The answer is: x = 2 ∨ x = -1
Answer:
angle NMP = 63°
angle LMP = 74°
Step-by-step explanation:
Let angle NMP be x° . It's given that angle LMP is 11° more than angle NMP. So, angle LMP = x° + 11°
But angle NML = 137°.
So,
angle NMP + angle LMP = 137°
=> x° + x° + 11° = 137°
=> 2x° + 11° = 137°
=> 2x° = 137° - 11°
= 126°
=> x° = 126/2 = 63°
angle NMP = 63°
angle LMP = 63 + 11 = 74°
Part A : 60miles would represent 4.8 inches
Part B : 1/4 inch would represent 3 and 1/8 miles
All you have to do to solve this problem is to put it into fraction form: if for every $4 Jo makes, Leila makes $3, then the fraction would be 3/4.
To solve this divide 60 by 4 to get 15 and then multiply 15 by 3 to get Leila's pay. 15*3=45
Check it by putting it into simplest form as a fraction to see if it checks:
45/60=3/4 and 3/4=3/4 so therefore Leila makes $45 in profit
