Answer:

Answer:

A. 1.2x = 78

B. x = 65

Step-by-step explanation:

Just informally, first:

x is the number that we don't know. 120% of that number is a number BIGGER than that number. 120% of x is 78. So 78 is BIGGER than the number that we don't know.

120% of x = 78

Change 120% to a decimal by moving the decimal two places to the left. Multiply.

1.2x = 78

To solve, divide both sides by 1.2

x = 78/1.2

x = 65

A Write an equivalent equation that does NOT contain decimals.
vampirchik [111]

                                                     <span>0.5x - 0.1 = -2.9

When you multiply each side of an equation by the same number,
you don't change the equation or its solution.  If you want to get rid
of the decimals, you could  multiply each side by  10.  Then the
equation is

                                                     5x - 1  =  -29

You should be able to solve that without help.
But I'm about to take your points, so here's
how to solve that equation:

                                            </span><span><span>5x - 1  =  -29

Add  1  to each side:        5x        =  -28

Divide each side by  5 :     x         =  -28 / 5

Simplify the solution:          x         =  -5 and 4/5 .

Again ... this is the same solution as the original equation
if we hadn't gotten rid of the decimals.

3. Triangle JKL is shown below. Which of the following is not a true statement about
alina1380 [7]

Option A is true because the sum of angles in a triangle is 180, so we can rule that one out immediately.

We can solve for x for the other 3 options by setting up this equation:

7x+2 + 4x+7 + 8x = 180 | Simplify

19x + 9 = 180 | Subtract 9

19x = 171 | Divide by 19
x=9

Now we can substitute x into all the values:
<J = 7x+2 = 65
<L = 4x+7 = 43
<K = 8x = 72


Looking at the options again, we can see that A, B, and D are true, leaving C to be false.
