x+ y =  96   →     y = 96 - x     (1)

And the price per plain cake * the number he sold + price of the decorated cake * the number he sold = total sales

So

8x + 12y = 800    (2)

Subbing (1) into (2), we have that

8x + 12 (96 - x)  = 800   simplify

8x + 1152 - 12x  = 800       

-4x + 1152 = 800    subtract 1152 from both sides

-4x  = -352     divide both sides by -4

x = 88   = the number of plain cakes he sold

And 96 - x =  96 - 88  = 8   = the number of decorated cakes he sold

If line t is a transversal of lines l and m, name the angle relationship of the given angle pairs.
Ghella [55]

Answer:

\angle 1\ and\ \angle 3 are corresponding angles and are congruent to each other.

\angle 8\ and\ \angle 4 are alternate exterior angles and thus congruent to each other.

\angle 2\ and\ \angle 3 are interior angles on the same side, and they are supplementary(sum=180°).

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Line l\parallel m

Line t is traversal.

By angle properties we can name the angle relationship of given angle pairs.

\angle 1\ and\ \angle 3 are corresponding angles and are congruent to each other.

\angle 8\ and\ \angle 4 are alternate exterior angles and thus congruent to each other.

\angle 2\ and\ \angle 3 are interior angles on the same side, and thus they are supplementary.

At the family reunion there were 15 more family members there this year than at the last family reunion. There were 46 people at
Kipish [7]
The equation would be x+15=46. I came up with this equation because we are given the total number of people at the reunion this year and we know how many more people are here this year than last year. The unknown is the number of people last year. That is why x would represent the number of people at the reunion last year because that is the unknown. If we add 15 to the number of people last year, it will give us 46( the number of people at the reunion this year).
To find x, we just use opposite operation to get the answer. Opposite of addition is subtraction so, we subtract the number of more people and the reunion this year from the total number of people at the reunion to get the unknown number of people at the reunion last year. 46-15 is 31. Therefore we know that 31 people were at the reunion last year
