Answer:
24
Step-by-step explanation:
You need to plug in 3 for all of the x-values
That looks like 2(3)^2 + 5(3) - 9
Then if you simplify it is 2(9) + 15 - 9
Then simplify one last time and you get a final answer of 24

3x-1=77 (due to exterior alternate angle)
Or, 3x=77-1
or, 3x=76
or, x=76/3
or, x=25.3
855=95d
855 minutes is equal to 95 minutes times the number of days run
