Answer:
x = 42
Step-by-step explanation:
The marked angles are supplementary, so their sum is 180°.
(2x +8) +(2x +4) = 180
4x +12 = 180 . . . . . . . . . simplify
x +3 = 45 . . . . . . . divide by 4 (because we can)
x = 42 . . . . . . subtract 3

<em>Additional comment</em>
A "two-step" linear equation like this one is usually solved by subtracting the unwanted constant, then dividing by the coefficient of the variable. Here, we have done those steps in reverse order. This makes the numbers smaller and eliminates the coefficient of the variable. Sometimes I find it easier to solve the equation this way.
Answer:
PS = 10 
Step-by-step explanation:
Lets say the base is x and the height is y. The new base would be 1.2x and the new height would be 1.3y
Area of a triangle is base times height divided by 2:
1.2x*1.3y/2 = (1.2*1.3 + x*y)/2 = 1.56xy/2 = 0.78xy = 78% of xy
But a normal area would be 50% of xy
78% - 50% = 38%
ANSWER: 38% increase
The answer is root. Hope this helps!
Y =
This is because the total cost is 10x + 480 and then that needs to be divided by the amount of people.
