Answer:

B.

Step-by-step explanation:

If x is a number, then twice a number is 2x. The difference between 17 and 2x is 17-2x.

Common Error:

A. says 17 less than twice a number. Since it is 17 less, it is 2x-17 not 17-2x.

Hope this answer helped! :)

If angle ASE measures 168. Find the measure of the angle DSE. The Figure may not be drawn to scale?
SpyIntel [72]
Alrighty, so, without the picture and the clues given I'm going to assume the image you have looks like two angles coming from the middle of a straight line. A straight line is equal to 180 degrees. 180 degrees minus 168 degrees equals 12.

Melons cost $20 pet Crate, and apples cost $8 per create. an order comes in for a total of 48 crates for $420. what was the numb
Alika [10]

Answer:

The number of melon was 3 and the number of apples was 45.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Melons cost $20 per crate and apples cost $8 per create. If the total was 48 crates for $420, you can make the following system of equations, where x is the number of melons and y is the number of apples:

\left \{ {{x+y=48} \atop {20x+8y=420}} \right.

2. By applying the Method of substitution, you can solve for y in the first equation and substitute it into the second one to find x. Then, you can substitute the value of x into the first equation to find y:

y=48-x

20x+8(48-x)=420\\20x+384-8x=420\\12x=36\\x=3

3+y=48\\y=45
