From 1940 to 1980, the consumer price index (CPI) increased from 28.6 to 89.4. If a gallon of milk cost $0.75 in 1940 and the pr

ice of milk increased at the same rate as the CPI from 1940 to 1980, approximately how much did a gallon of milk cost in 1980?

28.6 / 89.4 = 0.75 / x
cross multiply
28.6x = 67.05
x = 67.05 / 28.6
x = 2.34 <==

. Show ALL work for the following problem... if you write the answer only, you will not get brainlist: 2(x - 2) = 4x - 6(x - 2)

Rom4ik [11]

Distribute 2 to x and -2, and -6 to x and -2

2(x - 2) = 2x - 4

-6(x - 2) = -6x + 12

2x - 4 = 4x - 6x + 12

Simplify. Combine like terms

2x - 4 = (4x - 6x) + 12

2x - 4 = -2x + 12

Isolate the x. Add 4 to both sides, and 2x to both sides

2x (+2x) - 4 (+4) = -2x (+2x) + 12 (+4)

2x + 2x = 12 + 4

Simplify

4x = 16

Isolate the x. Divide 4 from both sides

4x/4 = 16/4

x = 16/4

x = 4

4 is your answer for x.

hope this helps

If the measure of an exterior angle drawn at vertex M

Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

x

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that measure of an exterior angle which are drawn at vertex M=x

We have to find the value of measurement of angle L+measurement of angle N.

Exterior angle:It is defined as that angle of triangle which is formed by the one side of triangle and the extension of an adjacent side of triangle. The measure of exterior angle is equal to sum of measures of two non-adjacent interior angles of a triangle.

Angle L and angle N are two non-adjacent angles of a given triangle LMN.

By definition of exterior angle

x=Measure of angle L+Measure of angle N
