Answer:

7x-8=20         or          x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say the certain number is x

7x-8=20

Add 8 on both sides:

7x-8+8=20+8

Simplify:

7x=28

Divide 7 on both sides:

\frac{7x}{7}=\frac{28}{7}

Simplify:

x=4

Find the measure of angle A
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

21 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Triangles have a total angle of 180 degrees.

This makes our equation:

3x+3+4x+135=180

Subtract 135 from both sides and combine like terms

7x + 3 = 45

Subtract 3 from both sides

7x = 42

Divide both sides by 7

x = 6

Plugging the number in:

3x + 3 =

3(6) + 3 =

21

A box contains 8 green balls, 16 red balls, 10 white balls, and 6 pink balls.
Pepsi [2]
The probability of drawing a white ball is 1/4

Explanation:
When we solve for probability, we want to find out how many of something there is out of its total. So in this case, we want to see how many white balls there are out of the totals balls in the box. We already know that there are 10 white balls, so we need to figure out the total balls in the box, by adding up. 8 green balls + 16 red balls + 10 white balls + 6 pink balls = 40 balls in total. Now we know that the fraction would be 10/40, as there are 10 white balls out of 40 total balls. Finally, we simplify the fraction to 1/4, therefore the answer is B.
