Answer to written question:
3x + 10x + 7x = 180
Combine like terms
20x = 180
Divide by 20
x = 9
Smallest angle 3x = 3*9 = 27 degrees
Answer to question in picture:
30/6x-2 = 36/5x + 13
Cross multiply
30(5x + 13) = 36(6x-2)
Distribute
150x + 390 = 216x - 72
Subtract 150x
390 = 66x - 72
Add 72
462 = 66x
Divide by 66
x = 7
12ft x 15ft = 180ft divided $150 = 1.2(this is how much the fts cost)
16ft x 20ft = 320ft divided by 1.2 = $266.66
Say you're trying to figure out what percentage 3 is of 15.
3/15 = x/100
You would cross multiply so..
3(100) = 15x
Then simplify.
300 = 15x
300/15 = 15x/15
20 = x
Therefore, 3 is 20% of 15.
Answer:
I am pretty sure it is -12
