place was originally zero.

a. The value of x is 7

b. The measure of ∠1 is 99°

<h3>Calculating angles </h3>

From the question, we are to solve for x

From the given diagram, we can write that

m∠NMQ + m∠MQN + m∠QNM = 180° (<em>Sum of angles in a triangle</em>)

From the given information,

m∠NMQ = 5x +19

m∠MQN = 8x -11

m∠QNM = 11x + 4

Then,

5x + 19 + 8x -11 + 11x + 4 = 180

Collect like terms

5x + 8x + 11x = 180 - 19 + 11 - 4

24x = 168

∴ x = 168/24

x = 7

Hence, the value of x is 7

b.
Measure of ∠1 + m∠QNM = 180° (<em>Sum of angles on a straight line</em>)

∴ Measure of ∠1 = 180° - m∠QNM

But m∠QNM = 11x + 4

∴ m∠QNM = 11(7) + 4

m∠QNM = 77 + 4

m∠QNM = 81°

Then,

Measure of ∠1 = 180° - 81°

Measure of ∠1 = 99°

Hence, the measure of ∠1 is 99°
