∠1 and ∠2 are alternate exterior angles where transversal BE crosses parallel lines AC and DF, therefore they are equal. ∠2 and ∠3 are opposite angles of a parallelogram, therefore they are equal.
... ∠1 = ∠2
... 3x -5 = 2x +15 . . . . substitute the given values
... x = 20 . . . . . . . . . . . add 5-2x
The measures of angles 1, 2, and 3 are 2·20+15 = 55 . . . degrees.
Answer:
Help with what
Step-by-step explanation:
Hey there!
To start, first set up your expression like this:
(5x+17)-(3x-4)
You must set up your expression like this since in subtraction, order matters and the problem asks for the difference between the first plant and the second plant, respectively, meaning you must follow in this order.
Now, simplify:
(5x+17)-(3x-4)
(5x+17)+(-3x+4)
2x+21
Therefore, the difference the two companies would be 2x+21.
