Answer:
Bert has $45.
Step-by-step explanation:
I have no real strategy, except for that I used guess and check. How did I do this? Well, since I am in 5th Grade, I don't know algebra very well, so I made an organized chart and checked all the numbers that had to be a multiple and could be divided equally by 5, 3 and when a third of that number was subtracted by 6, it was a fifth of the orginal number. Thats how I got 45.
Checking this answer:
It is always important to check your answer after finishing the problem, so this is how I checked my answer:
1. 45 divided by 3 = 15
2. 15 - 6 = 9, and 9 is 1/5 of 45

Choice a.....................
Answer:
AC = 25 units
Step-by-step explanation:
Given ∠ A = ∠ C then the triangle is isosceles and BC = AB , that is
7x - 1 = 5x + 5 ( subtract 5x from both sides )
2x - 1 = 5 ( add 1 to both sides )
2x = 6 ( divide both sides by 2 )
x = 3
Then
AC = 6x + 7 = 6(3) + 7 = 18 + 7 = 25 units
