Solving for x.
Add by to both sides
Ax=c+by
Divide both sides by a
x=c+by
-------
a
(A) For x representing the cost of one of Tanya's items, her total purchase cost 5x. The cost of one of Tony's items is then (x-1.75) and the total of Tony's purchase is 6(x-1.75). The problem statement tells us these are equal values. Your equation is ...
... 5x = 6(x -1.75)
(B) Subtract 5x, simplify and add the opposite of the constant.
... 5x -5x = 6x -6·1.75 -5x
... 0 = x -10.50
... 10.50 = x
(C) 5x = 5·10.50 = 52.50
... 6(x -1.75) = 6·8.75 = 52.50 . . . . . the two purchases are the same value
(D) The individual cost of Tanya's iterms was $10.50. The individual cost of Tony's items was $8.75.
In general, the sum of the measures of the interior angles of a quadrilateral is 360. This is true for every quadrilateral. This does not help here, because there are two angles (angles B and D) we know nothing about. We only know about opposite angles A and C.
In this case, you can use another theorem.
Opposite angles of an inscribed quadrilateral are supplementary.
m<A + m<C = 180
3x + 6 + x + 2 = 180
4x + 8 = 180
4x = 172
x = 43
m<A = 3x + 6 = 3(43) + 6 = 135
Answer: 135 deg
Answer:
Answer is 256 degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
You basically take the degree that they gave you, which is 104, now take 360 (that's the measurement of the whole circle) and subtract it by 104 to get your answer.
