Answer:

x = 7.5

Step-by-step explanation:

So the equation looks like this:

2X -3 =12

So we are first going to get rid of -3 by adding 3 to both sides of the equal sign:

2X -3 = 12

    + 3   +3

SO the equation looks like this now:

2x = 15

Now we are going to segregate the variable x by dividing 2x and 15 by 2:

2x/2 = 15/2

x = 7.5

So in order to check our work we are going to substitute 7.5 where the x variable is in the equation:

2X -3 =12 or 2(7.5) - 3 = 12

2(7.5) - 3 = 12

15 - 3 = 12

12 = 12

So our answer to what the variable x equals is 7.5.

I hope this helps you!!

Answer:

x= 60°, y = 80°, z = 40°

Step-by-step explanation:

Look at the line substending 40° and Z°; you would see that both lines are parallel and so their angles are they the same.

Hence z= 40° { corresponding angles of parallel lines}

Similarly;

Look at the line substending 60° and x°; you would see that both lines are parallel and so their angles are they the same.

60° = x° { corresponding angles of parallel lines}

Now looking at the angle between x and y; let's call the angle between them r

And you would observe closely that r = z° = 40°{ vertically opposite angles are equal}

Note that x + r + y = 180°{ angle on a straight line}

y = 180° - ( x + r)

y = 180 - (60+40)

y = 180° - 100°

= 80°

After breaking your penny bank, you notice that you have $4.87 in quarters ($0.25), dimes ($0.10), nickels ($0.05), and pennies
ira [324]

Answer: Option 'c' is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of dimes  be 'x'.

Let the number of nickels  be '\dfrac{3}{2}x'.

Let the number of pennies be \dfrac{3}{2}\times 2x=3x

Let the number of quarters be '3x-34'.

As we know that

1 quarter = $0.25

1 dime = $0.10

1 nickel = $0.05

1 penny = $0.01

According to question, we get that

0.10x+0.05\times \dfrac{3x}{2}+0.01\times 3x+0.25(3x-34)=4.87\\\\0.10x+0.075x+0.03x+0.75x-8.5=4.87\\\\\\0.955x=4.87+8.5\\\\0.955x=13.37\\\\x=\dfrac{13.37}{0.955}\\\\x=14

So, the number of pennies is given by

3x=3\times 14=42

Hence, Option 'c' is correct.
