Answer:
x = 14.375
Step-by-step explanation:
Ok, so we know that a triangle has a total interior degree of 180°. And since we already have a 95° angle, we just need to subtract 95 from 180.
180° - 95° = 85°
Now, we already have indicators that two of the three sides are equal. And we already got the angle of the side that does not have a matching partner. So we just need to divide what we already have by 2.
85° / 2 = 42.5°
Now that we know each side is 42.5 degrees, we just need to grab our given equation and put and equal sign at the end with what we already know is the answer (since we are trying to solve for <em>x</em>).
(4x - 15) = 42.5
Now, let's just get rid of those useless parentheses.
4x - 15 = 42.5
Next, we just need to have the variable on its own side, all by itself. So, in order to do that, we just add 15 to both sides.
4x = 57.5
Now, for our final step, we just need to divide each side by our variables' factor (which is a positive 4). In which we get our final answer of:
x = 14.375

Step-by-step explanation:
To answer this question you have to create a system of equations. The first equation will be that Devi's money (x) equals her brother's money (y), or x = y. The next equation would be that (3/5)x + (7/10)y = 78. You than can substitute x in for y because x = y. The equation would know be (3/5)x + (7/10)x = 78. You then combine the like terms to create an equation of (13/10)x = 78. Then, multiply both sides by 10 / 13 in order to isolate x. This will create the equation x = 60. This means that Devi and her brother each had 60 dollars. You then find out how much they spent and add it together. You can do so with the equation (2/5)x + (3/10)y = z, with z being total money spent. You substitute 60 in for x and for y then solve. When you solve you see that 24 + 18 = z, or that z equals 42. In other words, they spent 42 dollars altogether.
