Given the figure below find the values of x and z
(12x +2)°
94°
z°

z = 94

x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle with a measure of 94° and the angle labeled "z" are vertical angles

Vertical angles are congruent ( equal to each other )

Which means that because "z"s vertical angle = 94° z also equals 94°

The angle labeled with the expression ( 12x + 2 ) and the angle with a measure of 94° are supplementary angles

Supplementary angles add up to equal 180

Hence, 94 + 12x + 2 = 180

                        ^ (Note that this is the equation we will use to solve for x )

Now we solve for x

94 + 12x + 2 = 180  

step 1 combine like terms

94 + 2 = 96

we now have 180 = 96 + 12x

step 2 subtract 96 from each side

180 - 96 = 84

96 - 96 cancels out

we now have 84 = 12x

step 3 divide each side by 12

84 / 12 = 7

12x / 12 = x

we're left with x = 12

stew reads at the fastest rate of 265 words per minute.

step-by-step explanation:

it's a given that felicia reads at 260 word per minute and on connie's graph we can see that she reads 200 words per minute. since stew's table tells us that he read 795 in 3 minutes, we can divide 795 by 3 to find out how many words he reads per minute.

795/3 = 265

stew reads 265 words per minute - he reads at the fastest rate since felecia reads at 260 words per minute and connie reads at 200 words per minute.

stew (265) > felecia (260) > connie (200)
