Answer:
x = 17
y = 8
QPR = 35º
QRP = 60º
Step-by-step explanation:
2x + 1 = x + 18
Subtract x from both sides
x + 1 = 18
Subtract 1 from both sides
x = 17
QPR = 2x + 1
QPR = 2(17) + 1
QPR = 35º
-------------------------------
8y - 4 = 4y + 28
Subtract 4y from both sides
4y - 4 = 28
Add 4 to both sides
4y = 32
Divide both sides by 4
y = 8
QPR = 8y - 4
QRP = 8(8) - 4
QRP = 60º
Answer: 10
Step-by-step explanation: We can just count the number of vertices in the star and each vertex makes an angle. There are ten vertices in a star and thus ten angles.
Answer:
x=-1
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Remove the parenthesis
-x + 1 = -4x - 2
2. Get x alone
-x + 1 = -4x - 2
+1x +1x
1=-3x - 2
+2 +2
3=-3x -3x/-3= x 3/-3 = -1
x=-1
Answer:
When the solution is negative
Step-by-step explanation:
One example, let's say you are buying pens and each pen cost 3 dollars and you cannot spend more than 15 dollars, how many pens can you buy?
The inequality would be 3x < 15, so any negative solution is not reasonable because you cannot buy negative pens. The same goes for most real-world problems dealing with time, money, or distance.
