adell [148]

Answer:

$2.10x + 5= $49.10

x=21

Step-by-step explanation:

the x is used for a variable that changes and in this case the mph changes which lead x being the amount of miles that they had drove which at the end ends up multi. with the $2.10 . as for the 5 it was an initial as in it doesn't change.

for the second part

you subtract 5 from each side so you have the total of 2.10x= 44.10 then u divide 2.10 from each side and that will give you x = 21

What is the sum of all the angles that are labeled?
Tasya [4]

Based on the information provided, the sum of all the labeled angles is 235° (option b).

<h3>How to calculate the sum of all labeled angles?</h3>

To calculate the sum of all the labeled angles we must add the different values of each labeled angle as shown below:

80° + 92° + 40° + 23° = 235°

According to the above, it can be inferred that the correct option is B because the result of the sum of the values coincides with this sum.
