Answer:
x = 35.4
Step-by-step explanation:
Sum of all interior angles in a triangle = 180°
Therefore:
(x + 2)° + (2x + 2)° + (2x - 1)° = 180°
x + 2 + 2x + 2 + 2x - 1 = 180
Collect like terms
x + 2x + 2x + 2 + 2 - 1 = 180
5x + 3 = 180
Subtract 3 from each side
5x + 3 - 3 = 180 - 3
5x = 177
Divide both sides by 5
5x/5 = 177/5
x = 35.4
Hint: There are several ways to proceed in this kind of problems, but usually the simplest and the one that will yield the most success on average is substituting.
Look at y variable and the expressions to which it is equal; substitute the easier-looking one in the more complicated.
Applying this, we get: 2x+2=x^2+3x-4
x^2+x-6=0.
Solving this equation of 2nd degree, we have a=1, b=1, c=-6 and we get Δ=25 and the solutions are -3 and 2. Hence, we get that the only possible values for x are -3 and 2.
To get the solutions, we have to also find the corresponding y-values:
For x=-3, y=2x+2=-4. For x=2, y=6.
Hence, the 2 pairs of solutions are: (-3,-4) and (2,6)
Answer:

(sorry if its not right I havent done this kind of math in like 3-5 years lol)
Answer:
$7,500
Step-by-step explanation:
The correct answer is:
Money needed from commission: $2,500 - $1,000 = $1,500
Percent equation: $1,500 = m × .20
Total merchandise to sell: $1,500 ÷ .20 = $7,500
