Answer:
first one is -6 and +6
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
1. KLP + PLM = 180 degrees (straight line)
2. 3x + angle PLM = 180 degrees
3. angle PLM = 180 - 3x
4. PMN = P + PLM (Exterior angle)
5. 2x + 72 = x + 180 - 3x
6. x = 27
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Notice that angle KLP + angle PLM is a straight line, so KLP + PLM = 180 degrees (straight line)
2. angle KLP = 3x, so
3x + angle PLM = 180 degrees
3. angle PLM = 180 - 3x
4. PMN = P + PLM (Exterior angle)
5. 2x + 72 = x + 180 - 3x
6. 5 gives 4x = 108, so x = 27

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The lengths can be found by considering their ratio:
short : long = 1 : 5
The sum of the ratio units is 1+5 = 6, and the sum of the lengths is 144 inches. That means each "ratio unit" stands for (144 in)/6 = 24 inches of length.
The lengths are ...
1 : 5 = 24 in : 120 in
The pieces are 24 inches and 120 inches in length.

Equivalently, you can let s represent the shorter length. Then 5s is the longer one, and their total is ...
s +5s = 144
s = 144/6 = 24
5s = 5(24) = 120
The lengths are 24 inches and 120 inches.
