x = total amount of students in 8th Grade.
we know only one-thrid of the class went, so (1/3)x or x/3 went.
we also know 5 coaches went too, and that the total amount of that is 41.

now, to verify, well, what do you get for (108/3) + 5?
First do the the parenthesis: (6-3) = 3
Now you have [-4 + 3 * 8] -10
Next do multiplication: 3 *8 = 24
Now you have [-4 + 24]-10
Now do what is in brackets: -4 + 24 = 20
Now you have 20-10
Subtract 20-10 = 10
Answer: 2 out of 20=2/20 but simplified 1/10 for trying to get a green marble.
X^4+ 3x^3+4x^2-8 | x+2 = x^3+x^2+2x-4
-x^4-2x^3
-----------------------
x^3+4x^2-8
-x^3-2x^2
-------------------------
2x^2-8
-2x^2-4x
--------------
-4x-8
4x+8
----------------------------
/ /
is a factor because (x+2)(x^3+x^2+2x-4)=x^4+3x^3+4x^2-8
I started this one then got busy with other things.
z and 71 deg form a same side interior pattern
they're supplementary angles
sum to 180 degrees
z + 71 = 180
z = 180 - 71
z = 109 degrees
z and x are alternate angles
their measures are the same
z = 109 deg so x = 109 deg
y and 71 deg form adjacent angles which are supplementary
sum to 180 degrees
y = 180 - 71 = 109 deg
x = 109 deg, y = 109 deg, z = 109 deg
Part b
w and 88 form a supplementary pair
they add to 180 deg
w = 180 - 88 = 92 deg
v and 101 deg are vertical or opposite angles
They are congruent
So v = 101 deg
