Answer:

Smaller = x

Larger = 3x -1

Remember "is" is the keyword for equals in a word problem.

3(3x -1) = 5 + 8x

9x - 3 = 5 + 8x

x = 8 smaller

larger = 23

For a school fundraiser students are selling snack bags and candy bars to raise money on Wednesday the students or 23 snack bags
meriva

Answer:

$1.75

Step-by-step explanation:

The selling for each candy bar may be determined by  a set of linear equations. This pair of linear equations may be solved simultaneously by using the elimination method. This will involve ensuring that the coefficient of one of the unknown variables is the same in both equations.

It may be solved by substitution in that one of the variable is made the subject of the equation and the result is substituted into the second equation .

Let the cost of a snack bag be s and that of a candy bar be c, then if on Wednesday the students or 23 snack bags and 36 candy bars that raised $114.75 on Thursday the seventh so 37 snack bags and 36 candy bars that raised $146.25

23s + 36c = 114.75

37s + 36c = 146.25

14s = 31.5

s = $2.25

23(2.25) + 36c = 114.75

36c = 114.75 - 51.75

36c = 63

c = 63/36

= $1.75

An angle bisector is a line or ray that divides an angle into two congruent angles
so
in this problem
m∠RST=m∠RSV+m∠VST
m∠RSV=m∠VST
hence
m∠RST=2*m∠RSV --------> equation 1
we have
m∠RST=(6x-24)
m∠RSV=(2x+8)
Substitute in the equation 1
6x-24=2*(2x+8)
6x-24=4x+16
6x-4x=16+24
2x=40
x=40/2
x=20 degrees
therefore
the value of x is 20 degrees
