8 = x
cross multiply
5x =120
5x÷5 = 120÷5
x = 24
Check
5/8 = 15/24
.625 = .625

Step-by-step explanation:
We can immediately eliminate answers B and C because we have >, meaning that the circle on the number line has to be open.
-2x+7>17
subtract 7 on both sides
-2x>10
divide by -2. remember that dividing by a negative flips the greater than or less than sign.
x<-5
the answer is D
Answer:
x = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the fact that line segments AB and BC are parts of the whole line segment AC, we can write the following equation:
AB + BC = AC
Now, using the given values, we can substitute in for the equation and solve for x:
AB + BC = AC
9 + 2x - 5 = x + 9
2x + 4 = x + 9
x = 5
Thus, we have found that for these sets of equations for these line segments, our value for x should be 5.

Answer:
40 degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
The 100 degree angle is supplementary to angle CED. This means CED will end up being 80 degrees. Since the angles in all triangles equate to 180 degrees 80 + 60 + angle D must equal 180 degrees. Therefore, angle D has to be 40 degrees.
