Answer:
<h2>x = 3</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
∠QRT and ∠SRT are supplementary angles,
therefore m∠QRT + m∠SRT = 180°.
(45x)° + m∠SRT = 180° <em>subtract (45x)° from both sides</em>
m∠SRT = 180° - (45x)°
We know: the sum of the measures of the angles of the triangle is equal to 180 °. Therefore we have the equation:
(180 - 45x) + (57 + x) + 25x = 180 <em>combine like terms</em>
(-45x + x + 25x) + (180 + 57) = 180
-19x + 237 = 180 <em>subtract 237 from both sides</em>
-19x = -57 <em>divide both sides by (-19)</em>
x = 3

Answer:
- simplify parentheses
- evaluate the exponential term
- divide 40/8
- multiply 8*2
- add 5+9
- add 14+16
Step-by-step explanation:
40/8+3^2+(15-7)*2 . . . . given
The order of operations tells you to start by evaluating expressions in parentheses. Here, that is the subtraction of 7 from 15.
40/8 +3^2 +8*2 . . . . (15-7) = 8
Then you evaluate exponential terms.
40/8 +9 +8*2 . . . . . 3^2 = 9
Then perform multiplication and division, left to right. Here, division is first, then multiplication.
5 +9 +8*2 . . . . . divide 40/8 = 5
5 +9 +16 . . . . . . multiply 8*2 = 16
Finally, perform addition and subtraction, left to right.
14 +16 . . . . add 5+9
30 . . . . . . . add 14+16

Answer:
<em>Beck actually caught 45 fish</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>System of Equations</u>
We call the following variables:
x = number of fish Ally caught
y = number of fish Beck caught
They caught a total of 75 fish, thus:
x + y = 75 [1]
If Ally had caught twice as much fish as she actually did, and Beck had caught three times as many fish as he actually did, then Ally would have caught 75 fewer fish than Beck, thus:
3y = 2x + 75 [2]
From [1]:
x = 75 - y [3]
Substituting in [2]:
3y = 2(75 - y) + 75
Operating:
3y = 150 - 2y + 75
Simplifying:
5y = 225
Dividing by 5:
y = 45
Beck actually caught 45 fish
