Vertical angles is an X but that's how you tell if they're vertical angles
Givens
Let the number of students in the class be x
Let the number of pieces of gum she gave out be 3x
Equation
3x + 8 = 168 This will not work out evenly. Let's try x - 1. The reason for that is because she may not give out anything to herself.
3(x - 1) + 8 = 168 This doesn't work either.
Well we have to choose. It's a rounding problem.
3x + 8 = 168 Subtract 8 from both sides.
3x = 168 - 8 Combine
3x = 160 Divide by 3 on both sides.
x = 160 / 3
x = 53.333333333
Since that can't be, we could say there were 53 students.
3x
Answer:
I don't know the answer to this one, sorry
Since x = y + 2
so
y + 2 + 4y = 7
5y + 2 = 7
5y = 7-2
5y = 5
y = 1
x= y + 2
x = (1) + 2
x = 3
(x,y) = (3,1)
The answer to the equation is c
