$4(3x) = 4( - 9) \\ 12x = - 36$
$3(4x) = 3( - 12) \\ 12x = - 36$
So the equations are equal

Answer:

$m\angle Y=40^\circ$

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose we have a triangle WXY whose internal angles are:

$m\angle W = 10x+17$

$m\angle X=2x-9$

$m\angle Y=3x+7$

The sum of the measures of the angles must be 180°, thus:

$10x+17 + 2x-9+3x+7=180$

Simplifying:

15x + 15 = 180

Subtracting 15:

15x = 165

Dividing by 15:

x = 11

Thus, the measure of angle Y is

$m\angle Y=3x+7=3*11+7=33+7=40$

$\mathbf{m\angle Y=40^\circ}$

A basket contains 12 apples and some other fruit. Write an equation that could be used to find the total number of fruits in the

o-na [289]

A basket contains 12 apples and some other fruit
40% of the total fruit are apples...so 40% of the total fruit is 12..

0.40x = 12....with x being the total fruit in the basket <== ur equation
x = 12 / 0.40
x = 30....and u have 30 pieces of fruit in the basket
