Answer:

x = 26 2/3

y = 50

Step-by-step explanation:

you could set '2y-3x' equal to '-3x+y+50' because they are vertical angles

2y - 3x = -3x + y + 50

add 3x to each side to get:

2y = y + 50

y = 50

also, we know that (1/2y + 25) + (2y - 3x) = 180 because they form a straight line

3/2y + 25 - 3x = 180

subtract 25 from each side to get:

3/2y - 3x = 155

substitute 50 for 'y' to get:

3/2(50) - 3x = 155

75 - 3x = 155

-3x = 80

x = 26 2/3

Joshua's family took a road trip to Mount Rushmore. Joshua fell asleep 35% of the way through the trip. If the total length of t

You need to calculate 35% of 400.

The way I do this on paper is I split it up into chunks and then add the chunks together.

First I would calculate 10%. To do this, divide 400 by 10, because to get from 100% to 10% you must divide by 10.

So 10% = 40

You need 30%, so you just multiply by 3, because to get from 10% to 30%, you multiply by 3.

So 30% = 120

5% is half of 10% so half of 40 is 20.

So 5% = 20

30% + 5% = 35%

120 + 20 = 140

So they had traveled 140 miles when Joshua fell asleep. Hope this helps :)
