Answer: x=3

Step-by-step explanation:Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

(8x-11)-(15-x)=1

(8x-11)+-1(15-x)=1 (distribute the negative sign)

8x+-11+-15+x=1

8x+x+(-15+-11)=1 (combine like terms)

9x+-26=1

Step 2: Add 26 to both sides

9x-26+26=1+26

9x=27

Step 3: Divide both sides by 9.

9x/9=27/9

x=3

Answer:

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

First open the brackets. While opening brackets, you've to be careful about signs. So when you open bracket of (15-x), there's negative sign in front of it, so it makes the signs inside the brackets to change. Then you solve the it.

FInd the value of x. Y D W X (15x-8) X = N 226

Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Let's start with the given arc and its angle.

The angle YWX is going to be half the arc length.

YWX = 1/2 (226) = 113

Angles VWX and YWX form a linear pair (or are supplementary angles), which means that their sum is 180 degrees.

(15x - 8) + 113 = 180

15x + 105 = 180

15x = 75

x = 5

Hope this helps!

A jet ski company charges a flat fee of $24.00 plus $2.25 per hour to rent a jet ski. Another company charges a fee of $23.00 pl

Tju [1.3M]

Let

x----------> charge per hour to rent a jet sky in dollars

y----------> the total cost to rent a jet sky in dollars

we know that

First Jet Sky Company

$y=24.00+2.25x$ ---------> equation $1$

Second Jet Sky Company

$y=23.00+2.50x$ ---------> equation $2$

we know that

To find the number of hours for which the costs are the same

equate equation $1$ and equation $2$

The intersection both graphs is the solution of the problem

using a graph tool

see the attached figure

the intersection point is $(4,33)$

That means

For $x=4\ hours$

the cost of the rent is $y=\$33$ in both companies

therefore

the answer is

$4\ hours$

1) m∠1 = 360°/8 = 45° . . . . . a regular octagon is 8-way rotationally symmetrical, so each sector is 1/8 of a circle.

2) m∠2 = (180° -45°)/2 = 67.5° . . . . . . the angles of a triangle add to 180°. The base angles of an isosceles triangle are equal.
