Answer:

12 Pieces

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of candies in Jane's bag = x

she gives 8 to her friend;

x - 8

Then jane's grandmother buys 5 more pieces than jane had originally; add (x + 5)

x - 8 + x + 5

Now jane has 27 pieces of candy

x - 8 + x + 5 = 27

Solve for x;

x - 8 + x + 5 = 27

2x - 3 = 27

2x = 27 -3

2x = 24

x = 12

Please help if so thank you And explain

Answer:

x = 34°

Step-by-step explanation:

Given AC and BD are perpendicular bisectors, we can say that at point E, there are 4 right angles [perpendicular bisectors intersect to create 4 90 degree angles].

Now, if we look at the triangle AED, we know that it is a right triangle, meaning that angle E is a right angle.

Also,

We know sum of 3 angles in a triangle is 180 degrees. Thus, we can write:

∠A + ∠E + ∠D = 180

<em>Note: Angle A and Angle D are just the half part of the diagram. More exactly we can write:</em>

∠EAD + ∠ADE + ∠DEA = 180

Given,

∠EAD = 56

∠DEA = 90

We now solve:

∠EAD + ∠ADE + ∠DEA = 180

56 + ∠ADE + 90 = 180

146 + ∠ADE = 180

146 + x = 180

x = 180 - 146

x = 34°

There are 18 boys in a class there are w fewer boys than girls how many students are there in the class
Pachacha [2.7K]
The Number of boys in the class is: 18

 Let's call "g" to the number of girls in the class.

 The problem says that there is "w" fewer boys than girls, so we have:

 g-w=18

 Then, the number of girls in the class  is:

 g=18+w

 Let's call "x" to the total number of studens in the class:

 x=g+18

 When we substitute g=18+w  into x=g+18, we obtain:

 x= (18+w)+18

 The total number of studens in the class is:

 x=w+36
