Answer:
Personal items=15
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given:
Total number of artifacts = 72.
We are told that 2/3 of total artifacts are shards of pottery.

We are also told that 1/8 of total artifacts are tools.
Now we will find out number of personal items by subtracting combined number of shards of pottery and tools from total number of artifacts.


Therefore, there are 15 personal items.
Answer:
I believe the x value is 5
Step-by-step explanation:
point A is plotted on point (5,3)
5 is x and y is 3, hope it helps
X = measure of each of the legs
"perimeter is 8 more than 2 times one of the legs" ---> P = 2x+8
P = 28 is the given perimeter
So,
P = 2x+8
28 = 2x+8
2x+8 = 28
2x = 20
x = 10
If x = 10, then the two legs add up to x+x = 10+10 = 20
Leaving P-20 = 28-20 = 8 inches left over for the base
You have the correct answer (choice D, 8 inches) though your steps are a bit confusing at some parts. Such as the part where you wrote 2x = 10 twice. I think I know what you were trying to say.
