Answer:
x = 26
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum of the angles around point O = 360°, thus
x + 3x + 256 = 360 , that is
4x + 256 = 360 ( subtract 256 from both sides )
4x = 104 ( divide both sides by 4 )
x = 26
Answer:
We can call the amounts of red, gray, and brown dye 1 1/8x, 3/4x and 5/8 x respectively and we can write the equation:
1 1/8x + 3/4x + 5/8x = 20
2 1/2x = 20
x = 8 which means that the stylist needs 1 1/8 * 8 = 9 oz red, 3/4 * 8 = 6 oz gray and 5/8 * 8 = 5 oz brown.
