She had 18 to start with because when you multiply 4 by 2 it’s 8, so then you add 8 to 10 which is 18.
Answer:
There are 25 reindeers and 17 snowbirds
Step-by-step explanation:
A reindeer has 4 legs while a snowbird has two legs
Let the number of reindeer be x while the number of snowbirds is y
Total heads is 42;
x + y = 42 •••••••(i)
let’s now count the legs
4(x) + 2(y) = 134
4x + 2y = 134 ••••••(ii)
divide ii by 2
2x + y = 67
y = 67 - 2x
and from i above too, y = 42-x
equate the y
67-2x = 42-x
67-42 = -x + 2x
x = 25
y = 42-x
y = 42-25
y = 17
The measure of the supplement angle is 63°
Step-by-step explanation:
If two angles are supplementary then the sum of their measures is 180°
The given is:
- Two supplementary angles
- One of them is 9 less than twice its supplement
We need to find the measure of the supplement
∵ The two angles are supplementary
∴ The sum of their measure is 180°
Assume that the measure of the supplement angle is x°
∵ An angle is 9 less than twice its supplement
- twice means times 2 and 9 less means subtract 9
∵ The measure of the supplement is x°
∴ The measure of the angle = (2x - 9)°
∵ The sume of the measures of the two angles = 180°
∴ (2x - 9)° + x° = 180°
- Add like terms
∴ (2x + x) - 9 = 180
∴ 3x - 9 = 180
- Add 9 to both sides
∴ 3x = 189
- Divide both sides by 3
∴ x = 63°
The measure of the supplement angle is 63°

Answer:
x = -3.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplifying
0.4x + 2.9 = 1.5
Reorder the terms:
2.9 + 0.4x = 1.5
Solving
2.9 + 0.4x = 1.5
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-2.9' to each side of the equation.
2.9 + -2.9 + 0.4x = 1.5 + -2.9
Combine like terms: 2.9 + -2.9 = 0.0
0.0 + 0.4x = 1.5 + -2.9
0.4x = 1.5 + -2.9
Combine like terms: 1.5 + -2.9 = -1.4
0.4x = -1.4
Divide each side by '0.4'.
x = -3.5
Simplifying
x = -3.5
