Answer: i believe its 8
Step-by-step explanation:
i say 8 because 3x4 is 12 and so if bertha orignally had 4 and was given 4 she would have 8 and if su had 12 and gave away four she would also have 8
Answer: choice B, 40.5 degrees
The triangle is isosceles based on the fact that AC = BC (the tick marks are the same). The angles opposite the congruent sides are also congruent
angle A = angle B = x for some unknown number x
The three angles A,B,C add to 180, so,
A+B+C = 180
x+x+99 = 180
2x+99 = 180
2x = 180-99
2x = 81
x = 81/2
x = 40.5
So angle A and angle B are both 40.5 degrees
Check:
A+B+C = 180
40.5+40.5+99 = 180
180 = 180 answer is confirmed
==============================
Edit
The sides with the two tick marks are the same length, so 7x-4 is the same as length as 31
7x-4 = 31
7x = 31+4
7x = 35
x = 35/7
x = 5
Answer is choice B) 5
if only i knew I would love to help you sorry
Answer:
x = -3.5 or -1
Step-by-step explanation:
Add 7 and factor.
2x^2 +9x +7 = 0
(2x +7)(x +1) = 0
x = -3.5 or x = -1 . . . . . values that make the factors zero

<em>Comment on factoring</em>
Factoring ax^2 +bx +c = 0 requires you find factors of ac that have a sum of b. Here, you're looking for factors of 2·7 = 14 that have a sum of 9. If you're observant, you realize that 2+7=9, so 2 and 7 are the factors you want.
Now, you can write the factored form as ...
(ax +p)(ax +q)/a = 0 . . . . where p and q are the factors of ac we just found
The divisor "a" is used to simplify one or both of the factors. Here, we have ...
(2x +2)(2x +7)/2 = 0
(x +1)(2x +7) = 0 . . . . . . we removed a factor of 2 from the first binomial
