<u>Answer</u>
59°
<u>Explanation</u>
There are 2 parallel line and one transverse.
Angles in a straight line add up to 180°
∴ 180 - (2a + 3) = 180 - 2a -3
= 177 - 2a
The angle (177 - 2a) corresponds to angle a in the diagram. The two corresponding angles are equal.
∴ 177 - 2a = a
177 = a + 2a
3a = 177
a = 177/3
= 59°
Answer:
315 sq. in
Step-by-step explanation:
15 * 21 = 315
Let g be the number of grandchildren, and d be the number of dogs. They both have only one head, so the number of heads is

Grandchildren have 2 legs, while dogs have 4. So, the total number of legs is

From the first equation (the one for the heads) we can derive

Substitute this into the second to get

So, there are 9 dogs and (from the first equation

Answer:
x = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
1.5(x + 4) – 3 = 4.5(x – 2)
Distributive property
1.5x + 6 - 3 = 4.5x - 9
1.5x + 3 = 4.5x - 9
1.5x - 4.5x = -9 -3
-3x = -12
x = 4
