An easy method of converting decimal to binary number equivalents is to write down the decimal number and to continually divide-by-2 (two) to give a result and a remainder of either a “1” or a “0” until the final result equals zero.
Answer:
x = 16
Step-by-step explanation:
The diagram can be misleading because angle A does not correspond to angle F. Rather angle F corresponds to angle C.
In congruent triangles, corresponding angles have the same measure. The sum of angles is always 180°, so we have ...
... m∠A +m∠B +m∠C = 180°
... (3x+6)° +50° +(9x -68)° = 180°
... 12x -12 = 180 . . . . . divide by °, collect terms
... x -1 = 15 . . . . . . . . . .divide by the coefficient of x
... x = 16 . . . . . . . . . . . add 1

<em>Check</em>
m∠A = (3x+6)° = 54°
m∠C = (9x -68)° = 76°
The total of angles is 54° +50° +76° = 180°. . . . . as it should be

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x and y represent the weights of the large and small boxes, respectively. The problem statement gives rise to the system of equations ...
x + y = 85 . . . . . combined weight of a large and small box
70x +50y = 5350 . . . . combined weight of 70 large and 50 small boxes
We can subtract 50 times the first equation from the second to find the weight of a large box.
(70x +50y) -50(x +y) = (5350) -50(85)
20x = 1100 . . . . simplify
x = 55 . . . . . . . divide by 20
Using this in the first equation, we can find the weight of a small box.
55 +y = 85
y = 30 . . . . . . . subtract 55
A large box weighs 55 pounds; a small box weighs 30 pounds.
