if two angles of a triangle have measures of 42 degrees and 20 degrees what is the measure of the third

Mila [183]

Every triangle has an angle measure of 180 degrees.

so 42+20+x (where x is the measure of the third angle)=180

Combine like terms.

62+x=180

Subtract 62 from both sides

x=118.

Help pls and explain !!

Aneli [31]

Answer:

d) 5/3 x

Step-by-step explanation:

You substitute a for 2c and b for 5d, so your equation will look like this:

c/d - 2c/5d = x

Then you just simplify into x by making c/d into 5c/5d so you have a common denominator.

5c/5d - 2c/5d = x

3c/5d = x

5/3 is your answer

Your take home pay is $1500 and you have 22% withheld in taxes. What is your gross pay?

wlad13 [49]

We have been given that the take home pay is $1500 and 22% is withheld as taxes.

Let us assume that the gross pay is x dollars. Therefore, take home pay must be 78% of x because 22% of the pay is withheld as taxes, so you get to take home only 78% of the gross pay.

Since we have been given that take home pay is $1500 and it is 78% of the total gross pay. Therefore, we can set up an equation:

$78\%\text{ of }x=1500\\\frac{78}{100}x=1500\\0.78x=1500\\x=\frac{1500}{0.78}\\x=\$1923.08$

Therefore, gross pay is $1923.08
