Answer:
x = 17
Step-by-step explanation:
Line l and m are two parallel lines cut across by the transversal line, therefore, the angle measuring 53° and (8x - 9)° are interior angles on the same side. Interior angles on the same side are supplementary.
Therefore:
53° + (8x - 9)° = 180°
Solve for x
53 + 8x - 9 = 180
Collect like terms
53 - 9 + 8x = 180
44 + 8x = 180
Subtract 44 from both sides
44 + 8x - 44 = 180 - 44
8x = 136
Divide both sides by 8
8x/8 = 136/8
x = 17
I believe it would be the second option....
The 30% off is $82.50 cheaper. Which would be $192.50
Let x be the no of boxes.
120x = 14501
x = 14501/120
Upon division the quotient +1 = The no of boxes required and
The remainder is the amount of popcorn in the last box
No of boxes = 121 boxes
Kernels in the last box = 101 kernels
