X-the number
16 + 2x = -24 |subtract 16 from both sides
2x = -40 |divide both sides by 2
<u>x = -20</u>
Answer: <em>The number is -24</em>
Yep, this one seems sneaky and confusing. But it's not so bad if you remember the things you learned about parallel lines. (It can't be too tough ... I learned them
in 1954 and I still know how to use them.)
Look at the picture. Line ' l ' is parallel to line ' m ', and the horizontal line on the bottom (which is not labeled) is a transversal that cuts the parallel lines.
Did you learn that interior angles on the same side of the transversal are equal ?
I'm sure you did, although it may have a new name nowadays.
Anyway, with the help of that 'tool', angle-'B' and angle-'D' are equal. So . . .
(angle-A + angle-B) = 120
angle-B = 65
angle-A = 120 - 65 = <u>55 degrees</u>.
The answer is 6 units and 3 fourths
Answer:
B. 24d + 4; $76
Step-by-step explanation:
Part 1: If the online store charges $24 per DVD, this is the same as saying "24 multiplied by the number of DVDs bought".
It's given that "d" represents the number of DVDs
- So the first part of the variable expression is: 24d
If the online store also charges an additional $4 per <em>order,</em> that means that it's only $4 extra for the whole order. NOT per DVD you buy.
Part 2: If someone were to buy 3 DVDs, that would mean that d = 3.
To find the total cost, substitute 3 for d into the expression.
- 24d + 4
- 24(3) + 4
- 72 + 4 = 76
- Result: $76
