X would represent the total number of tests Jake took

In your equation 85x - 15 . . . . 

 - The 85 is the score that Jake makes each time. 
 - The x is the number of tests Jake takes. 
 - And the -15 means that you would subtract 15 from Jake's total score (85x) 
 - All this will equal your answer to the equation which is Mikes total score. 

The question is asking what does x represent. 
Therefor the answer would be B. The total number of tests Jake took

Hope this helps! :)

user100 [1]

Answer:

$25.25-lasagna, $12.25-garlic bread

Step-by-step explanation:

  5L+3G=163

- 4L+4G=150

______________

 4(5L+3G=163)

-5(4L+4G=150)

_____________

20L+12G=652

-20L-20G=-750

_____________

          -8G=-98

         -8G/-8 = -98/-8

               G=$12.25

now plug that into G in any of the 2 equations at the top and you can solve for L(price of lasagna)

A classmate said that AB & DC are complementary and parallel based on the diagram below. Explain your classmate's error. Not
Ugo [173]

Your classmate's error about AB and DC being complimentary and parallel is that they misapplied the alternate angle property.

<h3>Why are AB and DC not parallel?</h3><h3 />

There isn't enough evidence presented in the diagram to say that AB and DC are parallel.

The evidence required would be proof that angle AWZ is equal to angle WZY.

Instead, all we have is that  angle AWZ and angle XYC are equal which does not tell us what we need to know about AB and DC being parallel.

Which of the equations below represents a line perpendicular to the x-axis?
Allushta [10]

Answer:

Option B

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

A line perpendicular to the x-axis is a line parallel to the y-axis

so

the equation of the line is of the form x=(+/-)a

The slope of the line is undefined

where

a is a real number

therefore

x=6 is a line perpendicular to the x-axis
