-- After dog ate 1/2 of the collection, there were 29 remaining.
-- Just before dog came along, there were (2 x 29) = 58 cards.
-- That was after Dan added 5 new ones.
-- Before he added the 5 new ones, there were (58 - 5) = 53 cards.
-- When this story began, Dan had <em>53 cards</em>.
Convert the equation into slope-intercept form 2x+3y=9
Yep, this one seems sneaky and confusing. But it's not so bad if you remember the things you learned about parallel lines. (It can't be too tough ... I learned them
in 1954 and I still know how to use them.)
Look at the picture. Line ' l ' is parallel to line ' m ', and the horizontal line on the bottom (which is not labeled) is a transversal that cuts the parallel lines.
Did you learn that interior angles on the same side of the transversal are equal ?
I'm sure you did, although it may have a new name nowadays.
Anyway, with the help of that 'tool', angle-'B' and angle-'D' are equal. So . . .
(angle-A + angle-B) = 120
angle-B = 65
angle-A = 120 - 65 = <u>55 degrees</u>.
