Answer:
x = 11.4
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum of the angles of any triangle must add up to 180°. Since we have the expressions for each angle: 5x, 8x, and (2x +9), we can solve for the variable of 'x' by adding the expressions together and setting them equal to 180:
5x + 8x + (2x +9) = 180
Combine like terms: 15x + 9 = 180
Use inverse operations: 15x + 9 - 9 = 180 - 9
15x = 171 or x = 11.4
Check: 5(11.4) + 8(11.4) + 2(11.4) + 9 = 57 + 91.2 + 22.8 + 9 = 180
Answer:
x = 27
Step-by-step explanation:
To isolate x, we can multiply it by the reciprocal of the fraction (-3/2). We do the same to the -18.
Through cross-multiplication, -18/1 x -3/2 simplifies into -9/1 x -3/1 (because 2 goes into 2 once and 2 goes into -18 -9 times).
-9 x -3 = 27; therefore, x = 27
Divide $71,000 by 24 because there are 12 months in a year and he gets paid 2 times a month. I got $2,958.33
I believe the correct answer is true. Inductive reasoning involves applying a general rule to a specific situation. It <span>is a logical process in which multiple premises, all believed true or found true most of the time, are combined to obtain a specific conclusion. Hope this answers the question.</span>
