Answer:

21

Step-by-step explanation:

3n - 15 - 6 + 2n = 4n

3 n + 2n = 4n + 15 + 6

5 n - 4n = 15 + 6

n = 21

Answer:

 n = 21

Step-by-step explanation:

Use distributive rule: a(b + c) = a*b + a*c

3(n -5) - (6 - 2n) = 4n

3*n - 3*5 + 6*(-1) - 2n *(-1) = 4n

3n  - 15 - 6 + 2n = 4n             {add like term in LHS}

3n + 2n - 15 - 6 = 4n

            5n - 21  = 4n              {add 21 to both sides}

       5n -21 + 21 = 4n +21

                     5n = 4n + 21         {subtract 4n from both sides}

             5n - 4n = 4n -4n +21

   n = 21

Mikes movie Rentals Charge $3.00 for each rental plus $0.50 for each additional day. Reed's Rentals Charge $1.50 each rental plu
iris [78.8K]

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

What we need here is to express both charges trough equations, and then find out for which value these equations are equal.

Let X be the amount of additional days of rent.

So, Mikes Movie Rentals cost equations is:

CostMike = 3 + 0.5X

This implies that if there is no additional day (X=0), the cost is $3, if there is one additional day the cost is $3.5, for 2 days $4, and so on ...

Now lets find Reed's Rental cost.:

CostReed = 1.5 + 1.25X

And the interpretation is analogous to the one above. If there is no additional day, Reed's charge is $1.5, for 1 days $2.75, for 2 days $4

(Notice that with the examples I made about interpreting the equations I found out that for 2 days the cost of both is the same. Now lets find it analytically)

For finding the additional days that give the same costs we need to equal both equations:

3 + 0.5 X = 1.5 + 1.25 X

Lets subtract 1.5 from both sides:

3 - 1.5 + 0.5 X = 1.5 - 1.5 + 1.25 X

1.5 + 0.5 X = 1.25 X

Now subtract 0.5 X in both sides:

1.5 + 0.5 X - 0.5 X = 1.25 X - 0.5 X

1.5 = 0.75 X

Dividing both sides by 0.75:

1.5 / 0.75 = 0.75 X / 0.75

2 = X

So, for 2 additional days bith charges are equal.

Helpp please ! need to<br> show work for geometry
podryga [215]

Answer:

45 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

AOB = 140°

and an the angle bisector(OC) is a line which will divide AOB into 2 equal angles

which is 140÷2= 70

and if AOD = 25 then COD= 70-25

= 45 degrees
