If ZM is an obtuse angle (greater than 90), then ZM and ZP will not add up to 90.
If ZP is 120, then ZM and ZP will not add up to 90.
There are multiple contradicting statements within this problem, as noted above.
Hope this helps!
Answer:
x=10
m=3
Step-by-step explanation:
The angles are the same since the sides are the same length (isosceles triangle)
55 = 5x+5
Subtract 5
55-5 =5x+5-5
50 = 5x
Divide by 5
50/5 = 5x/5
10=x
The altitude is a perpendicular bisector so
5m-3 = 2m+6
Subtract 2m from each side
5m-3-2m = 2m+6-2m
3m-3 = 6
Add 3 to each side
3m-3 +3 =6+3
3m =9
Divide by 3
3m/3 = 9/3
m =3
12/x=6/7 answer: x=14
6x/4=8/12 answer x = 0.4444444444
7/x+13=4/12 answer x=8
y+5/y=10/8 answer y=20
The answer is ....................
X=5
Y=3
X + (x+2) = 154
combine like terms
2x + 2 = 154
subtract 2
2x = 154
divide by 2
x = 76
so the two numbers are 76 and 78
