Answer:
D) 56 and 56
Step-by-step explanation:
we can see that in this case, the two given angle are actually alternate angles (see attached for reference)
Which means their values are the same, i.e
-8x+8 = -6x+20 (add 6x to both sides)
-8x + 8 + 6x = 20
-2x + 8 = 20 (subtract 8 from both sides)
-2x = 20 - 8
-2x = 12
x = -6 (substitute this back into either expression )
-8x+8
= -8(-6)+8
= 48+8
= 56 (answer)
We can do a sanity check by substituting x = -6 into the other equation and verify that both angles are indeed the same
-6x+20
= -6(-6)+20
=36+20
= 56 (same as other answer)

Step-by-step explanation:
We can convert from mixed numbers to decimal numbers:
Since they cleaned up 8.2 kilograms of trash in one neighborhood and 11.5 kilograms in another neighborhood, the total trash they cleaned up was:
We know that they sent 1.25 kilograms to be recycled. Then, in order to calculate how many kilograms of trash they threw away, we must subtract the total kilograms of trash they cleaned up and the kilograms they sent to be recycled.
