Answer:

580 seedlings altogether.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Ali plants 40% of the total number of seedlings, Ben plants 45% of the total number of seedlings, and Cliff plants the rest of the seedlings. Cliff plants 87 seedlings.

The percentage of the seedling planted by Cliff = 100% - 45% - 40% = 15%

<em>Let x = the total number of seedlings</em>

<em />15\%\ of\ x=87\\\\x=\dfrac{87\times 100}{15}\\\\x=580

Hence, three boys plant 580 seedlings altogether.

Can someone help me solve for x on number 18 and explain how you did it thank you ;)
torisob [31]

Answer:

x = 19°

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that < (6x + 1)° + < (3x + 8)° are supplementary angles whose sum = 180°

6x + 1 + 3x + 8 = 180°

Add common terms:

9x + 9 = 180°

Subtract 9 from both sides:

9x + 9 - 9 = 180° - 9

9x = 171°

Divide both sides by 9 to solve for x:

\frac{9x}{9} = \frac{171}{9}

x = 19°
