One angle of a triangle measures 120°. The other two angles are in a ratio of 5:7. What are the measures of those two angles

1 answer:

3 0

5x= one angle measure
7x= second angle measure
120°= third angle

Triangles equal 180°. Add the angles above to total 180°. Find x to find two two unknown angles.

5x + 7x + 120°= 180°
combine like values

12x + 120= 180
subtract 120 from both sides

12x= 60
divide both sides by 12

x= 5

ONE ANGLE MEASURE
5x= 5(5)= 25°

SECOND ANGLE MEASURE
7x= 7(5)= 35°

CHECK:
25° + 35° + 120°= 180°
180°= 180°

ANSWER: The measures of the two angles are 25° and 35°.

Hope this helps! :)

Y=2/x-3 make x the subject

svp [43]

Multiply both sides by x - 3 to get :

y(x - 3) = 2

yx - 3y = 2

yx = 2 + 3y

x = (2 + 3y)/y

Hope this helps! Any questions let me know :)

Josiah invests $360 into an account that accrues 3% interest annually. Assuming no deposits or withdrawals are made, which equat

vlabodo [156]

Answer:

y = 360(1.03)x

Step-by-step explanation:

$F = P x (1 + i)^n$

F is the future worth, P is the present worth, I will be the interest rate, and n is the number of years. $F = ($360)(1.03)^x$

The principal amount of the money = $360

Annual rate of interest = 3%

Thus, the amount after x years which is increased by 3%.

Since, this amount represented by y,

The required equation that represents the amount of money in Josiah’s account, y, after x years is, $= 360(1+\frac{3}{100} )^x\\ = 360(1+0.03 )^x\\ = 360(1.03 )^x$
