Leah needs to buy some apples from the grocery store. She places fifteen apples in her cart and proceeds to the checkout. Lucky for her, there happens to be a discount on apples for the day. She saves $25 on her purchase. The total money she ends up spending was only $35 (excluding tax). How much did each apple cost?
-11-(-7)
-11+7
Your answer is -4
X-6=36
x=42
Hope that helps
Answers:
- angle1 = 156 degrees
- angle2 = 24 degrees
=======================================================
Explanation:
The two angles form a straight line, which is 180 degrees
Add up the angle expressions and set the sum equal to 180.
(angle1) + (angle2) = 180
(4x) + (x-15) = 180
(4x+x)-15 = 180
5x-15 = 180
5x = 180+15
5x = 195
x = 195/5
x = 39
We use that x value to find each missing angle
- angle1 = 4x = 4*39 = 156 degrees
- angle2 = x-15 = 39-15 = 24 degrees
Then notice how angle1+angle2 = 156+24 = 180 to verify the answer.
Side note: Angles that add to 180 are considered supplementary.
