The correct answer is: B. 47 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Let A,B and C be the three angles

∠A = 8x+6

∠B = 7x-8

∠C = 5x+2

As we know that sum of angles of a triangle is 180°

Mathematically

∠A+∠B+∠C=180°

(8x+6)+(7x-8)+(5x+2) = 180°

8x+6+7x-8+5x+2=180°

20x=180°

dividing both sides by 20

20x/20 = 180/20

x= 9

The angles will be:

∠A = 8x + 6 = 8(9)+6 = 72+6 =78°

∠B = 7x-8 = 7(9)-8 = 63-8 = 55°

∠C = 5x+2 = 5(9) +2 = 47°

The smallest angle is 47°

Hence,

The correct answer is: B. 47 degrees

while shopping for clothes, Tracey spent 38$ less than 3 times what Daniel spent. write and solve an equation to find how much D

alexandr1967 [171]

$\bold{\huge{\orange{\underline{Solution}}}}$

$\bold{\underline{ Given :- }}$

While shopping for clothes Tracey spent 38$ less than 3 times of what Daniel spent

$\bold{\underline{ To\: Find :- }}$

We have to determine the total cost spent by daniel

$\bold{\underline{ Let's \: Begin :- }}$

Cost spent by Tracey for her clothes = 38$

Let assume the spending by Daniel is x

$\bold{\underline{Therefore ,}}$

$\sf{ x / 3 = 38 }$

$\sf{ x = 38 × 3 }$

$\sf{ x = 114 dollar }$

$\sf{\red{ Hence,\: Daniel\: spent\: 114 \: dollars\: on \: His\: clothes }}$

1. 2x + 4 = 3(x – 2) + 1

sweet [91]

Please, do not post more than 1 or 2 questions at a time. Out of courtesy I will address one of your six questions here:

2x + 4 = 3(x – 2) + 1

You are to solve this for x.

1) perform the multiplication: 2x + 4 = 3x - 6 + 1
2) combine like terms: 4+6-1 = x
3) solve for x: x = 11
4) check: Is 2(11) + 4 = 3(11-2) + 1 true?
Is 22+4 = 33-6 true? NO. Try again, looking for the mistake:

2x + 4 = 3(x – 2) + 1 => 2x + 4 = 3x - 6 + 1
4 = x - 5
9 = x

Check: Is 2(9) + 4 = 3(9-2) + 1 true? Is 18+4 = 22 true? YES.
The solution to #1 is x = 9 (answer).

Submit your other questions separately, please.
