Amy:  (3 pages/min)(x min) + 9 pages
Sam:  (2 pages/min)(x min)  + 47 pages

Equate these:  3x+9 = 2x + 47

Then x = 38.  The two friends will have covered the same number of pages after 38 minutes.  How many pages would that be?  3(38)+9 = 123 pages.

What is the value of x in the diagram?
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

65

Step-by-step explanation:

They are vertical angles; so angles are congruent

*<em>Vertical angles are always congruent*</em>

<em>Congruent means equal or same.</em>

1) Since they are congruent, you form an equation.

<h2>145 = 2x + 15</h2>

2) Solve by subtracting 15 from both sides.

<h2>145 = 2x + 15</h2><h2>- 15            -15</h2><h2>----------------------</h2><h2>130 = 2x</h2>

3) Solve by dividing 2 from both sides

<h2>130/2 = 2x/2</h2>

4) Simplify

x = 65
