Answer: X = 24
Step-by-step explanation:
Move all terms to the left:
(3x + 10) - (2x - 9) - 43 = 0
Get rid of all the parenthesis:
3x + 10 - 2x - 9 - 43 = 0
Add all the numbers and all variable:
x-24 = 0
Move all terms containing x to the left and all other terms to the right:
x = 24
You are asked to find the missing value in
... 40 + ? = 70
given that it is also the solution to
... ? + 5 = 35
Either way, you subtract the constant that is on the same side of the equation as the unknown.
... 40 + ? - 40 = 70 - 40
... ? = 30 . . . . the missing value
_____
You can check to see if this also satisfies the equation
... 30 + 5 = 35 . . . . . . . true
The measure of angle 1 and 2 should add up to 180°, because it forms a straight line. The same goes for the sum of angle 3 and 4.
Since we are given the measure of angle 2, we can find the measure of angle 1 by subtracting 143° from 180°.
180°-143° = 37°
We know that the intersecting lines form 2 sets of vertical angles, which are congruent. This means that the angles opposite from each other have the same measure. Therefore, both angle 2 & 4 have a measure of 143°, while angle 1 & 3 have a measure of 37°.
Answer:
(a) B
(b) $2
Step-by-step explanation:
(a) Let's say the cost of a ticket is t and the cost of popcorn is p. Then we can write the two equations from the table:
12t + 8p = 184
9t + 6p = 138
We need to solve this, so let's use elimination. Multiply the first equation by 3 and the second equation by 4:
3 * (12t + 8p = 184)
4 * (9t + 6p = 138)
We get:
36t + 24p = 552
36t + 24p = 552
Subtract the second from the first:
36t + 24p = 552
- 36t + 24p = 552
________________
0 = 0
Since we get down to 0 = 0, which is always true, we know that we cannot determine the cost of each ticket because there is more than one solution (infinitely many, actually). The answer is B.
(b) Our equation from this, if we still use t and p, is:
5t + 4p = 82
Now, just choose any of the two equations from above. Let's just pick 9t + 6p = 138. Now, we have the system:
5t + 4p = 82
9t + 6p = 138
To solve, let's use elimination again. Multiply the first equation by 6 and the second one by 4:
6 * (5t + 4p = 82)
4 * (9t + 6p = 138)
We get:
30t + 24p = 492
36t + 24p = 552
Subtract the second from the first:
36t + 24p = 552
- 30t + 24p = 492
________________
6t + 0p = 60
So, t = 60/6 = $10. Plug this back into any of the equations to solve for p:
5t + 4p = 82
5 * 10 + 4p = 82
50 + 4p = 82
4p = 32
p = 32/4 = $8
So the ticket costs 10 - 8 = $2 more dollars than the popcorn.
The perimeter is the distance all the way around. So it's the sum of the lengths of all 4 sides.
From the picture, you can clearly see the lengths of all 4 sides.
Writum down and adum up !
