These angles are vertical angles meaning that they are equal to each other. Here is the equation for this problem:

x + 40 = 3x

Combine like terms

(x-x) + 40 = 3x - x

40 = 2x

Isolate x

40/2 = 2x/2

x = 20

Hope this helped!

A bookcase has two shelves. The top shelf has 10 more than 1/3 the number of books on the bottom shelf. There are 12 books on th

kobusy [5.1K]

Answer: b.14

Step-by-step explanation:

We have two shelves, the top shelf $s_{t}$ and the bottom shelf $s_{b}$ .

Now, firstly we are told the top shelf has 10 more than 1/3 the number of books on the bottom shelf. This can be expressed as:

$s_{t}=10+\frac{1}{3}s_{b}$ (1)

Then, we are told there are 12 books on the bottom shelf:

$s_{b}=12$ (2)

Substituting (2) in (1):

$s_{t}=10+\frac{1}{3}(12)$ (3)

$s_{t}=10+\frac{12}{3}$ (4)

$s_{t}=14$ (5) This is the number of books on the top shelf

Hence, the correct option is b.

VikaD [51]

Answer:

4 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The scale drawing is

$\frac{1}{4}\ \frac{cm}{ft}$

That means ----> 1 cm in the drawing represent 4 ft in the mural

To find out the dimensions in the drawing, multiply the actual dimension by the scale drawing factor

$(16\ ft)(\frac{1}{4}\ \frac{cm}{ft})=4\ cm$
