Answer:
11
Step-by-step explanation:
So you first start off with 24, then you add 8 cards and take away 12 + 9 cards, making the equation:
24 + 8 - (12 + 9)
= 32 - 21
= 11
Add 2500G and 1250G and you get 3750
divide by 6 and you get 625
answer 625
Do it on a scientific calculator
I used a somewhat unorthodox method for this but here goes...
First find the bottom left angle of the triangle which equals 180 - 108 because they are a linear pair and linear pairs always add to equal 180 degrees.
Next I used the postulate that states "If two parralel lines are cut by a transversal, then there alternate interior angles are congruent". The bottom right exterior angle of this triangle equals 4x, which means the other side of the transversal equals 4x as well. I also know the exterior on the left side of the triangle excluding the vertex (x) equals 72, which we figured out in the first step.
4x = 72 + x
Next subtract x from both sides.
3x = 72
Then divide both sides by 3.
3/3 x = 72/3
And there's your answer.
x = 24
Hope this helps, sorry if it was a little confusing.
