It is 29 because a right angle is 90 so the equation should be 61 plus x=90 so you could just subtract and it would be 29
I guess it is simplifying the expression:
45 :)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
<span>8x² - x + x² + 4x - 9x² = 18
3x = 18 | 8x</span>² + x² - 9x² = 0<span>
x = 6 | divide by 3
Answer: x = 6</span>
Louann= 14x+24
Carla= 16x+14
So basically this is just like solving equations. The way I did this was just put random numbers for x and then solve it.
First attempt:
14(7)+24=16(7)+14
98+24=112+14
122=126
Okay the first one didn't work so I use 6 for x.
Second attempt:
14(6)+24=16(6)+14
84+24=96+14
108=110
So 6 didn't work and you already should know that the answers should be between 1 and 5.
So now I going to do 5 for x
Third attempt:
14(5)+24=16(5)+14
70+24=80=14
94=94
And so the answer is 5! :D The multiply choice questions were worth 5 points and Louann and Carla had 94 for their scores! I hope this help you out and clear for you! :D
