Puppies with long hair: 9
Pups no long hair:6
Dogs long hair: 11
Dogs no long hair:6
Answer:
1.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Vertical angles are congruent so:
7x=8x-12
Subtract 7x from both sides:
0=8x-12
Add 12 to both sides:
8x=12
Divide both sides by 8:
x=1.5 or
x= 3/2
The answer to you ? is = -3/4x
Part A: Charlie's answer is incorrect
In step 2 of Charlie's answer he subtracted 5 from each side. Since 5x is multiplication, he must DIVIDE each side by 5 to get x by itself. The problem should have worked out like this...
Step 1: 5x = 30
Step 2: x = 30/5
Step 3: x = 6
Part B: There is only 1 solution for this problem.
