What is the value of H?
Rasek [7]

Answer:

55

Step-by-step explanation:

Because the base is a straight line, each of the unknown angles in the triangle are 180 - 2h. This means that 360 - 4h + 40 = 180, so 400 - 4h = 180.

Now subtract -4h + 180 from both sides to get 220 = 4h so h = 55.

When Imani walks to school, it takes her one less minute than five times the amount of time it takes her to ride her bike to sch
zmey [24]

The numerical expression that describes the amount of time it takes Imani to walk to school is x = 5y - 1.

<h3>How do we derive a numerical expression?</h3>

Let:

x = amount of time it takes Imani to walk to school

y = amount of time it takes Imani to ride to school = 3 minutes

The numerical expression that describes the amount of time it takes Imani to walk to school can be written as follows:

x = 5y - 1

Since it takes Imani three minutes to ride her bike to school, we can solve for x by substituting y = 3 as follows:

x = (5 * 3) - 1 = 15 - 1 = 14 minutes
