Answer:

x = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Vertical angles are congruent, so ...

∠B = ∠A

4x -17 = 3x -8

x = 9 . . . . . . . . . . . add 17-3x to both sides

x = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

In the question we have given that ∠A and angle∠B are vertical angles. And the value of angle ∠A = ( 3 x - 8 ) and angle ∠B = ( 4 x - 17 ).

Finding the value of x

∠B = ∠A. (Both are vertical angle so, both are equal to each other).

Substitute the values

4 x - 17 = 3 x - 8

Add 17 - 3 x to each side

4 x - 17 + 17 - 3 x = 3 x - 8 + 17 - 3 x

combine like terms

4 x + 0 - 3 x = 3 x - 3 x - 8 + 17

x = 0 + 9

x = 9

Marina bought 4 notebooks, which cost b dollars each and 3 pens, which cost c dollars each. How much money did Marina spend?

rewona [7]

i'm sorry but can you put in more details as to what each item costs, if it is just variables then it should be something like b times the amount bought plus c times the amount bought. without the costs i cannot actually give you how much she spent

Answer:

=35

Step-by-step explanation:

3(3) ^2 + 2(4)

= 3(9) + 8

= 35

Where you see a, substitute with 3 and where you see b, substitute with 4

Just follow the steps above.

What is the sum of the interior angles of the polygon shown below

DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

720 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the interior angles of a convex polygon with n sides is

180(n - 2) degrees.

In this case, n = 6 sides, so the angle sum is

180(6 - 2) = 180(4) = 720 degrees.

The reason this works is that if you draw a diagonal from one vertex to the others (see attached image), you get 2 fewer triangles than the number of sides. Each triangle contains a total of 180 degrees, so the total of all the interior angles is 180(n - 2).
