Answer:
8 pencils
Step-by-step explanation:
We can reverse everything that is happening in the problem like this!...
Jeremiah has 20 - 4 pencils = 16 than 2 reverse operation of multiplication which will be division then 16 ÷ 2 = 8
Check work? 8 more than 2 times equals 16 + 4 more that Jeremiah has equals 20 pencils
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
The function is 
for
, we will check the values of
and 
Take 3 and 4

Similarly,

Thus, 
Also,
is 1 i.e. a constant value. So, the function is increasing linearly for the given interval.
Answer: choice B, 40.5 degrees
The triangle is isosceles based on the fact that AC = BC (the tick marks are the same). The angles opposite the congruent sides are also congruent
angle A = angle B = x for some unknown number x
The three angles A,B,C add to 180, so,
A+B+C = 180
x+x+99 = 180
2x+99 = 180
2x = 180-99
2x = 81
x = 81/2
x = 40.5
So angle A and angle B are both 40.5 degrees
Check:
A+B+C = 180
40.5+40.5+99 = 180
180 = 180 answer is confirmed
==============================
Edit
The sides with the two tick marks are the same length, so 7x-4 is the same as length as 31
7x-4 = 31
7x = 31+4
7x = 35
x = 35/7
x = 5
Answer is choice B) 5
