The measure of the exterior angle at vertex D is: D. 54°

<em><u>Recall:</u></em>

  • The exterior angle theorem of a triangle states that the measure of an exterior angle equals the sum of the measures of two opposite interior angles of the triangle.

<em><u>Thus:</u></em>

In ΔDEF, (8x−2)º is an exterior angle at vertex D.

m∠E = (3x−8)° (interior angle)

m∠F = (4x+13)° (interior angle)

<em>Therefore:</em>

(8x−2)º = (3x−8)° + (4x+13)°

  • Solve for x

8x - 2 = 3x - 8 + 4x + 13

  • Combine like terms

8x - 2 = 7x + 5

8x - 7x = 2 + 5

x = 7

Exterior angle at vertex D = (8x−2)º

  • Plug in the value of x

= 8(7) - 2

= 54º (option D)

  • Answer:

<em>f(3) = 13</em>

  • Step-by-step explanation:

<em>f(x) = 2x + 7</em>

<em>replace </em><em>x</em><em> with </em><em>3</em>

<em>f(3) = 2×3 + 7</em>

<em>= 6 + 7</em>

<em>= 13</em>

Allisa [31]
First, you can add up 4+2 to get 6 because they’re both rates.

Next, divide 18 by 6 and you get 3.

So, it will take three hours for the boys to meet up.

One way to check your answer is to multiply 4x3=12 and 2x3=6 and 12+6 is 18.

A technician charges P 400 per hour and spends P 500 a day on gasoline. Write an alcat expression to represent his earnings for
Basile [38]

Answer:

y=400*x-500

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression that represents the problem is:

y=400*x-500

Function y represents earnings for one day.

400 is the fixed number that is charge for one hour work

x represents the number of hours that the technician has worked for one day

To find the total earnings you should multiply the fixed charge for one hour work (400) by the number of hours worked in a day.

Then you need to substract the cost of gasoline in a day, it is 500 and it is a constant in the equation since it doesn't depend on the number of hours worked.

So, the function is:

y=400*x-500
