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 " .

Please help, brainliest for correct answer
slava [35]

Answer:

The correct answer is m∠2 = 120°

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a triangle rule that states the outer angle of an angle in a triangle is equal to the sum of the remaining two angles in that triangle, which means that m∠2 = 52° + 68° = 120°. This can be proven correct because the sum of two of the angles in the triangle is 120°, which means the final angle is 60°. Since m∠2 is the outer angle of 60°, that means it will be 180° - 60° or 120°.

Which equation, when graphed, has x-intercepts at (-1,0) and (-5,0) and a y-intercept at (0, -30)?
Vladimir [108]

If a function has roots -1 and -5, it must be in the form

f(x)=a(x+1)(x+5)

We can fix the coefficient a by imposing the passing through (0,-30):

f(0)=-30=a(1)(5)\iff a=-6

So, the function is

f(x)=-6(x+1)(x+5)
