Picture of question is now up. Numbers 31 & 33 Pleaseee Help I wrote the answer next to the questions

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

both are correct:) gj!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah but i just took the answer from the answer key i dont know how to get that answer. i was hoping you could help me

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Algebraic! sooooo can you help me????

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what do you need?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

idk how they got that answer.. i have to show my work...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Are there any crazy facts relating those two angles in the diagram that you can think of?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Like: "They add up to _________!"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

which question are we referring to?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

31

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay what about it??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What do the two angles in #31 add up to?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ummmm 812x degreees??? i'm not sure

OpenStudy (anonymous):

they're supplementary

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so they add to_________?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well idk

OpenStudy (anonymous):

180?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay so do i like divide that by 180?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

write an equation: ANGLE #1 + ANGLE #2 = 180

OpenStudy (anonymous):

solve it for x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

once you know x, you can go back and find the value of either angle

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so its goanna be like 812x+2469x=180???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yep

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so i solve it by ???? idk adding them?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yep

OpenStudy (anonymous):

soo add the two x's?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

have you done any algebra?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what's x +x ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what's 2x +2x?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what's 5x + 200x ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

good. now divide by 3281 to find x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay umm i get 0.05486132277

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok, now use that value to go back and find whatever angle they were asking about...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ummm wait because i am sooo confusssed like idk how to get the nearest teneth of a degreee

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Algebraic! soooo your not goanna help me?? if you dont want to tell me just dont ignore me

OpenStudy (anonymous):

did you find the value of the angle you were asked to find by using the x you found?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nooooooo thats what i was trying to explain to you that i dont know how to do that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

plug in the value of x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

plug it in where?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the angle

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so plug it in for?? 812x? or 2469x?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

whichever one you want to find. or both.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i'll go with the 812x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

plug in the wholee decimal number of the x i found?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yep

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay... i got 44.5 with some other numbers but i found my answer for a. now on to b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Algebraic! just one more to go b. pleasee help me
