<span>"The company pays $55 a day for food and lodging and $0.45 for each mile traveled" means that if she travels m miles and is on a trip for x days then Rita will receive:

55x + 0.45m dollars. 


Rita drove 300 miles, means that m=300. Thus </span>55x + 0.45m becomes <span>

</span>55x+0.45m=55x+0.45 \cdot 300=55x+135 (dollars.)

She was reimbursed  $2,335 means that 55x+135=2,335.


Part A: 55x+135=2,335.

Part B: 

We are given the equation 55x+135=2,335. Subtracting 135 from both sides we have:

55x=2,335-135=2,200.

Dividing both sides by 55, we get: x=2,200/55=40.


Part C: since x represents the number of days Rita spend on this trip, and x=40, then Rita spent 40 days on this trip.

Angelo cuts a triangle from a sheet of paper as shown. what is the measure of the triangle?
NikAS [45]
Http://prntscr.com/anjh06

The image I saw was a paper with 90° edges. the 90° was cut into 2, 75° and x.

x = 90° - 75° = 15°

Interior angles of a triangle should equal 180°. The other corner of the paper is part of the triangle. It has a measure of 90°

The two angles are 15° and 90°. To find the remaining unknown angle, we deduct the two angles from 180°

3rd angle = 180° - 15° - 90°
3rd angle = 180° - 105°
3rd angle = 75°
