Answer:

x = 21.25

Angle A = 68.75

Step-by-step explanation:

This is an isosceles triangle because two sides are congruent. So angle A is equal to angle C

(3x + 5) + (3x + 5) + 2x = 180

3x + 5 + 3x + 5 + 2x = 180

3x + 3x + 2x + 5 + 5 = 180

8x + 10 = 180

8x = 180 - 10

8x = 170

x = 170 ÷ 8

x = 21.25

Angle A = 3x + 5

3x + 5

3(21.25) + 5

63.75 + 5

= 68.75

Check.

68.75 + 68.75 + 2(21.25) = 180

137.5 + 2(21.25) = 180

137.5 + 42.5 = 180

180 = 180

(Correct)

The triangle is isosceles, so the bottom angles have the same measure. So, the angles measure 2x, 3x+5 and 3x+5.

The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180, so we have

$2x+(3x+5)+(3x+5)=8x+10=180 \iff 8x=170 \iff x=\dfrac{170}{8}=\dfrac{85}{4}$

So, angle A measures

$3\left(\dfrac{85}{4}\right)+5 = \dfrac{275}{4}$

The stock of Company A lost 2% today to $46.55. What was the opening price of the stock in the beginning of the day?

Answer:

$2327.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The stock of company A lost 2% today .

Let the price of the stock at the beginning of the day be A.

Therefore, a 2% loss of A = $46.55

That’s

2% /100% x A = $46.55

0.02 x A = $46.55

Divide both sides by 0.02

0.02/0.02 x A = $46.55/0.02

A = $2327.5

The price of stock at the beginning of the opening day was $2327.5

Jeff must do a book report. He reads 3 pages of his book in 13 minutes. He reads 9 pages of his book in 39 minutes. He reads 15

svlad2 [7]

Do you see a pattern in the given information?
3 pages in 13 min
9 pages in 39 min
15 pages in 65 min

the rate of pages per min is constant
3/13 = 9/39 = 15/65

the Question is asking for time.. So the we need the rate as min per page 13/3 so when multiplied by the number of pages it cancels to give minutes.

Units cancel out just like numbers do so you know that the problem is set up correctly.

$(351 pages) * ( \frac{13min}{3pages})=1521 .minutes$
