we can write the equation as

x/2 + 7 = 12

x/2 = 12 - 7

x/2 = 5

x = 5 X 2

x= 10

TWO EASY QUESTIONS 8TH GRADE MATH
Sophie [7]

<2 and <6 are right angles by the definition of perpendicular lines.
Since corresponding angles are congruent, m || n.

11.
In a triangle, the measures of the three angles add to 180 degrees.
If one angle is a right angle, then that angle measures 90 degrees. The other two angle measures plus 90 degrees add to 180 degrees, so the other two angle measures add to 90 degrees. In a right triangle there is a right angle and two other angles that are complementary.

Now look at your problem.
One angle is a right angle.
The other two angles are complementary, so their measures add to 90 deg.

8x + 2 + 9x + 3 = 90

17x + 5 = 90

17x = 85

x = 5

Would the answer for 36 be $9.88 or $9.75?
ludmilkaskok [199]

total bill before any discounts $13.

she is a student, so she gets 20% off.

she brought an item of clothing, so she gets 5% off.

so she's really getting 20% + 5% off, namely 25% off her bill.

\bf \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{a\% of b}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ \left( \cfrac{a}{100} \right)\cdot b \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}~\hspace{5em}\stackrel{\textit{25\% of 13}}{\left( \cfrac{25}{100} \right)13\implies 3.25}~\hfill \stackrel{\textit{bill with all discounts}}{13-3.25\implies 9.75}
