Answer:
b=-1
Step-by-step explanation:
-7+b=-8
Add 7 to each side to isolate b
-7+7+b=-8+7
b = -1
Answer:
The measure of angle IJU is 20 degrees.
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to find that, we need to add the two angles together and set equal to 180 degrees. Then we can solve for x.
(3x - 7) + (17x + 7) = 180 ----> Combine like terms
20x = 180 -----> Divide by 20
x = 9
Now that we have this, we can stick the value into the equation and solve for IJU.
IJU = 3x - 7
IJU = 3(9) - 7
IJU = 27 - 7
IJU = 20
Work problems are solved by first figuring out how much of the job they can do in each hour. Shawn can do 1/4 of the job in an hour and Ellie can do 1/6 of the job in an hour. 1/6+1/4=2/12+3/12=5/12. This means that they can do 5/12 of the job an hour. This means that together they can do the job in 2 2/5 hours. The foreman is obviously wrong because first of all Shawn can do it alone in 4 hours, so with Ellie he will do it faster, and second of all 2 2/5<5. Hope this helped!
