M is the midpoint of PQ. MQ=5x+8 and PQ = 6x+56, find PM

PM = 58

Step-by-step explanation:

The question tells us that the full line has a value of 6x+56. The midpoint divides this line into equal pieces. We are also given the value of half (MQ) of the line (5x+8). By subtracting 5x+8 from 6x+56, we can figure out the value of the other half of the line (PM).

This gives us the expression for PM: x+48

Now, since these are both the two parts of the midpoint, by definition, we know they're equal.

You equal both equations and get x=10

You plug in 10 as x in the expression we got for PM (10+48), which gives us the value 58.

second option

step-by-step explanation:

the measures of a triangle equal 180. use that to find x.

2x+3x+4x=180

9x=180

9x/9=180/9

x=20

now you know x, you know angle a is 40°, angle b is 60°, angle c is 80°.

because angle a is 40°, the first option doesn't work.

because angle b is 60°, the second option does work.

when you add angle a and b, you get 100°. complementary means it equals 90°, so the third option doesn't work.

when you add angle a and c, you get 120°, which is not 100.

60

step-by-step explanation:

every triangle measures a total of 120 degrees. you have to find angle c. we know that isosceles triangles angles are equal. 60 degrees plus 60 degrees gives you 120.
