Answer:
A) Protractor
Step-by-step explanation:
In Mathematics, geometric constructions refers to the drawing of geometric shapes, lines and angles with the exclusive aid of a pencil, straightedge/ruler and a pair of compass.
The pencil is the major drawing tool during the construction while the pair of compass and straightedge are used to construct arcs/circles and straight lines respectively. Note that, a PROTRACTOR is not needed in a geometric construction because length or angle measurements are prohibited.
The variable for Maggie will be M and 2x-3 be her younger brothers age (<u>Twice her age). </u>We then would turn this into <u>an algebraic problem</u>. (m+2x -3=24).
3x-3=24, we would add 3 to both sides (-3 and 24). 24 + 3 equals 27, we now have to divide -3x and 27 on both sides, which equals <u>9. (x=9)</u>
Answer: x = 24
Step-by-step explanation:
9x - 18 = 7x + 30
9x - 7x = 30 + 18
2x = 48
x = 48/2 = 24
4x=20
4/4x=20/4
x=5
u want to isolate the variable to solve these equations
