The value of angle a will be 33°.

It should be noted that when we've parallel lines, then the angles will be equal. In this case, the value of angle a will be equal to that of angle b and this will be:

5x + 8 = 8x - 7.

Collect like terms .

8x - 5x = 8 + 7

3x = 15

Divide both side by 3

3x/3 = 15/3

x = 5

Therefore, the value of angle a will be:

= 5x + 8

= 5(5) + 8

= 25° + 8°

= 33°

The measure of angle a is 33°.

Solve for m.<br><br> -5m = -35<br> m = <br> please exsplain your answer theroly
andrew-mc [135]
Simple,

so you have...

-5m=-35

You are trying to find m, so, to isolate the variable divide both sides by -5:

\frac{-5m}{-5} = \frac{-35}{-5}

m=7

Now, to check your work, plug in m.

-5(7)=-35

-35=-35

Thus, you know your answer is correct.

matrenka [14]

Answer:

41%

Step-by-step explanation:

1200-850=350

350 is the markup, now we need the percentage

the orginal price was 850 so we just need to divide 350 by 850

we get 0.4117...

convert that to a percentage and we have 41% markup
