Answer:

135 pennies

Step-by-step explanation:

 x= pennies in the door at the start

x-1/3x-1/3(x-1/3x)-1/3(x-1/3x-1/3(x-1/3x))=40

x = 135

Proof: 135-45-20 =40

135-45=90

90=30=60

60-20=40

In fig if x+y=w+z then prove that AOB is a line.​
frez [133]

Answer:

As Given, x+y=w+z

To Prove: AOB is a line or x+y=180

∘

(linear pair.)

According to the question,

x+y+w+z=360

∘

∣ Angles around a point.

(x+y)+(w+z)=360

∘

(x+y)+(x+y)=360

∘

∣ Given x+y=w+z

2(x+y)=360

∘

(x+y)=180

∘

Hence, x+y makes a linear pair.

Therefore, AOB is a straight line
