In this diagram lines a AB and CD are parallel. Angle ABC measure 35° and angle BAC measures 115° A. What is the measure of angle ACE?
B. What is the measure of angle DCB?

sec ф = 5/3 (quadrant 4)

let x = base

y = perp

z = hypotenuse

sec ф = hypotenuse/base = 5/3

⇒ z = 5 and x = 3

finding y:

z² = x² + y²

5² = 3² + y²

y² = 25-9

y² = 16

y = 4

now finding all other geometric functions of theta:

sin ф = y/z = 4/5

sin ф = -4/5 (sin is negative in the 4th quadrant)

cos ф = x/z = 3/5

cos ф = 3/5 (cos is positive in 4th quadrant)

tan ф = y/x = 4/3

tan ф = -4/3 (tan is negative in 4th quadrant)

cosec ф = z/y = 5/4

cosec ф = -5/4 (cosec is negative in the 4th quadrant)

cot ф = x/y = 3/4

tan ф = -3/4 (tan is negative in 4th quadrant)

b) the dogs need to shift their focus to human scent.

simplifying

5(x + -6) = 2(x + 3)

reorder the terms:

5(-6 + x) = 2(x + 3)

(-6 * 5 + x * 5) = 2(x + 3)

(-30 + 5x) = 2(x + 3)

reorder the terms:

-30 + 5x = 2(3 + x)

-30 + 5x = (3 * 2 + x * 2)

-30 + 5x = (6 + 2x)

solving

-30 + 5x = 6 + 2x

solving for variable 'x'.

move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

add '-2x' to each side of the equation.

-30 + 5x + -2x = 6 + 2x + -2x

combine like terms: 5x + -2x = 3x

-30 + 3x = 6 + 2x + -2x

combine like terms: 2x + -2x = 0

-30 + 3x = 6 + 0

-30 + 3x = 6

add '30' to each side of the equation.

-30 + 30 + 3x = 6 + 30

combine like terms: -30 + 30 = 0

0 + 3x = 6 + 30

3x = 6 + 30

combine like terms: 6 + 30 = 36

3x = 36

divide each side by '3'.

x = 12

simplifying

x = 12

this should .
