Answer:

It is an isosceles triangle (side FE = FG)

Therefore the base angles are equal.

75 degrees = 2x degrees

x = 75 / 2 = 37.5 degrees

Find the value of x. x, 50, and 70

Rama09 [41]

X = 60°

To work this out, you would do 50°+70° to get 120°. You would then subtract this from 180° (the total for any triangle) to get the final answer of 60°.

The equation 2x^2 – 8x = 5 is rewritten in the form of 2(x – p)^2 + q = 0. what is the value of q?

QveST [7]

Answer:

q = -13

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is:

$2x^{2}-8x=5$

Taking 2 as common from left hand side, we get:

$2(x^{2}-4x)=5\\\\2[x^{2} - 2(x)(2)]=5$

The square of difference is written as:

$(a-b)^{2}=a^2 - 2ab + b^{2}$ Equation 1

If we compare the given equation from previous step to formula in Equation 1, we note that we have square of first term(x), twice the product of 1st term(x) and second term(2) and the square of second term(2) is missing. So in order to complete the square we need to add and subtract square of 2 to right hand side. i.e.

$2[x^{2}-2(x)(2)+(2)^2-(2)^{2}]=5\\\\ 2[x^{2}-2(x)(2)+(2)^2]-2(2)^{2}=5\\\\ 2(x-2)^{2}-2(4)=5\\\\ 2(x-2)^2-8=5\\\\ 2(x-2)^{2}-8-5=0\\\\ 2(x-2)^{2}-13=0$
