8x-5=19
+5 on each side
8x=24
Divide by 8 on each side.
X=3
Answer:
Aziza’s claim is incomplete. The third side must be between 4 in. and 26 in.
Step-by-step explanation:
With the Triangle Inequality Theorem, saying that the sum of lengths of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the length of the third side. With this we can develop two inequalities:
11 + 15 > x
26 > x
rewrite this as x < 26
11 + x > 15
x > 15 - 11 Subtract 11 from both sides
x > 4
Therefore, the third side can be anywhere greater than 4 inches and less than and less than 26 inches.
4 < x < 26
Answer:
0.45
Step-by-step explanation:
9/20 is the same as 0.45
Answer:
X
Step-by-step explanation:
Let X = the number of pennies.
The number of nickels would be 2X
A penny is 0.01 and a nickel is 0.05
Now you have:
0.01x + 2(0.05x) = 8.80
Simplify:
0.01x + 0.10x = 8.80
Combine like terms:
0.11x = 8.80
Divide both sides by 0.11:
x = 8.80 / 0.11
x = 80
Pennies = X = 80 total pennies.
Nickels = 2x = 2 *80 = 160 nickels.
