Answer:

X = 5

Remember, x has a hidden one behind it, so it would be 1x

3x - 2(x + 1) = 2x - 7

Use the distributive property to multiply −2 by x+1.

3x−2x−2=2x−7

Combine 3x and −2x to get x

x−2=2x−7

Subtract 2x from both sides

x−2−2x=−7

Combine x and −2x to get −x

−x−2=−7

Add 2 to both sides

−x=−7+2

Add −7 and 2 to get −5

−x=−5

multiply both sides by -1

x=5

The two equations are:

x = 5y - 18 (vertically opposite angles are equal)

x + y = 180 (Alternate angles , adjacent angles on a straight line)


x = 5y - 18    ---------------- (1)
x + y = 180   ---------------- (2)

From (2):
x + y = 180
y = 180 - x ---------------- Sub into (1)

x = 5(180 - x) - 18
x = 900 - 5x - 18
6x = 882
x = 147       ---------------- Sub into (2)    

x = 147
y = 180 - 147 = 33

Answer: x = 147, y = 33

Angles T and V are complementary.Angle T has a measure of (2x+10) Angle V has a measure of 48 what is the value of x
never [62]
The answer is x=16

complimentary means that when the measures of both angles are added together they equal 90 degrees. To get the answer you subtract 48 from 90 and get 42. Then you subtract 10 from 42 because it is added in the parentheses. Then you divide 32 by 2 and you get your answer which is 16.

True or false and why: if a and b are irrational, then a^b is irrational
FrozenT [24]

False


b could be the logarithm of a rational number to the base a. For example,

b=\log_\pi{(4)}   will be irrational, but π^b = 4, a rational number

12 2/3 ^ 2 1/3what is 12 2/3 divided by 2 1/3 ​
Semmy [17]

Answer:

(12 2/3)/( 2 1/3)= 38/7 or 5 3/7 or 5.43 decimal

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify the following:

(12 + 2/3)/(2 + 1/3)

Put 2 + 1/3 over the common denominator 3. 2 + 1/3 = (3×2)/3 + 1/3:

(12 + 2/3)/((3×2)/3 + 1/3)

3×2 = 6:

(12 + 2/3)/(6/3 + 1/3)

6/3 + 1/3 = (6 + 1)/3:

(12 + 2/3)/((6 + 1)/3)

6 + 1 = 7:

(12 + 2/3)/(7/3)

Put 12 + 2/3 over the common denominator 3. 12 + 2/3 = (3×12)/3 + 2/3:

((3×12)/3 + 2/3)/(7/3)

3×12 = 36:

(36/3 + 2/3)/(7/3)

36/3 + 2/3 = (36 + 2)/3:

((36 + 2)/3)/(7/3)

36 + 2 = 38:

(38/3)/(7/3)

Multiply the numerator by the reciprocal of the denominator, (38/3)/(7/3) = 38/3×3/7:

(38×3)/(3×7)

(38×3)/(3×7) = 3/3×38/7 = 38/7:

Answer:  38/7
