anonymous · Answer

is it supposed to read

m = 8x + 4
m = 3x - 2

?

anonymous · Answer

if M angle RTU =8x+4 and angle STR =3x-2, find x

anonymous · Answer

is there a picture to go along with this? of a square? or something

anonymous · Answer

no but there should be

anonymous · Answer

in any case, i assume 8x + 4 and 3x - 2 add up to 90 degrees (they are co-angles)

not precisely sure how this is solved though. I tried setting them equal, didn't get the right answer. i gotta go though good luck mayne

anonymous · Answer

i recommend trying to draw a picture of a square (don't assume it is a square though), with points R, S, T and U, and a line from R to T. the problem will make a lot of sense after that
