<u>Answer</u>
59°
<u>Explanation</u>
There are 2 parallel line and one transverse.
Angles in a straight line add up to 180°
∴ 180 - (2a + 3) = 180 - 2a -3
= 177 - 2a
The angle (177 - 2a) corresponds to angle a in the diagram. The two corresponding angles are equal.
∴ 177 - 2a = a
177 = a + 2a
3a = 177
a = 177/3
= 59°
I'm sure there's an easier way of solving it than the way I did, but I'm not sure what it could be. Never dealt with a problem like this before.
Anyway, I just plugged in and tested. Chose random values for a, b, c, and d, which follow the rule 0 < a < b < c < d:
a = 1
b = 2
c = 3
d = 4


Simplify into standard form:



Use the quadratic formula to solve:

For functions in the form of

. So in this case:
a = 1
b = -4
c = 2
Plug them in:

Solve for 'x':




So the answer would be A.
Answer:
20 pine trees
Step-by-step explanation:
No of pine trees today = 63
No of pine trees there = 43
So no of pine trees planted today= 63-43= 20
2 evens is an positive
1 odd,1 even is a odd
2 odd is an ofd
Expanding
-3h-15+2=4h+24-9
-3h-4h=24-9-2+15
-7h=28
h=4
