Answer:

z = 94

x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle with a measure of 94° and the angle labeled "z" are vertical angles

Vertical angles are congruent ( equal to each other )

Which means that because "z"s vertical angle = 94° z also equals 94°

The angle labeled with the expression ( 12x + 2 ) and the angle with a measure of 94° are supplementary angles

Supplementary angles add up to equal 180

Hence, 94 + 12x + 2 = 180

^ (Note that this is the equation we will use to solve for x )

Now we solve for x

94 + 12x + 2 = 180

step 1 combine like terms

94 + 2 = 96

we now have 180 = 96 + 12x

step 2 subtract 96 from each side

180 - 96 = 84

96 - 96 cancels out

we now have 84 = 12x

step 3 divide each side by 12

84 / 12 = 7

12x / 12 = x

we're left with x = 12

Evaluate the expression 2n - 6 if n = 16.

V125BC [204]

Answer:

$26$

Step-by-step explanation:

$2n-6$

Given that:

$n=16$

To evaluate the expression, we must simply substitute the given value of $n$ , which is $16$ , for $n$ :

$2(16)-6$

Multiply:

$32-6$

Subtract:

$26$

To check your work, simply set the given expression equal to our solution, $26$ :

$2n-6=26$

Add $6$ to both sides of the equation:

$2n=32$

Divide both sides of the equation by the coefficient of $n$ , which is $2$ :

$n=16$

Since it matches the given value of $n$ , our solution is correct!

A town's employment statistics show that 855 of its residents were unemployed last month. This is a decrease of 25% from the pre

Leona [35]

Decrease of 25% means only 855 people? Okay, so you want to backtrack. If you divide by 25% you’re going to get what it was for a 75% decrease. So divide by .75 instead. 855/.75 = 1140 unemployed residents last month

The greatest integer that satisfies the inequality 1.6−(3−2y)<5

Cerrena [4.2K]

Solve the inequality 1.6-(3-2y)<5.

1. Rewrite this inequality without brackets:

1.6-3+2y<5.

2. Separate terms with y and without y in different sides of inequality:

2y<5-1.6+3,

2y<6.4.

3. Divide this inequality by 2:

y<3.2

4. The greatest integer that satisfies this inequality is 3.

Answer: 3.
