Math Problem Statement

The image contains algebraic problems where the user is asked to calculate the values of t, p, and z based on given equations involving angles.

Solution

Let's go through the image step by step and solve the problems.

1. Problem 2: Calculate the value of tt

You have the equation: 3t+12=663t + 12 = 66 Steps:

  • Subtract 12 from both sides: 3t=6612=543t = 66 - 12 = 54
  • Divide both sides by 3: t=543=18t = \frac{54}{3} = 18 So, the value of tt is 18.

2. Problem 3: Calculate the value of pp

The angles form a linear pair, meaning their sum is 180180^\circ. Given: 2p+30and1082p + 30^\circ \quad \text{and} \quad 108^\circ You can set up the equation: 2p+30+108=1802p + 30 + 108 = 180 Steps:

  • Combine like terms: 2p+138=1802p + 138 = 180
  • Subtract 138 from both sides: 2p=180138=422p = 180 - 138 = 42
  • Divide both sides by 2: p=422=21p = \frac{42}{2} = 21 So, the value of pp is 21.

3. Problem 4: Calculate the value of zz

This problem involves vertical angles, which are equal. Therefore: 58=2z1058^\circ = 2z - 10^\circ Steps:

  • Add 10 to both sides: 58+10=2z68=2z58 + 10 = 2z \quad \Rightarrow \quad 68 = 2z
  • Divide both sides by 2: z=682=34z = \frac{68}{2} = 34 So, the value of zz is 34.

Would you like more details on any of the steps? Here are five related questions to explore further:

  1. What are the properties of vertical angles and how can they help solve similar problems?
  2. How do you determine when angles form a linear pair and why their sum is 180180^\circ?
  3. What happens to an equation when both sides are divided by a constant?
  4. How would you solve problems with more complex algebraic expressions involving angles?
  5. What are some real-world applications of linear and vertical angle concepts?

Tip: Always check whether angles are complementary (sum to 9090^\circ) or supplementary (sum to 180180^\circ) to guide your problem-solving approach.
