All angles of any triangle must add up to 180 degrees.

So, (10x - 4) + (8x + 3) + 91 = 180 ; Solve for "x" ;
___________________________________________
10x - 4 + 8x + 3 + 81 = 180 ;

Combine the "like terms" on the left-hand side of the equation:
___________________________________________
+10x + 8x = 18x ;

- 4 + 3 + 8 = 7 ;
____________________________
18x + 7 = 180 ;
___________________________________________
Subtract "7" from each side of the equation:
___________________________________________
18x + 7 - 7 = 180 - 7 ;
___________________________________________
to get:

18x = 173 ;
_________________________________
Divide EACH side of the equation by "18" ; to isolate "x" on one side of the equation; and to solve for "x" ;
_________________________________
18x / 18 = 173 / 18 ;
_________________________________
x = 9.6111111111111111....
_____________________________________

Write as: 9.611 ; or; 9 11/18.

Joann has a jug containing 128 ounces of milk. She drinks 14 ounces of milk each day. Enter the function f(x) that represents th

Tatiana [17]

Answer:

$f(x)=128-14x$

Step-by-step explanation:

So, we started out with 128 ounces of milk.

Each day, Joann drinks 14 ounces of milk.

Therefore, the amount of milk left over after x days is 14 times x subtracted from 128.

Therefore, our function is:

$f(x)=128-14x$

And we're done!
