Answer:

The number is 9.

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets write this as an equation first. We'll substitute the number for the variable x.

80 - 3x = 5x + 8

First, let's add 3x to both sides.

80 - 3x + 3x = 5x + 3x + 8

80 = 8x + 8

Next, let's subtract 8 from both sides.

80 - 8 = 8x + 8 - 8

72 = 8x

Finally, let's divide both sides by 8.

72/8 = 8x/8

9 = x

"x" is 9.

So the secret number is 9.

Courtney must earn at least $150 to pay for broken window. She earns $10 for every car she washes.

valkas [14]

Answer:

10c ≥ 150

At least 15 cars (or c ≥ 15)

Step-by-step explanation:

If she gets $10 for every car she washes a car then 10c is the rate of her gaining money and she needs at least (greater than or equal to) $150.

This equation can be used to express the situation:

10c ≥ 150

To solve you divide the 10 from both sides of the inequality to get.

c ≥ 15

Given the triangle below, which of the following is a correct statement?

EleoNora [17]

ANSWER

(A)csc angle C equals 3 over 2

EXPLANATION

The cosecant is hypotenuse over opposite.

$\csc(C) = \frac{6}{4}$

$\csc(C) = \frac{3}{2}$

$\csc(B) = \frac{6}{5}$

The secant is the hypotenuse over adjacent.

$\sec(C)=\frac{6}{5}$

$\sec(B) = \frac{6}{4}$

$\sec(B) = \frac{3}{2}$

The only correct choice is A
