Answer:

$5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of students be x, then

<u>Initial amount per student was:</u>

  • 100/x

<u>After it becomes:</u>

  • 100/(x - 5)

<u>Since amount increased after, it can be shown as:</u>

  • 100/x + 1 = 100/(x - 5)

<u>Multiply each term by x(x - 5) to get rid of the fraction:</u>

  • 100(x-5) + x(x - 5) = 100x
  • 100x - 500 + x² - 5x - 100x = 0
  • x² - 5x - 500 = 0

<u>Positive solution of this quadratic equation is </u>

  • x = 25

<u>Amount each person paid after:</u>

  • $100 / (25 - 5) = $5

By definition, a coefficient is the term that accompanies one or more variables.

For example:

3x + 5

The coefficient of the linear term is 3.

So, in the given expression we have to:

In the diagram below, AB is parallel to CD. What is the value of x?
garik1379 [7]

The correct answer is: Option (D) x = 72°

Explanation:

When two lines are crossed by another line, the angles in matching corners are called <em>corresponding angles</em>. When the two lines are <em>parallel</em>, the corresponding angles are <em>equal</em>.

Here in this case, the two lines are "AB" and "CD", and both are parallel and are crossed by the line; therefore, <em>the corresponding angles will be the same</em>.

Since the first corresponding angle is 72°, the second angle <em>x </em>will be 72° as well. The correct answer is: x = 72° Option (D).
