The measure of angle b would 68 because the word complementary means that the angles would have to add to 90 so 90-22=68 hope this helps! :)
Amy: x skirts
Betty: 2x skirts
Carol: (2x) + 7 skirts
If Amy has 18 less than Carol, than Carol's equation minus 18 equals Amy's equation:
[(2x) + 7] - 18 = x
+18 +18
(2x) + 7 = x + 18
- 7 -7
2x = x + 11
-x -x
x = 11
Input the solution for x into the girls equation to double check.
Amy: 11
Betty: 2(x)
2(11)
=22
Carol: (2x) + 7
22 + 7
=29
Does Amy have 18 less than Carol?
Carol - Amy = 18
29 - 11 = 18
18 = 18
the problem is solved
Answer:
A. $4
4/20 or 1/5
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
(C) 4|5 -2x| > 68
Step-by-step explanation:
You can solve each of the inequalities to see if their solutions match the given numbers, or you can start with the given numbers and see what sort of inequality you end up with.
If you plot the given "solution" on a number line, you find that the numbers -6 and 11 are the same distance from x=2.5. That distance is 8.5 units. (One way to deterimine this is to average -6 and 11, then subtract that average from 11 to find the distance.
So, we can write an inequality describing values of x that are more than 8.5 units from 2.5:
|x -2.5| > 8.5
and it will have the solution x < -6 or x > 11.
Multiplying this by 2, it can become ...
|2x -5| > 17
Of course, since the absolute value function doesn't care whether its argument is positive or negative, we can also write this as ...
|5 -2x| > 17
This tells you right away which answer choice is appropriate. Further confirmation can be had by multiplying this by 4:
4|5 -2x| > 68 . . . . . . matches selection C
<u>Rectangle</u>
3 * 8 = 24
<u>Triangle</u>
4 * 3 = 12
12 / 2 = 6
Now add those two areas together, and you get 30
