Answers:
(x+2) = 55 degrees
x = 53 degrees
the given is 72 degrees
Explanation:
A triangle always equals 180 degrees. It was given that one of the angle measures is 72 degrees. 180-72=108. Now I need to find the value of x. (x+2)+x=108. Solving this equation I get x=53. Substitute this back into the angle measures and u get the answers as stated above.
A shape that is similar to another shape will be enlarged by a scale factor.
Each corresponding sides should give the same scale factor
Side GI corresponds to side JL
Side GH corresponds to side JK
Side HI corresponds to side KL
The correspond sides whose length are given is
GH = 4 and JK = 8
Side JK is twice longer than GH
All the other sides of triangle JKL are twice longer than triangle GHI, so we want that the side JL to be twice of the sides GI
Side GI = 6
Side JL = 6 × 2 = 12
Answer: y = 12
Whatever you do to one side, you have to do to the other.
Try to get all the x values and regular values together.
To do that, just subtract both sides by 6x to cancel it out on one side and subtract it from the other side:
6x-6x+32=-2x-6x
=
32=-8x
now divide both sides by -8 to get the x by itself
32/-8=-8/-8x
= 32/-8=x
-4=x
so your answer is: x= -4
Answer:
- Walnuts cost $1.75, chocolate chips cost $2.75
Step-by-step explanation:
<h3>Let the costs be:</h3>
- Walnuts - x
- Chocolate chips - y
<h3>Set equations as per question</h3>
For 7 pounds of walnuts and 9 pounds of chocolate chips, the total cost is $37:
For 5 pounds of walnuts and 3 pounds of chocolate chips, the total cost is $17:
<h3>Solve the system by elimination</h3>
Multiply the second equation by 3 and subtract the first equation, solve for x:
- 3(5x + 3y) - (7x + 9y) = 3(17) - 37
- 15x + 9y - 7x - 9y = 51 - 37
- 8x = 14
- x = 14/8
- x = 1.75
Find the value of y:
- 7*1.75 + 9y = 37
- 12.25 + 9y = 37
- 9y = 37 - 12.25
- 9y = 24.75
- y = 24.75/9
- y = 2.75
It's should be 5 cause I don't know
