Interior and exterior triangle angles

m<S = 38°

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

m<R = (x + 17)°

m<S = (2x - 2)°

m<T = (5x + 5)°

Required:

m<S

Solution:

First, we will need to determine the value of x by creating an equation. Thus:

m<R + m<S + m<T = 180° (sum of triangle)

Plug in the values

(x + 17)° + (2x - 2)° + (5x + 5)° = 180°

x + 17 + 2x - 2 + 5x + 5 = 180

Add like terms

8x + 20 = 180

8x + 20 - 20 = 180 - 20

8x = 160

8x/8 = 160/8

x = 20

Find m<S:

m<S = 2x - 2

Plug in the value of x

m<S = 2(20) - 2 = 40 - 2

m<S = 38°

hey seth! : )

i’m not 100% sure, but i think it’s b

hope this ya : p

hello from mrbilldoesmath!

answer:   x (x+6)^2, choice b

discussion:

factor x out of the equation:

x^3 + 12x^2 + 36x = x (x^2 + 12x + 36).

note that 6+6 = 12 and 6*6 = 36 so the above factors into:

x (x+6)^2

which is choice b
