Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

∠A and ∠B are vertical => ∠A=∠B

20x+10=30x-10

20x-30x= -10-10

-10x= -20

x= -20 / -10 = 20 / 10 = 2

x=2

Good luck!

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok remember this because its going to appear alot in geometry. Vertical angles are ALWAYS congruent and congruent means when two things are equal/ are the same.

If angle a and b are vertical angles what does that mean?

they are CONGRUENT!

you know A = 20x+ 10 and B= 30x-10

so you can write it as

20x+10 = 30x-10

because Angle A and B equal each other

then get the variable by itself so subtract -20x on both sides

10 = 10x-10

then add 10 to both sides which is

20 = 10x

and divide 10 on both side and 20 divided by 10 is 2

so 2 =x

which is the same as x =2

Gary won $70,000 in the lottery after all tax deductions. He invested part of the money at 11% and deposited the remainder in ta

Paraphin [41]

Let x represent the amount of money he invested at 11% and y money he invested at 12%. Now we write system of equations:

x*1.11 + y*1.12 = 70 000 + 7900
x + y = 70 000

We will multiply second equation with 1.11
x*1.11 + y*1.11 = 77700
and subtract if from first:
0.01*y = 200
y = 20000

x = 70000 - 20000 = 50000

Jan accidentally ran 7 minutes longer than she was supposed to. Write an expression for the total amount of time Jan ran if she

vovangra [49]

Answer:

m+7

Step-by-step explanation:

If she ran 7 minutes longer and m represents the amount of time she ran, then it would just be addition.

Let's say m=60 minutes. She would've ran for 67 minutes, which is also m+7.

abruzzese [7]

The statement “If the movement of a mass on a spring may be modeled with simple harmonic motion, then its frequency decreases with time” is false.

In mechanics and physics, simple harmonic motion is a type of periodic motion or oscillation motion where the restoring force is directly proportional to the displacement and acts in the direction opposite to that of displacement .

an ellipse has a center at the origin, a vertex along the major axis at (13, 0), and a focus at (12, 0). What is the equation of

yan [13]

Hi, as the elipce has a center at the origion and tha major distance is the axis

$\frac{x^2}{a^2} + \frac{y^2}{b^2} = 1$

But,

c = 12 Distance of focus

a = 13 -> Major distance

b = ? ->

But,

$\\ b^2 + c^2 = a^2
 \\ 
 \\ b^2 + 12^2 = 13^2
 \\ 
 \\ b^2 + 144 = 169
 \\ 
 \\ b^2 = 169 - 144
 \\ 
 \\ b^2 = 25
 \\ 
 \\ b = \sqrt{5} 
 \\ 
 \\ b = 5

$

Then,

$\\ \frac{x^2}{(13)^2} + \frac{y^2}{(5)^2} = 1
 \\ 
 \\ or
 \\ 
 \\ \frac{x^2}{169} + \frac{y^2}{25} = 1$
