Answer:
x = 20
Step-by-step explanation:
The 2 angles are vertical and congruent, thus
10x - 27 = 8x + 13 ( subtract 8x from both sides )
2x - 27 = 13 ( add 27 to both sides )
2x = 40 ( divide both sides by 2 )
(8x+13)=(10x-27) being vertically opposite triangles.
Now take the 8 to the next side and minus it by 10x which means 10x-8x, the answer is 2x
Then, do with 27 and 13 also and whatever the answer comes it will be divided by 2, so that is the value of x
0.45454545454, also known as 0.45 repeated
<u>Anna:</u>
1st month = 18 + = 18 inches
2nd month = 18 + = 19
3rd month = 19 + = 20
4th month = 20 + = 21
5th month = 21 + = 21
<u>Grace:</u>
Because Anna is inches shorter than Grace, we can start the count from the third month:
1st month = 20
2nd month = 21
3rd month = 21
4th month = 21 + = 22
5th month = 22 + = 23
