Answer:

7

Step-by-step explanation:

Criteria:

• same number of books on each shelf

 ⇒find a number that divides 58 and 145

• greatest number of books on each shelf

 ⇒find the greatest number that divides 58 and 145

Find the GCF of 58 and 145.

58 = 2 ⋅ 29

145 = 5 ⋅ 29The GCF of 58 and 145 is 29.

Each shelf will contain 29 books.

There are 203 total books (because 58 + 145 = 203).

Divide 203 by 29 to find the number of shelves there should be.

203 / 29 = 7

Therefore, there will be 7 shelves.

What is the value of t<br><br> HELP

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the sum of all the angles in a triangle is equal to 180°

Let's set up our equation => 18t + 36 = 180

Subtract 36 from both sides

18t = 144

t = 8

Thus, we have our answer
