<h3>Answer: C) 12</h3>

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

Explanation:

Refer to the diagram below. I'm using the points A,B,C,D,E to help label the triangles, and to label the angles as well.

For now, let's focus on triangle DEC.

The top most angle is given as D = 65. Note how the angles D and E are opposite the congruent lines (marked with the red single tickmarks). This means that angles D and E are congruent to one another. So E = 65 as well. This is shown in the diagram below.

For now we don't know what angle C is, so we'll call it y. More specifically, we'll make y the measure of angle DCE.

For any triangle, the three angles always add to 180

y+65+65 = 180

y+130 = 180

y = 180-130

y = 50

So angle DCE is 50 degrees.

-------------------------------

Now we move onto triangle ABC.

Because angles DCE and ACB are vertical angles, this makes angle ACB 50 degrees also. Effectively, anywhere you see a 'y' in the diagram below, replace it with 50.

So triangle ABC has the three angles y = 50, y = 50 and 7x-4

We can solve for x like so

y+y+(7x-4) = 180

50+50+(7x-4) = 180

7x+96 = 180

7x = 180-96

7x = 84

x = 84/7

x = 12

This points to choice C as the final answer.

Daniel [21]

Answer:

The player will not make the team.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the percentage he is shooting, divide the number he has made by the number he has taken.

9/15 = 60%

60% is less than the needed 65%

Help me graph these linear programs
Ulleksa [173]
Change all of the equations to standard form, then place the number without the variable (y-intercept) on the correct spot on the graph for example the number 6 would be graphed on the top (positive) y-axis. Then when your finished doing that place the number with the variable or just the individual variable as a slope form (rise over run) on the graph, ex: if your slope was 4x you would rise 4 then move to the right 1 bc its 4/1. Your all set.
