Answer:

x = 8

base angle = 81 deg

Step-by-step explanation:

we observe that because the given triangle is a isosceles triangle, the base angles must be the same.

Hence the missing base angle must also be (10x+1)°

recall that all internal angles of an triangle must add up to 180 deg,

hence

180° = sum of all internal angles

180° = 18° + (10x+1)° + (10x+1)°

180° = 18° + 2(10x+1)° (subtracting 18 from both sides)

180 - 18 = 2(10x+1)

162 = 2(10x+1) dividing both sides by 2)

162 / 2 = 10x + 1

81 = 10x + 1 (subtracting 1 from both sides)

81 - 1 = 10x

10x = 80 (divide both sides by 10)

x = 80/10

x = 8 (answer)

substituting x = 8 into the expression for the base angle

base angle = (10x+1)

= 10(8) + 1

= 10 + 1

= 81

PLEASE HELP QUICK!!!! What is the degree of 7x^6 - 6x^5 + 2x^3 + x - 8? A. 8 B. 7 C. 5 D. 6

antiseptic1488 [7]

For determining the correct degree of a polynomial, you need to look at each term and find the degree by adding the exponents of each variable in it. The largest degree is the degree of the polynomial.

7x^6 has largest degree of the given polynomial, so your answer is D.6

Jonah is going to the store to buy candles for his igloo. Small candles cost $3.50 and large candles cost $5.00. He needs to buy

Semmy [17]

Answer:

$x+y\geq 20$

$3.50x+5.00y\leq 80$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent number of small candles and y represent number of large candles.

We have been given that Jonah needs to buy at least 20 candles. This means number of small and large candles should be greater than or equal to 20. We can represent this information in an inequality as:

$x+y\geq 20...(1)$

We are also told that small candles cost $3.50, so cost of x small candles would be $3.50x$ .

Since large candles cost $5.00, so cost of y large candles would be $5.00y$ .

We are told that Jonah cannot spend more than $80, this means cost of x small candles and y large candles should be less than or equal to $80. We can represent this information in an inequality as:

$3.50x+5.00y\geq 80$

Therefore, our required system of inequalities would be:

$x+y\geq 20$

$3.50x+5.00y\leq 80$

Mindy and Troy combined ate 99 pieces of the wedding cake. Mindy ate 3 pieces of cake and Troy had 1/4 of the total cake.

Allushta [10]

It doesn't give the entire question, Do they want to know how many pieces were in the total cake? If so, I think it would be 384. You subtract the 3 pieces that Mindy ate and that leaves 96 that Tony had which was supposed to be 1/4 of the cake. Dividing the cake into 4 sections of 96 and multiplying would give you 384.

If they want to know how many slices of cake were left after Tony ate the fourth (96 slices), it would be 288
