40% of 60 is 24

To convert from percent to decimal, divide the percent without the percent symbol by 100.

so, 40% = 40/100 = 0.4

40% 60 is just 0.4*60 = 24

Nata [24]

Angle 6 = angle 7 = 61⁰, as vertical angles
Angle 5 = angle 8, as vertical angles

angle 6+angle 7 + angle 5 + angle 8 =360
61+61 + angle 5 + angle 8 =360
angle 5 + angle 8 = 360 - 61*2 = 238⁰

3/4 (x - 3) - 5 = 1/8 ( x - 1 )

KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

x = - $\frac{57}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{3}{4}$ (x - 3) - 5 = $\frac{1}{8}$ (x - 1)

Multiply through by 8 to clear the fractions

6(x - 3) - 40 = x - 1 ← distribute parenthesis and simplify left side

6x - 18 - 40 = x - 1

6x - 58 = x - 1 ( subtract x from both sides )

5x - 58 = - 1 ( add 58 to both sides )

5x = - 57 ( divide both sides by 5 )

x = - $\frac{57}{5}$
