Answer:
148°
Step-by-step explanation:
x = 180 - 32 = 148°
(Supplementary angles)
OK.
Let's say a member and a non member each visit the garden ' V ' times.
The non-member's cost for each visit is $6 .
The non member's cost for ' V ' visits is 6 V .
His total cost for the year is 6 V .
The member's cost for each visit is $3.
The member's cost for ' V ' visits is 3V .
His total cost for the year is 3V + the $24 to join.
We want to know what ' V ' is (how many times each one can visit)
if their total costs are the same.
So let's just write an equation that SAYS their costs are the same,
and see what ' V ' turns out to be.
Non-member's cost for the year = Member's cost for the year
6 V = 3 V + 24
Subtract 3V from each side: 3 V = 24
Divide each side by 3 : V = 8 .
-- If they both visit the garden 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7 times in the year,
the member will spend MORE than the non member.
-- If they both visit the garden 8 times in the year,
they'll both spend the same amount. ($48)
-- If they both visit the garden MORE than 8 times in the year,
the member will spend LESS than the non-member.

That was the algebra way to do it.
Now here is the cheap, sleazy, logical, easy way to do it:
The non-member spends (6 - 3) = $3 MORE than the member for each visit ?
After how many visits does the $3 more each time add up to the $24 that
it cost the member to join for the year ?
$24 / $3 = 8 visits .
Since the two boxes are identical, we know that both of the boxes are of equal weight. Since one box weighs 168 ounces, the other weighs 168 too. So we add them together..
168 + 168 = 336
The total weight in ounces of the nails that Jason bought is 336 ounces.
