Answer:

x=7

Step-by-step explanation:

Starting with (x-2)² = 25

First, square root both sides to get rid of the square on the left. You'll get:

x-2 = 5

Add 2 to both sides to get x alone. You'll get:

x=7

Check your answer by filling in 7 for x:

(7-2)² = 25

(5)² = 25

25 = 25

Use the sum of cubes factoring rule

$a^3 + b^3 = (a+b)(a^2 - ab + b^2)$

to transform the left hand side into the right hand side.

$\frac { \sin^{3} \theta + \cos^{3} \theta } { \sin \theta + \cos \theta } = 1 - \sin \theta \cdot \cos \theta\\\\\frac { (\sin \theta + \cos \theta)(\sin^2 \theta - \sin \theta \cdot \cos\theta + \cos^2 \theta) } { \sin \theta + \cos \theta } = 1 - \sin \theta \cdot \cos \theta\\\\$

$\sin^2 \theta - \sin \theta \cdot \cos\theta + \cos^2 \theta = 1 - \sin \theta \cdot \cos \theta\\\\(\sin^2 \theta + \cos^2\theta)- \sin \theta \cdot \cos\theta = 1 - \sin \theta \cdot \cos \theta\\\\1- \sin \theta \cdot \cos\theta = 1 - \sin \theta \cdot \cos \theta \ \ \checkmark\\\\$

Throughout the entire process, the right hand side stayed the same.

On the last step, I used the pythagorean identity.

Find the value of x

Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

x= -12

Step-by-step explanation:

∠2= (180°-36°)÷2 (base ∠s of isos. △)

∠2= 72°

m∠2= x +84

72= x +84

x= 72 -84

x= -12
