Answer:

after 3 hours of instruction.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, start by setting up the equation.

Leda charges an initial fee, meaning this fee is only going to be one time. However, there is an hourly rate of 11. Since we do not know how many hours these piano lessons are going to last, we put a variable (I will use x), after this number.

The initial fee is 8.50. There needs to be a variable after 11 because that is the number we don't know.

The equation for Leda's lessons are <em>8.50+11.00x. </em>

Now, we need to find out what the equation for Thanh's lessons are going to be, because we're going to be setting both equations equal to each other to find out when they cost the same. At the moment both equal each other, is when they are the same amount.

Thanh's equation also has an intial fee and an hourly rate. So, the equation will be

<em>10.00+10.50x. </em>

Now we solve.

<em>8.50+11.00x = 10.00+10.50x </em>

First, subtract from both sides. We will do the numbers without variables first.

<em>8.50+11.00x = 10.00+10.50x </em>

<em>-8.50               -8.50 </em>

<em>____________________</em>

<em>0     +11.00x =   1.50 +10.50x</em>

Then, subtract the x's. (taking away the zero because it is equivalent to nothing)

<em>11.00x =   1.50 +10.50x</em>

<em>- 10.50x            -10.50x</em>

<em>__________________</em>

<em>0.50x = 1.50 </em>

Lastly, to find out the answer, we divide.

1.50/0.50= 3.

<u>To check your answer, you can plug into the original equation. </u>

<em>8.50+11.00 times 3 = 10.00+10.50 times 3 </em>

Both sides equal 41.50, meaning they are equal to each other!

I need the angle measurements for each letter in this image
Blizzard [7]

Answer:

To find c you know that angles on a straight line equal 180° (supplementary angles). So 70+30+∠C=180.

Now we can solve this.

100+c=180.

Move the 100 over to the other side.

100-100+c=180-100

Simplify.

∠C=80°

Because we know that the two lines with double arrows are parallel, we can use the rule that alternate interior angles are congruent. This means that ∠E=70.

∠E=70°

Since the total sum of the angles in a triangle are equal to 180°, we know that ∠D+∠C+∠E=180. Because we already know ∠C and ∠E we can put those numbers in for them. 80°+70°+∠D=180°. Now we can solve this.

80+70+D=180

Simplify this.

150+D=180

Now we move the 150 over to the other side to get D by itself.

150-150+D=180-150

Simplify.

D=30

∠D=30°

Now we can find the vertical angle opposite ∠A by using the alternate interior angles rule again this time using the parallel lines with only one arrow on them. The vertical angle opposite ∠A=30°. Since vertical angles are congruent ∠A=30°.

∠A=30°

We are going to use the alternate angles rule one more time to solve for ∠B (this rule is very important when dealing with parallel lines), we could also use the corresponding angles rule but for simplicity we will just stick with the alternate angles rule. Because the vertical angle opposite ∠A is equal to 30°, we can see that the supplementary angle opposite ∠B=30°. Because this angle is supplementary with B we know that 30+B=180.Now we can solve this.

30+B=180

Now we move the 30 over to the other side.

30-30+B=180-30

Simplify.

B=150

∠B=150°

I hope this helps!

Rewrite 8x - 7 as the product of two factors
kykrilka [37]

Answer:

factors are any group of number or expressions which, when multiplied, produce another number or expression.

Basic example:  4 can be broken into 2 factors---2 and 2.  2 times 2 = 4

Example using an unknown:

2X + 6 = 2 * (X + 3)

In the given problem, there is no whole-number common factor.  A normal convention would be to factor based on the unknown term----thus 8X is factored into 8 and X.

So:  8X + 7 = 8 ( X + 7/8 )

The following would also be correct:

8X + 7 = 4 ( 2X + 7/4 )
