Answer:
x = 52
Step-by-step explanation:
Vertical angles are angles that are opposite from each other.
According to the vertical angles theorem, vertical are are congruent. Therefore, if the angles opposite of x is 52 degrees, angle x also equal 52 degrees.
Answer: The correct answer is option B: There are between 15 and 20 green pieces in all 5 packages
Step-by-step explanation: The most important factor has been given which is, "Which statement about the candy pieces in the remaining packages is best supported by this information."
The information given is such that, the first package she opened had 4 green pieces and on this basis we can safely assume that all other packages have 4 green pieces as well. The second package had 3 green pieces and this based on this too we can safely assume that all other packages had 3 green pieces. Hence, all 5 packages can either have a total of 4 x 5 green candies which equals a total of 20 green pieces or, all 5 packages can have a total of 3 x 5 green candies which equals a total of 15 green pieces.
So according to Suzi's experiment, there are between 15 and 20 green pieces in all 5 packages.
So for this trinomial, I will be factoring by grouping. Firstly, what two terms have a product of 16x^2 and a sum of 10x? That would be 8x and 2x. Replace 10x with 2x + 8x:
Next, factor x^2 + 2x and 8x + 16 separately. Make sure that they have the same quantity inside the parentheses: 
<u>Now you can rewrite this as 
, which is your final answer.</u>
There are two equation:
1) From Kim
2) From Daniel
Let:
x be the cost of rolls of plain wrapping paper
y be the cost of rolls of shiny wrapping paper
Kim:
7x + 8y = 140
Daniel:
14x + 7y = 154
<u>Using elimination method:</u>
(7x + 8y = 140) * -2 (Multiplying the equation by -2)
-14x - 16y = -280
-14x -16y = -280
14x + 7y = 154
------------------------------
0x - 9y = -126
9y = 126 (Negative sign cancels from both sides)
y = 126 /9
y = 14
The cost of each shiny wrapping paper is $14.
Now solve x, you pick any two equation to solve for x.
7x + 8y = 140
7x + 8(14) = 140 (You know from above y =14)
7x + 112 = 140
7x = 28
x = 28/7
x = 4
The cost of each plain wrapping paper is $4.
Solution: (4,14)
