OpenStudy (study_buddy99):

no, solve for k

OpenStudy (logan13):

OpenStudy (logan13):

i dont get it

OpenStudy (study_buddy99):

what don't you understand?

OpenStudy (logan13):

OpenStudy (study_buddy99):

|dw:1456976712500:dw|

OpenStudy (study_buddy99):

okay so let's first simplify the equation a little bit

OpenStudy (logan13):

do i what is k do i add those numbers twice

OpenStudy (study_buddy99):

so what is 5k+3k?

OpenStudy (study_buddy99):

|dw:1456976912521:dw|

OpenStudy (study_buddy99):

now what's 20+16

OpenStudy (logan13):

36

OpenStudy (danjs):

you have to recognize that the 'vertical angles' are equal.. OLN=MLP and PLO=MLN then that the two angles are supplementary , forming a line adding to 180 deg |dw:1456976960637:dw|

OpenStudy (logan13):

so its 36

OpenStudy (study_buddy99):

|dw:1456977148750:dw|

OpenStudy (study_buddy99):

OpenStudy (logan13):

OpenStudy (study_buddy99):

no you have to move over the 36. Do you know how?

OpenStudy (logan13):

No

OpenStudy (study_buddy99):

good

OpenStudy (logan13):

so its 154

OpenStudy (study_buddy99):

|dw:1456977746099:dw|

OpenStudy (logan13):

so its 154

OpenStudy (study_buddy99):
