Answer:

x = 11.4

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the angles of any triangle must add up to 180°.  Since we have the expressions for each angle:  5x, 8x, and (2x +9), we can solve for the variable of 'x' by adding the expressions together and setting them equal to 180:

5x + 8x + (2x +9) = 180

Combine like terms:  15x + 9 = 180

Use inverse operations: 15x + 9 - 9 = 180 - 9

                                                     15x = 171  or x = 11.4

Check:  5(11.4) + 8(11.4) + 2(11.4) + 9 = 57 + 91.2 + 22.8 + 9 = 180

<h3>Answer: Choice B)   3:1</h3>

=============================================================

Explanation:

Consider a very small town of only 4 people.

If 1 person bikes to work, then 1/4 = 0.25 = 25% of the population commutes by bicycle. We see that the remaining 4-1 = 3 people don't travel by bike.

The odds against selecting someone who uses their bike to get to work is 3:1 which is why the answer is choice B

We list the number of people we don't want first, and then the number of people we do want (those who use a bike). A colon separates the two values to form the odds ratio.

We can say "3:1" as "3 to 1". It means we're 3 times more likely to select someone we don't want vs someone we do want. The odds are against the bike person which is why the value we don't want is listed first.

In contrast, if your teacher asked "what are the odds in favor of selecting someone who commutes by bicycle?" then the answer would be 1:3. We simply swap the positions of what we set up earlier.

The cost to manufacture t shirts can be represented by the function c(x)=10.5x complete the following statement about the functi
Advocard [28]

For this case we have:

Cost of manufactures of T-shirts C(x)=10.5x

where x represents the number of T-shirts

Part A:

Substituting x = 8 in the total cost equation you have to:

C (8) = (10.5) (8)\\\\C (8) = 84\\

Thus, the cost of 8 shirts will be C (8) = 84\\

Part B:

If x = 12 then

C (12) = (10.5) (12)\\\\C (12) = 126\\

Thus, the cost of 12 shirts will be C (12) = 126\\

Answer:

C (8) = 84\\\\C (12) = 126\\\\
