Answer: x = 108
Step-by-step explanation: In this problem, we're given a diagram and
we're asked to find the value of x that would make m ll n.
We can see that the angles that are marked in the diagram
are same-side interior angles since they lie on the same side
of the transversal and they lie on the interior of lines m and n.
Therefore, in order for line m to be parallel to line n,
these angles must be supplementary.
In other words, they must add to 180 degrees.
So we can setup the equation x + 72 = 180.
Subtracting 72 from both sides gives us x = 108.
So the value of x that would make line m ll n is 108.
Answer:
500
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the original price
Take the first discount
x - 18 percent
x - .18x = new price
x( 1-.18)
x ( .82) = new price
Now we take a 20 percent discount
This is on the discounted price, use .82x
.82x - 20 percent= 2nd discounted price
.82x - .20(.82x)
.82x -.164x
.656x= 2nd discounted price
.656x = 328
Divide each side by.656
.656x/.656 = 328/.656
x =500
The original price was 500
The next larger whole number is 638 .
The next smaller whole number is 637 .
637.892 is closer to 638 than it is to 637 .
The nearest whole number is 638 .
