Answer:
x = 16
Step-by-step explanation:
(5x + 12)° + (6x - 8)° = 180°
(5x + 12 + 6x - 8)° = 180°
(11x + 4)° = 180°
11x + 4 = 180
11x = 180- 4
11x = 176
x = 176/11
x = 16
The last one isn’t
there can’t be more than 1 of the same x value
Hi,
Essentially, we are saying that Alyssa gets 5 parts of the whole thing (140,000), Bart gets 3 parts of the whole and Meghan gets 2 parts of the whole. The sum total of their parts = the whole. So now we need to find out how much one part is. Thus,"one part" should be the variable. Substitute p for "one part", so Alyssa gets 5p, Bart gets 3p, and Meghan gets 2p. Since the sum of the parts = the whole, your problem sets up as: 5p + 3p + 2p = 140,000 --> 10p = 140,000 --> 10p/10 = 140,000/10 --> x = 14,000.
Alyssa gets 5p or (5 x 14,000)
Bart gets 3p or (3 x 14,000)
Meghan gets 2p or (2 x 14,000)
If the whole was a loss, it would be a negative, and instead of getting money, they would lose money.
The sum of all three is 6x^2y + 2xy^2
