Answer:

x + (5x-9)

Step-by-step explanation:

x stands for the number of coins Nancy has

Kevin has 9 less than 5 times what Nancy has, so his part of the expression is 5x-9

To find the total number of coins they have, you have to add Nancy's number of coins x plus Kevin's number of coins 5x-9

x + (5x-9)

But you have to put parentheses around Kevin's 5x-9 so that part of the expression is calculated first, as per order of operations

Angles and transversals thank you
faltersainse [42]

Answer:

#11-13: 118 , 97 , 62

#7-10: 92 , 125 , 56 , 130

Step-by-step explanation:

#11. Supplementary angles (A + B = 180)

  • (n + 7) + (3n - 47) = 180
  • n = 55
  • <ABC = 3(55) - 47 = 118 degrees

#12. Supplementary angles

  • 83 + x = 180
  • x = 97
  • <ABC = 97 degrees

#13. Congruent angles (A = B)

  • (8x - 34) = (5x +2)
  • x = 12
  • <DEF = 5 (12) + 2 = 62 degrees

#7. Congruent angles

  • (3x +23) = 4x
  • x = 23
  • <ABC = 4(23) = 92 degrees

#8. Congruent angles

  • 5x = (3x + 50)
  • x = 25
  • <MPQ = 3(25) + 50 = 125 degrees

#9. Congruent angles

  • (a + 28) = 2a
  • a = 28
  • <MNP = (28) + 28 = 56 degrees

#10. Congruent angles

  • 5y = (2y + 78)
  • y = 26
  • <WXZ = 5(26) = 130 degrees

I hope this helps!

I need help with these
IrinaVladis [17]
Let x be the number.
"twelve decreased by twice a number" ---> 12 - 2x
"8 times the sum of number and 4" ---> 8(x + 4)
12 - 2x = 8(x + 4)
12 - 2x = 8x + 32 (distributive property)
12 = 10x + 32 (add 2x to both sides)
-20 = 10x (subtract 32 from both sides)
x = -2 (divide both sides by 10)

The sales tax in New Jersey is 6%. For a $16 book, what will the total cost be, including sales tax?
Rasek [7]
<span>The sales tax in New Jersey is 6%. For a $16 book, what will the total cost be, including sales tax?
Solutions:
=> 16 dollars is the amount of book
=> 6% is the sales tax which is equals to (6% / 100% = 0.06)
Let’s follow the formula to get the total amount to be paid.
=> 16 dollars * .06 = .96 dollars
Now, let’s add this together:
=> .96 + 16 dollars = 16.96 dollars.</span>
