x = 4 and x = - 9
In both cases the angles inside the parallel lines are same sided interior angles
24x - 1 + 20x + 5 = 180
44x + 4 = 180 (subtract 4 from both sides )
44x = 176 ( divide both sides by 44 )
x = 
= 4
Similarly
x + 109 + x + 89 = 180
2x + 198 = 180 ( subtract 198 from both sides )
2x = - 18
x = 
= - 9
Answer:
10 pair of soccer shorts.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the unknown be x.
Translating the word problem into an algebraic equation, we have;
2/5 yard = 1 pair of short
4 yard = x pair of short
Cross-multiplying, we have;
2x/5 = 4
Multiplying both sides by 5, we have;
2x = 20
x = 20/2
x = 10 pair of soccer shorts.
First we need to find x so 6x+8x+6x= 180
20x=180 and x= 9
So A= 6*9= 54
B= 8*9= 72
C= 6*9= 54
Divide 165 by 33. Your end answer result should be 1/5 or 20%.
Hope this helps.
