Answer:

$a=6$

Step-by-step explanation:

$-6(2+a)=-48\\-6*2 = -12\\-6*a = -6a\\\rightarrow -12-6a=-48\\-12+12-6a=-48+12\\\rightarrow-6a=-36\\\frac{-6a}{-6}=\frac{-36}{-6} \\\boxed {a=6}$

-12 -6a =-48
-6a= -48 +12
-6a= -36
Divise both sides by -6
A= 6

For 3 days....

option 1 : 25(3) + 0.10m = 75 + 0.10m
option 2 : 60(3) = 180

180 < 75 + 0.10m
180 - 75 < 0.10m
105 < 0.10m
105 / 0.10 < m
1050 < m.....this is minutes, we need hrs
1050/60 < m
17.5 < m.......the guest would have to spend more then 17.5 hrs

Find the measure of angle X.

densk [106]

Answer:

x = 23 degrees

Because if you look at diagram x is vertical to angle FBC, and angle FEC and angle EBA are alternate interior angles so they are equal to each other, and AC is a straight line which means it equals to 180 degrees.

$4x+65+x = 180$
