x = 32°

Step-by-step explanation:

∆KLM is an isosceles triangle because it has two equal sides, KL & KM. Therefore, the angles opposite to each of the two equal sides, which are referred to as the base angles are congruent to each other.

m<KML = m<KLM = 58°

m<MKL = 180 - (58 + 58) (Sum of triangle)

m<MKL = 64°

m<JKM = 180 - m<MKL (linear pair theorem)

m<JKM = 180 - 64 (Substitution)

m<JKM = 116°

∆JKM is also an isosceles triangle with two equal sides. Therefore, it's based angles (x & <J) would also be equal to each other.

Thus:

x = ½(180 - m<JKM)

x = ½(180 - 116) (Substitution)

x = 32°

just needed some points but try socratic

x + y = 90 5x – 10y = 90 90 – 10y = 5x 90 + 10y = 5x

step-by-step explanation:

last month maria hiked the 5-mile mountain trail a number of times and she hiked the 10-mile canal trail several times. let x represent the number of times she hiked the 5-mile trail, and let y represent the number of times she hiked the 10-mile trail. if she hiked a total of 90 miles, which equation can be used to find the number of times maria hiked each trail? x + y = 90 5x – 10y = 90 90 – 10y = 5x 90 + 10y = 5x
