MVUT =175, mVUJ=17x-3, and mJUT=17x+8. Find x

kotykmax [81]

The diagram of the three angles is shown below with point U as the point where all three lines meet.

Angles property: Angles around a point add up to 360°

We set up an equation

$175+17x-3+17x+8=360$
$180+34x=360$
$34x=360-180$
$34x=180$
$x= \frac{180}{34}= \frac{90}{17}$

Taylor has saved $99 for a tablet. That is 45% of the cost of the tablet. How much does the tablet cost?

gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

$220

Step-by-step explanation:

Make a proportion

We know that 99 over some number (x) must equal 45%

99/x=45/100

Cross multiply

45x=9,900

Divide by 45 on both sides

x=220

So, the tablet costs $220

Hope this helps! :)
