If we know that she got 75%, we can write it as the fraction 75/100.
We also know that she got 60 correct out of an unknown number of questions, which we can call 'x'
We means we know that 75/100 = 60/x (the number of questions)
Cross multiply to get an equation.
75 * x=60 * 100 -----> 75x=6000
Divide both sides by 75 to solve for x.
6000/75=80
x=80, meaning that her test had 80 questions on it.

The solution of the equation is $x=\frac{11}{7}$

Step-by-step explanation:

To simplify an equation of x

Simplify each side of the equation
Collect x in side and the numerical terms in the other side
Find the value of x

∵ The equation is $2x + \frac{1-x}{4}=3$

- Multiply all terms of the equation by 4 to cancel the denominator

of the 2nd term in the left hand side

∵ The equation is $4(2x) +4 (\frac{1-x}{4})=4(3)$

∴ 8x + (1 - x) = 12

∴ 8x + 1 - x = 12

- Add like terms

∴ (8x - x) + 1 = 12

∴ 7x + 1 = 12

- Subtract 1 from both sides

∴ 7x = 11

- Divide both sides by 7

∴ $x=\frac{11}{7}$

The solution of the equation is $x=\frac{11}{7}$

A regular 18-sided polygon is rotated with the center of rotation at its center. What is the smallest degree of rotation needed

dem82 [27]

It will be easier to explain how to solve this question in a square. If you rotate 4-sided square from the centre, you need to rotate it 90 degrees. The formula for this would be: 360 ° /the side count. In a square, it would be 360° /4= 90°.

In 18-sided polygon, the calculation would be: 360°/ 18 side= 20°
