Congrats to Shirley!! Does she have a question?
Answer:
x = 20
Step-by-step explanation:
since the triangle is a right angle, that means the angle is 90 degrees
equation:
30 + 3x = 90
subtract 30 on both sides
30 - 30 + 3x = 90 - 30
3x = 60
then divide each side by 3

x = 20
Answer:
16 lb of fresh coffee.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x pound be the amount of fresh coffee needed.
100 - 12 = 88% is equivalent to 14 2/25 of roasted coffee.
By proportion x = 14 2/25 / 88/100
= 352 / 25 * 100/88
= 35200 / 25 * 88
= 16 lb (answer).
