Answer:
x=9
Step-by-step explanation:
These two angles are equal since they are alternate exterior angles
-1 +14x = 12x+17
Subtract 12x from each side
-1 +14x-12x = 12x-12x+17
-1+2x= 17
Add 1 to each side
-1+1+2x = 17+1
2x = 18
2x/2 = 18/2
x =9
Answer:
82ibs - 40ibs = 22ibs
Step-by-step explanation:
The Number of boys in the class is: 18
Let's call "g" to the number of girls in the class.
The problem says that there is "w" fewer boys than girls, so we have:
g-w=18
Then, the number of girls in the class is:
g=18+w
Let's call "x" to the total number of studens in the class:
x=g+18
When we substitute g=18+w into x=g+18, we obtain:
x= (18+w)+18
The total number of studens in the class is:
x=w+36
