Susan and Mark are given the same amount of money. Mark spends $5 and susan spends $20. If Mark now has twice as much money as S
usan , how many dollars did they each have originally ?
1 answer:
so amnt of money is x
x - 5 is Mark's remaining amnt
x - 20 is Susan's remaining amount
x - 5 = 2( x - 20) as he has twice the amnt of Susan
x - 5 = 2x - 40
40 - 5 = 2x - x
35 = x
the original amnt is $35

Two sides are the same length one angle measures 90 degrees
180 degrees in a triangle. subtract the 2 know angles to get the third.
180-39-24=117
8x^2y is correct

Answer:
x=1
Step-by-step explanation:
3(x+1)=-2(x-1)+6
3x+3=-2x+2+6
3x+2x=2+6-3
5x=8-3
5x=5
x=
x=1
You can't find slope intercept form because it is perpendicular so the equation is x= -8
