Answer:
6
Step-by-step explanation:
base + 2(legs) = 56 (2 legs are the same because it's isosceles)
x + 2(5x - 5) = 56
x + 10x - 10 = 56
11x -10 = 56
11x = 66
x = 6
Let's start by understanding that the graph is a linear line. We have a common difference if 4.5 for every 10x we have more.
We can start by finding the gradient, using rise over run. Let's take (10, 4.5) and (20, 9)
Our rise is 9 - 4.5 = 4.5 and our run is 10. Then, our gradient becomes 4.5/10 = 0.45
Now, we can substitute points using the point-slope form.
y - 4.5 = 0.45(x - 10)
y - 4.5 = 0.45x - 4.5
Hence, our line becomes y = 0.45x and you can verify by substituting in points from the table.
Ok, so we know that RST is equal to 6x+12
And RST is also equal to 78 + 3x-12
so we set them equal to each other
6x + 12 = 3x - 12 + 78
And simplify
3x = 54
x = 18
Finally, we solve for the angle with 18 for x
6(18) + 12
108 + 12
120
Hope this helps
Answer:
D.
b = 175; which is the initial # of pages to start
Step-by-step explanation:
you can find the slope to find b or y-intercept (x=0) for equation
y=mx+b
to find m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
(x1,y1) = (9, 100)
(x2, y2) = (15, 50)
m = (50-100) / (15-9) = -50/6 = -25/3
let use point (15, 50)
y=mx+b
50 = -25/3*x + b
50 = (-25/3)*(15) + b
50 = -125 + b
b = 175; which is the initial # of pages to start
