Check out the attached image. I drew what I think your book is showing. The figure on the left is triangle ABC without any extended segments. The figure on the right has segment AB extended shown in red. This forms the exterior angle x
The rule that connects x, y and z together is the remote interior angle theorem. It says that adding two interior angles is going to be equal to the exterior angle that is not touching either interior angle. The "remote" part means "far away" so just think of the two angles that are furthest way or not touching the exterior angle in question.
In terms of algebra, the rule is
x+y = z
Answer:
x = 15 or x = - 
Step-by-step explanation:
Cross- multiplying gives
(14x + 6)(17x + 5) = 9x(27x + 11) ( expanding factors )
238x² + 172x + 30 = 243x² + 99x
rearrange into standard form : ax² + bx + c = 0
5x² - 73x - 30 = 0 ← in standard form
consider the factors of the product 5 × - 30 = - 150 which sum to the coefficient of the x-term (- 73 )
the factors are - 75 and + 2
Use these factors to split the middle term
5x² - 75x + 2x - 30 = 0 ( factor by grouping )
5x(x - 15) + 2(x - 15) = 0 ← take out the factor (x - 15)
(x - 15)(5x + 2) = 0
equate each factor to zero and solve for x
x - 15 = 0 ⇒ x = 15
5x + 2 = 0 ⇒ x = - 
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Given:</u>
- I = 5% = 0.05
- t = 2 years
- Let the sum is x.
<u>Simple interest:</u>
<u>Compound interest:</u>
- CI = x*(1 + 0.05)² - x = 1.1025x - x = 0.1025x
<u>The difference is 230:</u>
- 0.1025x - 0.1x = 230
- 0.0025x = 230
- x = 230/0.0025
- x = 92000
