Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Jill makes purses and backpacks.

Let x represent the number of foot of fabric required to make a purse.

Let y represent the number of foot of fabric required to make a backpack.

To make each purse,she uses 1 foot less than half the amount of fabric she uses to make a backpack. This means that

x = (y/2) - 1

Therefore, the amount of fabric that Jill needs to make backpack will be

y/2 = x-1

y = 2(x-1) = 2x - 2

The number of feet of fabric that she will use to make a purse is

x = (y/2) - 1

5m-8=2m+2 <br><br> what does m equal
vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

m = 10/3

<em>(as a decimal: m = 3.333...)</em>

<em />

Step-by-step explanation:

5m - 8 = 2m + 2

 5m - 8 = 2m + 2

- 2m       - 2m              <em>(make all "m" on one side to isolate variable)</em>

 3m - 8 = 2    

      + 8 + 8              <em>(get m entirely on 1 side)</em>

3m = 10

÷3      ÷3                         <em>(divide by 3 to get 1m)</em>

m = 10/3

<em>(as a decimal: m = 3.333...)</em>

<em />

hope this helps!! have a lovely day :)

Can someone help me solve this? Pls and ty!

Answer:

H. 95°

Step-by-step explanation:

m∠BGC is 10° smaller than m∠CGD, which means that m∠BGC is x° - 10°

m∠DGE is 25° more than m∠EGF, which means that m∠DGE is x° + 25°

The sum of all angles in a placement like this will always equal 360°

So we put all the measures of all angles on one side of thee equation and set it equal to 360*

x° + x° - 10° + 2x° + 25° + 2x° + 3x° + 30° = 360°

After combining like terms we get 9x° + 45° = 360°

After some algebra we get x = 35°

Now at the start we said that m∠DGE is x + 25°

Plug in 35° for x and we get 35° + 25°

The final answer is m∠DGE = 95°

Edit: Sorry if my answer looks a bit confusing. This is actually my first answer on Brainly so I'm quite new to this experience.

Enter the equation in standard form.<br> y − 6 = −(x + 4)
worty [1.4K]
<h3>Answer:   x + y = 2</h3>

====================================================

Work Shown:

y - 6 = -(x + 4)

y - 6 = -x - 4

y = -x - 4 + 6 ..... adding 6 to both sides

y = -x + 2

y + x = 2 .... adding x to both sides

x + y = 2

The equation is in standard form Ax+By = C, with A = 1, B = 1, and C = 2.
