Answer:
x = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
ABC is an isosceles triangle
So
<A = <C = 73
<B = 180 - 2 * 73
<B = 180 - 146
<B = 34
Given <B = 6x +4
So
6x + 4 = 34
6x = 30
x = 5
Answer:
4 questions
Step-by-step explanation:
90% is the same as multiplying a number by 0.9. Let's say the number of questions on the quiz is x. This means the amount she got right was 0.9x. We are given this is 36, so we can set them equal and simplify:
0.9x = 36
x = 40
She must have gotten 40 - 36, or 4 questions wrong.
Answer:
x = 25.35 (or 2129/84) and y = 4334.04 (or 121353/28)
Step-by-step explanation:
The given equations are set up and ready to go with substitution. Simply just plug in the first equation to the second equation as both are equal to y.
Step 1: Replace y in <em>y = 87x + 2129 </em>with <em>171x</em>
171x = 87x + 2129
Step 2: Subtract 87 x on both sides
84x = 2129
Step 3: Divide both sides by 84 to get x
x = 2129/84 or 25.35 (rounded)
To get y, simply plug in x into one of the 2 original equations. In this case, I will use the first equation:
y = 171 (25.35)
y = 121353/28 or 4334.04 (rounded)
You can check your work by plugging both solutions into the calculator and see if they equal each other. The values for these answers are solely based on the equations, so if you write the <em>equations </em>wrong themselves, then that means you have the values wrong as well.
