If the amount of monkeys is m, lions is a, and lizards is b, then a+b+m=151, 17+a=m (since there are 17 more monkeys than lions), and 30+a=b. Substituting those values in (17+a=m and 30+a=b), we have 30+17+a+a+a=151=47+3a. Subtracting 47 from both sides, we get 104=3a. Next, we can divide both sides by 3 to get 104/3=a (the number of lions), 104/3+17=the number of monkeys, and 104/3+30=the number of lizards. Somehow we end up with a fraction (not a whole number), so there are 2/3rds of monkeys floating around using this logic.

What are the terms in the expression 2x−4y+8 ?
vazorg [7]

Answer:

A. 2x, -4y, and 8

Step-by-step explanation:

If there is a minus sign in front of the 4 (-), add that to the expression. What you are just simply doing is separating the numbers up. For example:

12x - 8y + 4x

Now here, you have two of the same variables (x, y, etc). So, what you do is look at the last number that has the same variables, which is 4, and look at what the problem you will be solving, which is addition. So, very simply, you add then together!

12× + 4× = 16×

As you can see I kept the same variable. This is because, well, it is the same! Simply, just substitute in the 16× with the 8y. Now here is the tricky part, for some people. Do you see that there is a negative sign in front of the 8 (-)? Well! You have to substitute that in with the expression. No adding this or anything, just simply slide it next to the 16× because, we can not add nor subtract it with the 8y just because it has a different variable.

Your example answer would be: 16× - 8y

Hope this helps!

P.S. if you think this helped you at all, Brainliest me if ya want to. Have a great day!

Can someone help me with please??​
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

The angle is 35 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is an isosceles triangle, we know that the two remaining angles must be the same. Set those angles equal to x. Now, we can solve for x by adding those two angles to the third angle and setting equal to 180.

x + x + 110 = 180

2x + 110 = 180

2x = 70

x = 35
