The way to do this mathematically is by incorporating the Order of Operations.(Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally) This stands for (do first:) Parenthesis, then exponents, after that multiplication, now division, then addition, and finally subtraction. The side on the right then equals -5 while the side on the right equals -6. The greater value is the left side. If you have any other questions, just ask me!
A=12
120% of a =80% of b
120%a = 80%b
120a/100 = 80b/100
Divide through by 100
120a = 80b
Divide through by 80
120a/80 = b
But a=12
120x 12/80 = b
18 = b
b = 18
a+b = 12 + 18 = 30
Answer:
Correct choice is B
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x% be your final test score, then the average of all test scores is

Since you must have an average between 80% and 89%, then

X is measured in percent, then the greatest value of x can be 100%. You get that

1.8 - 0.2x = -1.6 Subtract 1.8 on both sides
1.8 - 1.8 - 0.2x = -1.6 - 1.8
-0.2x = -3.4 Divide -0.2 on both sides

x = 17
Answer:
w=67°
Step-by-step explanation:
First you solve for x. 12x+11=x. X would be 1. Then you plug in 1 for x and add the w to the equation. 12(1)+11+w=90. after solving that you will get the total for w. which should be 67°
