Answer:

The number is 20.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, first take the words and turn into an equation.

3/5x + 8 = x

Now we can solve for x using the order of operations

3/5x + 8 = x

8 = 2/5x

20 = x

Alinara [238K]

Answer: 4 days (I think)

Step-by-step explanation:

One cat = 150*2 = 300g

Two cats = 600g

600*2 = 1200 (this is the total amount of food they both eat in a day)

5kg = 5000g

1200g/5000g = 4.17

The bag will last 4 days.

what is the missing angle measurements for the isosceles triangle it has a picture of a triangle and has 70°
bulgar [2K]
Well if they part that has 70 degrees is congruent to any other side it is 70 + 70 which equals 140 and 360 which is a complete circle minus 140 is 220  the missing angels are there fore 70 and 220   or if the angle isnt congruent then the other sides must be so what plus itself on top of adding 70 will get us 360. lets find out what 220 in half is   since 220 and 70 equals 360. 110 is 220 in half so the sides missing on this could be 110 110

Liz has a 24 inch long ribbon she cuts nine 2 inch pieces from her original ribbon how much of the original ribbon is left?
wel
If she cut off nine pieces of 2-inch ribbon, in all, that would be 18. After that, it would simply be the matter of subtracting 24 and 18.

24 - 18 = 6.

And there's your answer. Liz has 6 inches of ribbon left.

HELPPPPP MEEE PLZZZZ!!!
ladessa [460]
You need the Law of Sines for this.  In our case we have the measure of angle B and side b, we have the measure of angle A and are looking for side a, or x.  Setting up the Law using our info, we have \frac{x}{sin(42)} = \frac{9}{sin(29)}.  We will solve for x by multiplying both sides by sin(42): x= \frac{9sin(42)}{sin(29)}, first choice above.
