Answer:
x=35
Step-by-step explanation:
When a is parallel to b, the two angles will add to 180
x+ 3x+40=180
Combine like terms
4x+40 =180
Subtract 40 from each side
4x= 180-40
4x= 140
Divide by 4
4x/4 = 140/4
x=35
The prime number is 17 if you look at a multiplication chart there is nothing that equals 17 on there right ?? Even if you divide you will have to find something close to 17 like 16
-- After dog ate 1/2 of the collection, there were 29 remaining.
-- Just before dog came along, there were (2 x 29) = 58 cards.
-- That was after Dan added 5 new ones.
-- Before he added the 5 new ones, there were (58 - 5) = 53 cards.
-- When this story began, Dan had <em>53 cards</em>.
