In ABC, if CB AC≅ , m∠A = 3x + 18, m∠B = 7x – 58, and m∠C = 2x – 8, find x and the measure of each angle.

  x = 19

  A = 30°

  B = C = 75°

Step-by-step explanation:

In an isosceles triangle, the angles opposite the congruent sides have the same measures.

  A = B

  3x +18 = 7x -58

  76 = 4x . . . . . . . . add 58-4x

  19 = x . . . . . . . . . divide by 4

Then the equal angles measure ...

  A = B = 3(19) +18 = 75

  C = 2(19) -8 = 30

Angles A, B, C measure 75°, 75°, 30°, respectively.

Alternate solution

The sum of angles in a triangle is 180°, so you could write ...

  (3x +18) +(7x -58) +(2x -8) = 180

  12x = 228 . . . . . add 48

  x = 19 . . . . . divide by 12

step-by-step explanation:

we are given a graph for system of inequalities.

in order to write the system of inequalities for the given graph, we need to find the inequality for each of the line separately.

let us find the slope of dotted line first.

taking two coordinates on the graph.

let us say (0,0) and (3,1).

let us find the slope of the line now.

slope of the dotted line would be =.

y-intercept of dotted line is y=0 only.

plugging slope m= and b=0 in slope-intercept form y=mx+b, we get

.

the line is shaded up of that dotted line.

therefore, for shading up we would take greater than inequality symbol > .

and because it's a dotted line we would take only > symbol in place of = sign in above equation of line.

therefore, inequality for dotted line would be

let us take two points (3,1) and (0,4) on the solid line.

slope of the solid line would be =.

for the solid line we have y-intercept b= 4.

plugging slope m= -1 and b=4 in slope-intercept form y=mx+b, we get

y = -1x + 4.

the line is shaded down of that solid line.

therefore, for shading down we would take less than inequality symbol < .

and because it's a solid line we would take ≤ symbol in place of = sign in above equation of line.

therefore, inequality for solid line would be
