Two lines that cross each other have each pair of angles the same.
2x+6=96 --> x=45
6. One variable only so pretty straightforward.
length-x+4
width-x
x+x+4=80
2x=76
x=38
x+4=42
answer: length 42cm and width 38cm
7. Another money problem!
n-# of nickels
q-# of quarters
n=3+q
0.05n+0.25q=2.85
Substitution works like a charm!
0.05(3+q)+0.25q=2.85
0.15+0.05q+0.25q=2.85
0.3q=2.7
q=9
n=3+q
n=3+9
n=12
answer: 9 nickels and 12 quarters
8. One variable situation again.
Ann's money-2b+9
Betty's money-b
b+2b+9=60
3b=51
b=17
2b+9=43
answer: Ann has $43 and Betty has $17.
9. # of red m&m's-x+1
# of blue m&m's-x
x+1+x=13
x=6
x+1=7
answer: 6 blue and 7 red m&m's
10. a-number of adult tickets
s-number of student tickets
a+s=785 ----> a=785-s
5a+2s=3280
5(785-s)+2s=3280
-3s=-645
s=215
a+s=785
a+215=785
a=570
answer: 215 children tickets and 570 adult tickets
Your answer is 36 times 2
X = measure of angle 1
y = measure of angle 2
z = measure of angle 3
w = measure of angle 4
Focus on the bottom triangle. The three angles add to 180 degrees
(angle 2) + (angle 3) + 116 = 180
y+z+116 = 180
y+z= 180-116
y+z= 64
Since we have the bottom triangle as isosceles, this means that y = z, so
y+z = 64
y+y = 64
2y = 64
y = 64/2
y = 32
making z = 32 as well
Similarly, angle 1 and angle 4 are 32 degrees because the 116 angle is opposite the top left-most angle, and congruent to this angle. In other words, the bottom triangle is a mirror image of the top triangle.
The figure is a rhombus because all four sides are the same length (as shown by the tickmarks)
-----------------------------------------------------------
Answer:
This figure is a rhombus
All four angles (angle 1 through angle 4) are the same measure. They are each 32 degrees
