Step-by-step explanation:

1. x=16, a=17, b=17, c=19

2. k=-2

Step-by-step explanation:

1.

We can set up an equation where all the labeled sides add up to 53, and then find x:

(2x-15)+(x+1)+(3x-29)=53

6x-43=53

6x=96

x=16

Now that we know x, we can plug it back in to the expressions of the triangles to find their side lengths:

a=2(16)-15=17

b=16+1=17

c=3(16)-29=19

2.

Reminder: the slope of a line is its change in y over its change in x. We can then set up an equation:

rx and sx
