Answer:

3x + 20 = 80

Step-by-step explanation:

If Sam gets paid $20 a week whether she makes any cakes or not, that is a fixed amount.  The amount that she makes will only go up IF she makes cakes.  She makes $3 per cake she bakes, and if the number of cakes is our unknown, the expression for that is 3x.  Adding that to the fixed amount she makes is 3x + 20.  Now we set that equal to 80, which is what she made in a week and solve it for x, which gives us the number of cakes she had to bake to make that $80.

3x + 20 = 80

Find, correct to five decimal places, the length of the side labeled x. a = 25 cm, b = 3π 8 rad
frosja888 [35]
I am assuming from What I have found is that a is the base , b is angle between a and x and x is the hypotenuse . 
So we know that 
cos θ =base/hypotenuse 
here θ = 3Ď€/8 =67.5 degree 
cos 67.5 =0.38268 
so  
0.38268=a/x 
x=25/0.38268 
x=65.32873

There are 50 students in the 5th grade at Clark School. One day, 20% of them were absent. How many fifth graders were in school
natita [175]
Well, 20% is equivalent to (1/5). So, you'd put 50 in the numerator and 5 in the denominator. (50/5) is equal to 10. Then you'd take that value and subtract it from your original value. [ 50 - 10 = 40 ]. 40 Students were at school that day.

Andrew has 212 coins, all of
Igoryamba

Answer:

158 quarters

54 dimes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let d = no. of dimes

     q = no. of quarters

10d = value of all the dimes since each dime is worth 10 cents

and 25q = value of all the quarters since each quarter is worth 25 cents

$44.90 = 4490 cents

  10d + 25q = 4490              d + q = 212

<u> - 10d - 10q = -2120</u>

             15q = 2370

                 q = 158 quarters   d + 158 = 212

                                                        d = 54 dimes
