Hello there! I can help you! So what we are looking for is the value of x. To find the value of x, we can write and solve an equation. Set it up like this:

4x + 28 = 180

This is because the sum of the angles for a triangle is 180°. We combine the like terms to get 4x and subtract 6 from 34 to get 28. First off, let's subtract 28 from both sides. 28 - 28 cancel out. 180 - 28 is 152. That simplifies into 4x = 152. Now, divide each side by 4 to isolate the x. 4x/4 cancels out. 152/4 is 38. There's a possible value of x. Let's plug the value in and see if it works. 38 * 2 is 76. 76 - 6 is 70. 38 + 34 is 72. 70 + 72 is 142 and 142 + 38 is 180. 180 = 180. There. x = 38. Here are the answers for the angle measurements:

(x + 34) = 72°
(2x - 6) = 70°
x° = 38°

$\text{If}\ \triangle ABC\cong\triangle DE F, \text{then}\\\\m\angle A=m\angle D,\ m\angle B=m\angle E\ \text{and}\ m\angle C=m\angle F\\\\\text{Therefore we have the equation:}\\\\8x-1=87\qquad\text{add 1 to both sides}\\\\8x=88\qquad\text{divide both sides by 8}\\\\\boxed{x=11}\\\\\text{We know, the sum of measures of the angles in a triangle is 180}^o.\\\\\text{Therefore:}\\\\m\angle F=180^o-(42^o+87^o)\\\\m\angle F=180^o-129^o\\\\m\angle F=51^o\\\\\text{We have the equation:}$

$3y=51\qquad\text{divide both sides by 3}\\\\\boxed{y=17}\\\\Answer:\ \boxed{x=11\ and\ y=17}$

At Longbridge middle school, 240 students said that they are an only child, which is 48% of the schools student enrollment. how

Ivanshal [37]

240 students = 48% of total enrollment

48% means 0.48
"of" means "times" .

240 students = 0.48 x total enrollment

Divide each side by 0.48 :

Total enrollment = 240 students / 0.48 = 500 students
