Jane is going to fence in her back yard. She has purchased 150 feet of
fencing and knows that she wants to fence in a rectangular area where one
side will be the back of her house. She knows her house is 40 feet across the
back. Which of the following is the equation that Jane can use to figure out
how far back from the house she can fence in?

A. 40(x + 40) = 150
B. 40x = 150
c. x+x+ 40 = 150
D. x+ 40 = 150

let's solve your equation step-by-step.

24−3x=−27

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

24−3x=−27

24+−3x=−27

−3x+24=−27

step 2: subtract 24 from both sides.

−3x+24−24=−27−24

−3x=−51

step 3: divide both sides by -3.

−3x

−3

=

−51

−3

x=17

answer:

x=17

2. angles qrt and qst both measures 156 degrees.

step-by-step explanation:  

we have been given a diagram of a circle and we are told that measure of arc qvt is 156 degrees.  

we can see from our given diagram that angle qrt and angle qst subtends to arc qvt.

since we know that angles subtended by the same arc at the circumference are always equal.

by angle subtended by same arc theorem, measure of angle qrt and angle qst will be equal to the measure of arc qvt.

therefore, angles qrt and qst both measures 156 degrees and 2nd statement is the correct choice.
