Answer:
x = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
m<PQR = (2x + 6)°
m<RPQ = (x - 7)°
m<QRS = (5x - 17)°
<PQR and <RPQ are interior angles opposite to the exterior angle <RPQ.
Therefore,
m<PQR + m<RPQ = m<QRS (Exterior Angle Theorem of a Triangle)
Substitute in the values
2x + 6 + x - 7 = 5x - 17
Add like terms
3x - 1 = 5x - 17
Collect like terms
3x - 5x = 1 - 17
-2x = -16
-2x/-2 = -16/-2
x = 8

Answer:
C. 15 1/4 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
Since our options are in pounds, we would need to convert all our weight to pounds.
Now, by standard conversion 1 pound = 16 Ounce
3 cartons of blueberries that weigh 12 ounces each
- 12 Ounce=0.75 Pound
- 3 X 0.75 =2.25 Pounds
3 cartons of strawberries that weigh 16 ounces each
- 16 Ounce =1 Pound
- 3 X 1 =3 Pounds
4 bunches of bananas that weigh 2.5 pounds
Total Weight (In Pounds)=2.25+3+10=15.25 Pounds
This is equivalent to 15 1/4 pounds.
<u>The correct option is C.</u>
