Let f be the height of the fir trees
Let p be the height of the pine trees

We know from the problem that
f + p = 21  and 4f = 24 + p
rearrange the 2nd equation to get p = 4f - 24 and substitute into the other equation

so...
f + 4f - 24 = 21
5f - 24 = 21
5f = 45
f = 9 - height of the fir tree

substitute back into the 1st equation
9 + p = 21
p = 12 - height of the pine tree

What is the value of x?<br><br> A. 142<br> B. 152<br> C. 76<br> D. 71
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

x has a value of 71, making D the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Because this is an isosceles triangle, we know that the bottom two angles are equal.  We also know that the sum of the angles inside a triangle will always come to 180°.  With that in mind, we can simply subtract 38° from 180° and divide by two to get the correct answer.

x = (180 - 38) / 2\\= 142 / 2\\= 71

So the correct answer is D, 71 degrees.

EleoNora [17]

Answer: Add the number previously added multiplied by 3;

+3x, where x is the number that was added previously

Step-by-step explanation:

3+5=8. That's the first equation, where 5 is x. Then the next equation, 8+3x=23. 8+15=23. It works for all of the equations, so that's the pattern.
