Answer: The equation is given by: 9- 1/3x = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number be denoted by x.
Now, we are given a word phrase as follows one-third of a number less than nine is equal to seven.
Now this word phrase could be mathematically expressed as a equation by: one third of x is 1/3 x
And this number less than 9 is given by :
9- 1/3x
Now, this number is equal to 7.
I.e. we finally have:
9- 1/3x = 7
This is an isosceles triangle. Therefore, at the base we have congruent angles (look at the picture).
We have the equation:
(5x + 13)° + (3x + 7)° = 180°
5x + 13 + 3x + 7 = 180 <em>combine like terms</em>
(5x + 3x) + (13 + 7) = 180
8x + 20 = 180 <em>subtract 20 from both sides</em>
8x = 160 <em>divide both sides by 8</em>
<h3>x = 20</h3>
The vertical angles are congruent (or equal) so,
32 = 2x
2x = 32
2x/2 = 32/2 ..... dividing both sides by 2
x = 16 which is the answer
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
2. 9a +4c=43
a+c=7
The total tickets for adults and children = 7 (a+c =7) 7 people in all
price for adult = $9 (9a) Price per child =$4 (4c)
total price =$ 43
9a +7c = 43
