The US Constitution originally said that senators would be selected by state legislatures. Per the terms of the 17th Amendment,

senators are now elected directly by the citizens of their respective states.
The party balance in the 115th Congress (2017–19) is 51 Republicans, 47 Democrats, and 2 independents, who caucus with the Democrats. As of January 2018, Republicans had control of the legislatures of 31 states; Democrats had control in 14; control was split in 4; and Nebraska was officially nonpartisan.

Based on the provisions of the 17th Amendment, we can see that the provisions of the United States Constitution gave the people the right to vote for their senators who would represent their interests instead of the state legislature.

With this in mind, we can see that if the seat of a senator is unoccupied, then the governor of the state can<em> make his appointment of a senator</em>.

Based on the given data on the party balance of the US Senators, it is still not enough reason to repeal the 17th Amendment because giving the people the right to choose their representatives is still the core value of democracy which should never be tampered with.

Dmitry [639]

Answer:

X=10, x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

first, divide 14 by 2, and square it; giving you

x^2-14x+(7)^2=-40

Because 7^2 is 49, you have to add 49 to the other side; giving you

x^2-14x+(7)^2=9

Then factor the left side; giving you (x-7)^2=9

Take the square root of both sides, giving you

(x-7)^2= plus or minus 3

Then solve to get two solutions, 10 and 4

Help a girl out with geometry
Darya [45]
Follow the steps

106=x+79+x+45
106=2x+124
-124= -124
-18=2x
( -18)/2=(2x)/2 <----- solving for x
-9=x

then
angle LMF= -9+79
=70

angle FMN= -9+45
= 36
(when you add 70 and 36 together you get 106 which is the measurement of angle LMN or in other word the whole thing)

In conclusion the answer to the problem is:
Angle LMF is equal to 70.
