make u the subject in x =\(\frac{2u-3}{3u + 2}\)

A.

u = \(\frac{2x + 3}{3x - 2}\)

B.

u = \(\frac{2x - 3}{3x - 2}\)

C.

u = \(\frac{2x + 3}{2 - 3x}\)

D.

u = \(\frac{2x + 3}{3x + 2}\)

Correct answer is C

x =\(\frac{2u-3}{3u + 2}\)

cross multiply

x(3u + 2) = 2u - 3

3ux + 2x = 2u - 3

collect like terms of u

2x + 3 = 2u - 3ux 

\(\frac{2x + 3}{2 - 3x}\) = u

The sum of the interior angles of a regular polygon with k sides is (3k-10) right angles. Find the size of the exterior angle?

A.

60°

B.

40°

C.

90°

D.

120°

Correct answer is A

In a polygon with n sides, the sum of the angles =

(n - 2)180, where n = the number of sides.

In our problem, n = k.

So, we have:

(3k - 10)90 = (k - 2)180

270k - 900 = 180k - 360

Simplifying:

90k = 540

k = 6. So, we have a regular hexagon.

Now, each exterior angle = 360/n

We have: 360/6 = 60

Conclusion: Each exterior angle is 60 degrees.
