1. Let x be the original amount of baseball cards,
2. half of x was lost so x divided by 2.
3. you buy 18 cards to replace some that were lost
4. You can find the awnser by subtracting 18 from 30, which is 12.
5. Now lets remember that half of your cards were lost. meaning that 12 is only half of what you started with.
6. 12 times 2 would be 24.
7. The Awnser is 24
8. To check your work, you can say x=24, 24 divided by 2 is 12, and 12 plus 18 is 30.
Answer:
7 pages
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the total number of pages in the book are 16
The number of pages esteban already read are 9
Let the number of pages left out to read be x
Total number of pages = number of pages read + number of pages to be read
16=9+x
x=16-9
x=7 pages
Therefore There are 7 pages left out to be read.
The answer to 2 1/3 - 2/3 is 1 2/3
Answer: x=9
Step-by-step explanation:
The bottom triangle that has a 40° is an isosceles triangle, therefore the other angle at the bottom right is also 40°. This leaves the top angle to be 100°.
180=40+40+x
180=80+x
x=100
Now, to find ∠2, you can tell it is a supplementary angle. Therefore, the 2 angles add up to 180°
180-100=∠2
80°=∠2
The problem states that ∠2 is 9x-1. We know that ∠2 is 80°. We can solve for x.
80=9x-1
81=9x
x=9
