Take 10% of $50, which is $5, and add it to the price of the shoes.

5 + 50 = 55

The total bill should be somewhere around $55.

Use the Associative, Commutative, and Distributive properties to write an

Ann [662]

Answer:

$\boxed{5(x+1)}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Associative Property

$\boxed{a+(b+c)= (a+b)+c}$

$\boxed{a \cdot (b\cdot c)= (a \cdot b) \cdot c}$

Commutative Property

$\boxed{ b \cdot a = a \cdot b}$

$\boxed{a+b= b+c}$

Distributive Property

$\boxed{ a(b+c)= ab+ac }$

$\boxed{ a(b-c)= ab+ac }$

$2x + 8 + 3x - 3 =5x+5 = \boxed{5(x+1)}$

One angle of a triangle measures 60°. The other two angles are in a ratio of 7:17. What are the measures of those two angles?

lesya [120]

Answer:

35° and 85°

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the 3 angles in a triangle = 180°

Since one angle = 60° then the sum of the other 2 angles = 120°

Sum the parts of the ratio 7 + 17 = 24 parts, hence

$\frac{120}{24}$ = 5° ← value of 1 pat of the ratio, hence

7 parts = 7 × 5° = 35°

17 parts = 17 × 5° = 85°

note that 60° + 35° + 85° = 180°
