1.) Set up an equation.

All of the angles in a triangle have a sum of 180°. This means that in order to solve this problem, you have to add up all of the angle measures. Since we already know they add up to 180°, then the algebraic equation will look like:

y + y - 12 + 56 = 180

2.) Simplify.

We can see that there are two variables and two known numbers. To make the equation simpler, add up the numbers that are compatible with each other.

(y + y) + (-12 + 56) = 180

--> 2y + 44 = 180

3.) Isolate y.

If 180 is 44 more than 2y, then that means we can flip this and say that 2y is 44 less than 180. Numerically, this would be:

2y + 44 = 180

--> 2y + 44 - 44 = 180 - 44

---> 2y = 136

Isolate y using the same concept.

\frac{2y}{2} = \frac{136}{2}

--> y = \frac{136}{2}

We are left with y = 68.

4.) Check your work.

Now that we know the value of y, all that's left to do is to plug in the value to see if your answer is true.

(68) + (68) - 12 + 56 = 180

--> 136 - 12 + 56 = 180

---> 124 + 56 = 180

So we know it is true that y = 68°. Hope this was helpful.

Answer:

The domain is all real numbers such that -6≤x≤-2, and the range is all real numbers greater than or equal to -4.

Step-by-step explanation:

The domain refers to the set of possible <u>input</u> values, so in the domain of a graph consists of all the input values shown on the x-axis, in this case, all numbers beetwen -6 and -2. The range is the set of possible <u>output</u> values, which are shown on the y-axis; in the graph, all numbers equal and higher than -4.

aksik [14]

Answer:

Rounded to the nearest integer, the company has a total of 82,958 employees.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that an international company has 25,800 employees in one country, if this represents 31.1% of the companies employees, to determine how many employees does it have in total, the following calculation must be performed:

31.1 = 25,800

100 = X

100 x 25,800 / 31.1 = X

2,580,000 / 31.1 = X

82,958.1 = X

Thus, rounded to the nearest integer, the company has a total of 82,958 employees.

The price of an item decreased by 20% to $200. Then later the price decreased again from $200 to $150. What is the percent of de
cricket20 [7]

Answer:

40%

Step-by-step explanation:

ok so first find the og price:

100% - 20% = 80%

so 80% = 200

let the 100% be x:

x * 0.8 = 200

x= 250

100% = 250

(difference/ og price) * 100% = the percentage decrease/ increase

(250-150/250)* 100% = 40%

OR

((the final price/ og price) * 100%) - 100%

((150/250)*100%) - 100% = 40%

There was a 40% decrease from the og price to the final price of 150.
