So let's start out by labeling Ethan as X
Since 85 is 1/3 of what Ethan drove, that means Ethan drove 3 times of 85.
85= (3x) -21
85 -21 = 3x
60=3x
20 = x
Answer:
m<N = 76°
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
∆JKL and ∆MNL are isosceles ∆ (isosceles ∆ has 2 equal sides).
m<J = 64° (given)
Required:
m<N
SOLUTION:
m<K = m<J (base angles of an isosceles ∆ are equal)
m<K = 64° (Substitution)
m<K + m<J + m<JLK = 180° (sum of ∆)
64° + 64° + m<JLK = 180° (substitution)
128° + m<JLK = 180°
subtract 128 from each side
m<JLK = 180° - 128°
m<JLK = 52°
In isosceles ∆MNL, m<MLN and <M are base angles of the ∆. Therefore, they are of equal measure.
Thus:
m<MLN = m<JKL (vertical angles are congruent)
m<MLN = 52°
m<M = m<MLN (base angles of isosceles ∆MNL)
m<M = 52° (substitution)
m<N + m<M° + m<MLN = 180° (Sum of ∆)
m<N + 52° + 52° = 180° (Substitution)
m<N + 104° = 180°
subtract 104 from each side
m<N = 180° - 104°
m<N = 76°
Answer:
a. 
b. His teacher will receive more pencils (See explanation).
Step-by-step explanation:
a. The total number of pencils Louis brings to school is:

Then, in order to calculate the number of pencils Louis’s teacher will receive after he gives each of his 15 classmates an equal number of pencils, you need to solve the division show in the picture attached.
Notice that the remainder obtained is:
.
<em>This means that Louis’s teacher will receive 4 pencils.</em>
b. If Louis decides instead to take an equal share of the pencils along with his classmates, his teacher will receive more pencils; because the amount of pencils each classmate will receive will be less. This means that the number of pencils leftover will increase, leaving more pencils for his teacher.
Answer:
16
Step-by-step explanation:
let the number be x , then
x = 15 ( multiply both sides by 4 to clear the fraction )
3x = 60 ( divide both sides by 3 )
x = 20 , then
× 20 = 4 × 4 = 16
