<h3>
Answer: B. x = 6</h3>
==========================================================
Explanation:
Since the vertical lines are parallel, this means the alternate exterior angles shown are congruent.
Set them equal to each other and solve for x.
15(x+2) = 120
15x+30 = 120
15x = 120-30
15x = 90
x = 90/15
x = 6
Or we could have the steps like this
15(x+2) = 120
x+2 = 120/15
x+2 = 8
x = 8-2
x = 6
Answer:
Nancy fits the equation.
Step-by-step explanation:
I think they're asking which gorilla fits the equation.
2b - 15 = 605
<em>Add 15 to both sides</em>
2b=620
<em>Divide both sides by 2</em>
b=310
The only gorilla who weighs 310 pounds is Nancy.
Answer:
y = 2x - 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Find the slope. You find the slope by using the formula y2-y1/x2-x1. (2, 1) and (4, 5) are our points. Let's find our values.
y2= 5
y1= 1
x2 = 4
x1 = 2
Plug in the numbers into the equation. 5 - 1 is 4. 4 - 2 is 2. 4/2 is 2. There. Our slope is 2.
Step 2: Find the b value. Keep in mind that an equation in point-slope form is y = mx + b, where m = the slope, and b = the y-intercept. For this part, you will plug in one of the points as x and y to find the b value. let's use point (4, 5)
The equation then becomes 5 = 2(4) + b. As we know, 2 * 4 is 8. Subtract 8 on both sides of the equation to cancel out the right side and isolate the b variable. 5 - 8 is -3. Even if you use the other point for the equation (1 = 2(2) +b), you should get the same answer of -3.
