The answer is:  " 40 books " .
____________________________________________
Explanation:
____________________________________________
Let "x" equal the number of books that Jill started with.  Solve for "x" :
____________________________________________
         x – (1/2)x  + 16 = 36 ;

1x – (1/2)) = (1/2)x ; 

(1/2)x + 16 = 36 ; 

Subtract "16" from EACH SIDE of the equation:

(1/2)x + 16 – 16 = 36 – 16  ; 

(1/2)x = 20 ; 

Multiply each side of the equation by "2" ; 

2*(1/2)x = 20 * 2 ; 

to get:  x = 40 .

The answer is:  " 40 books " .

The volume of a rectangular prism is 2,058cm. The Length of the prism is 3 times the width. The height is twice the width. Find
Nat2105 [25]

v = l x w x h

v = 2058

width = x

height = 2x

length = 3x


2058 = 3x*2x*x =

2058 = 6x^3=

343 = x^3

x = 7

2*7 = 14

3*7 = 21

21*14*7 = 2058

Help me pleaseee asap !!!
frosja888 [35]

Step-by-step explanation:

5x+3x-14=180

8x-14=180

8x=180+14

8x=174

x=174/8

x= 21.75°

if x is 21.75°, then 5x is 108.75°

which means 3x-14 is 51.25°

therefore, f +108.75+51.25=180

f = 180-160

f=20°

Which of the following is the correct factored form for the given equation? 2x^2+8x+6=0
3241004551 [841]
It would be 2(x+3)(x+1)=0

Explanation:
I used factor by grouping. You multiply the first term (2) by the last term (6). This gives you 12 then take the factors of 12 that add up to the middle term 8. You get 6 and 2.
It should look like 2x^2+6x+2x+6=0
when you do factor by grouping you factor the first two terms and then the last two terms separately. So you get (2x+2) and (x+3). (2x+2) could be factored into 2(x+1). Then you put everything together and get 2(x+3)(x+1)=0
