Vertical angles are equal
4x = 45 + 15
4x = 60
x = 60/4
x = 15
Let number of hits by Sanchez be x.
Number of hits by Washington = 18 + x
Total number of hits = 292
x + 18 + x = 292
2x + 18 = 292
2x = 274
x = 137
Hence, Sanchez has 137 hits and Washington has 155 hits.
Answer:
the number of cookies ordered
Step-by-step explanation:
When an equation is written in the form ...
(left variable) = (some expression involving one or more right variables)
we usually describe the "left variable" as the "dependent variable" and the "one or more right variables" as the "independent variable(s)".
Here, the equation is given as ...
C = 3s + 30
__
This tells you C is the dependent variable, and s is the independent variable. The description also says "C is the number of cookies." Since you know that the dependent variable is the number of cookies, you can answer the question ...
the dependent quantity is the number of cookies ordered. (matches the first choice)
