Answer:

x=80

Step-by-step explanation:

x=0.7x+24

We move all terms to the left:

x-(0.7x+24)=0

We get rid of parentheses

x-0.7x-24=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

0.3x-24=0

We move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right

0.3x=24

x=24/0.3

x=80

Answer:

x = 80

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following equation.

x = 0.7x + 24

And we want to solve it for x.

For these kinds of equations, the way to solve for x is to isolate x on one side.

Because we have terms with x on both sides of the equation, we need to remove it from one side.

It's a good idea to remove x from the right side, as we also have our numbers on that side. If we move it to the left side, there aren't any numbers there, so we can more easily solve this equation.

Here is our equation again:

x = 0.7x + 24

Subtract 0.7x from both sides.

x = 0.7x + 24

-0.7x -0.7x

______________________

0.3x = 24

Now, we have variables on one side, and numbers on the other, but we aren't done yet.

Remember that we are solving for x, not 0.3x. (When x is written by itself, it is the same as 1x).

So, in order to find the value of 1x, we need to divide both sides by 0.3, as when a number is divided by itself, the value is 1. If there is a variable, the value will be 1*that variable (e.g. 1n, or n)

**Note that we don't divide by 0.3x, as if we did that, the left side would equal just 1, not 1x.

So, let's divide both sides by 0.3.

0.3x = 24

÷0.3   ÷0.3

x = 80

Angle D and Angle F are supplementary. The measure of Angle D is (3x + 5), and the measure of angle F is (2x). What is the measu
olga55 [171]

Step-by-step explanation:

Two angles are called suplementary when their measures add to 180 degrees.

D+F= 180

3x+5+2x= 180

5x+5=180

5x= 175

x= 35°

angle D = 3x+5= 3(35)+5= <u>110°</u>

The ratio of the measures of the acute angles of a right triangle is $8:1$. In degrees, what is the measure of the largest angle
victus00 [196]

Answer:

The angles in the triangle and 10, 80 and 90

Step-by-step explanation:

The two angles that are left in a right triangle add to 90 degrees

8:1 means that there total is 9

8x+1x = 9x

9x = 90

Divide by 9

9x/9 = 90/9

x = 10

8*10 = 80

1*10 = 10

The angles are 80 and 10

The angles in the triangle and 10, 80 and 90

Answer:

3:2

Step-by-step explanation:

I'd say 3:2 because when you divide 45/30, you get 3/2, which is the same as 3:2. Hope this helps!
