Solve for x in the diagram below.

9514 1404 393

  x = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the given angle expressions is 90°, the measure of the right angle:

  x + (3x +10) = 90

  4x = 80 . . . . . . . . . subtract 10

  x = 20 . . . . . . . . . . divide by 4

x = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Key skills needed: Complementary Angles, Equations

1) We are given this diagram and we want to find out x.

The 2 angles (One with the measure "x degrees" and the other with the measure of "3x+10") are complementary. This means that both their measures add up to equal the measure of a right, or 90 degrees.

2) This means we can make the equation -->

To solve:

Combine like terms (3x + x = 4x) -->

To get "x" by itself, subtract 10 from both sides (90 - 10 = 80)

This means it would be -->

Divide by 4 from both sides (80 divided by 4 is 20) and get x = 20

Therefore 20 is your answer.

Hope you understood and have a nice day!! :D

logv3(x+2)=1

rewrite in exponential form:

logb(x) = y is equal to b^y =x

b = 3, y = 1

now solve for x:

3^1 = x+2)

x = 3-2

x = 1

see the picture for the graph.
