8x5-4 is equal to 8 if that means 8 times 5 minus 4
Answer:
9
Step-by-step explanation:
This is because 21/7 is 3. So, you use the scale factor of 3 to divide 27/3 to get x which is 9.
Answer: 54.4 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
First find the distance to the train station. If it took Carlos 4 hours to come back driving at 68 mph, the distance is:
= Speed * time
= 68 * 4
= 272 miles
This means that Carlos drove for 5 hours to cover 272 miles the first time. His average speed was therefore:
= Distance / time
= 272/5
= 54.4 mph
Answer:
118°
Step-by-step explanation:
When two parallel lines are cut by a tranversal, then the exterior angles are supplimentary and the corresponding angles are congruent.
Therefore the angle above (15x - 17)° is also (5x + 17)° and the angle below (5x + 17)° is also (15x - 17)°.
Angles on a straight line adds up to 180°. So to know the measure of the larger angle we must both equations and equal it to 180° to find x in order to know the larger angle.
(5x + 17) + (15x - 17) = 180
5x + 15x + 17 - 17 = 180
20x = 180
20x/20 = 180/20
x = 9°
Nkw let's substitute x = 9 into the equations
5x + 17 =
5(9) + 17 =
= 62°
15x - 17 =
15(9) - 17 =
= 118°
Both equations should add up to be 180°.
Therefore the measure of the largest angle is 118°.
