You are correct with that answer
We have to know the angle that is not labelled. (lets call it y)
9x + y= 180
and the sum of the angles of a triangle is 180
5x + (9+x) + y=180
2 simultaneous equations
These questions can be daunting at first, but they're pretty simple to solve.
First, we need to establish a common denominator. We have 2 / 3, 1 / 4, and
-4 / 3. The least common denominator we can get is by multiplying 4 and 3 together to get 12. So we will change the denominator as follows;
2 / 3, 1 / 4, -4 / 3 = 8 / 12, 3 / 12, -16 / 12
Now we can put these back into the equation.
8/12x + 3/12 = -16/12
8x + 3 = -16
It's simple math from here on out, but I'll show the process. What we can basically do now is take away the denominator because it doesn't matter now that it's common.
Subtract 3 from both sides. Now we have 8x = -19
Dividing by 8 on both sides of the equation will get you your answer.
x = -19/8
Hope this helps!
No, it isn't!
first, the discount is 20 percent of 18 dollars, that is 18/5=3.6
this means that during the first week the prize is 18-3.6=14.4
now, the prize is marked up 20 % of 14.4! this is 2.88
so the prize later will be 14.4+2.88, that is 17.28, not 18
what is relevant here is what a number is a percent OF
