Hello!

We are told that n and m are parallel.
The angle that measures 105 degrees is supplementary with the alternate interior angle of the angle which measures (3x - 18) degrees. Supplementary angles add to equal 180 degrees, so we can make an equation by first finding the measure of the alternate interior angle.

180 - 105 = 75

The alternate interior angle measures 75 degrees, so we can set that equal to 3x - 18 to solve for x since alternate interior angles are congruent.

75 = 3x - 18
93 = 3x
31 = x

Answer:
x = 31

Kimane and a friend picked apples. Kimane picked 4 2/3 and his friend picked 5 5/6 pounds. About how many pound of apples do the

Gala2k [10]

Answer:

$9\dfrac{1}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

To find many more pounds of apples Kimane and his friend needs to get, we first need to find out how many pounds of apples they picked together.

Kimane = $4\dfrac{2}{3}$

Friend = $5\dfrac{5}{6}$

We add them together to find out how many pounds of apples they currently have.

Total Pounds = $4\dfrac{2}{3}+5\dfrac{5}{6}$

Just to make the equation clearer, we separate the whole numbers from the fractions.

$=4+5+\dfrac{2}{3}+\dfrac{5}{6}$

$=9+\dfrac{2}{3}+\dfrac{5}{6}$

Now since we cannot add the 2 fractions directly since they have different denominators, we need to convert the $/dfrac{2}{3}$ into a fraction with the same denominator.

We multiply both the numerator and denominator by 2 to have the same denominator.

$\dfrac{2*2}{3*2}=\dfrac{4}{6}$

So now we have:

$=9+\dfrac{4}{6}+\dfrac{5}{6}$

$=9+\dfrac{9}{6}or1\dfrac{1}{2}$

$Total Pounds = 10\dfrac{1}{2}$

Now that we know how many pounds Kimane and his friend collected, we simply subtract 20 and the total amount Kimane and his friend had already collected.

$20-10\dfrac{1}{2}$

$=9\dfrac{1}{2}$

So Kimane and his friend still need to get $9\dfrac{1}{2}$ more pounds of apples to get 20 pounds of apples.
