astra-53 [7]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

  (a)  x=−20 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply by the product of the denominators and solve the resulting linear equation in the usual way.

  \dfrac{2}{7}=\dfrac{-5}{x+3}\\\\2(x+3)=-5(7)\qquad\text{multiply by $7(x+3)$}\\\\2x+6=-35\qquad\text{simplify}\\\\2x=-41\qquad\text{subtract 6}\\\\\boxed{x=-20\dfrac{1}{2}}\qquad\text{divide by 2}

Triangle ABC is an isosceles triangle. Angles B and C are base angles, with measurements of (11x −10)° and (7x + 10)°, respectiv
Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

m∠A = 90°

Step-by-step explanation:

In isosceles triangle base angles are congruent. That means we can equate measurments of angle B and angle C and solve for x!

m∠B = m∠C

11x - 10 = 7x + 10

4x - 10 = 10

4x = 20

x = 5

Now let's insert x back in the expressions for angles.

m∠B = (11x − 10)° = (11(5) − 10)° = 45°

m∠C = (7x + 10)° = (7(5) + 10)° = 45°

<u>Sum of all angles in the triangle is 180°.</u> Let's make an equation.

m∠A + m∠B + m∠C = 180°

m∠A + 45°+ 45° = 180°

m∠A  = 90°
