Hello!

We assign (5x + 24) to angle one and (9x - 7) to angle two. If these angles are congruent, then angle one is equal to angle two. To find the value of x, you need to create and equation as follows: 5x + 24 = 9x - 7 and find the value of x like a normal algebraic equation.

5x + 24 = 9x - 7 (subtract 5x from both sides)

24 = 4x - 7 (add 7 to both sides)

31 = 4x (divide 4 to both sides)

x = 31/4

Therefore, the value of x is equal to 31/4.

Mrs. Cho has 24 students in her class. Some of her students are also in the play. Explain why it is not possible for exactly 24%

lora16 [44]

Let's start by calculating how many students does 24% represent.
24% * 24 = 0.24 * 24 = 5.76
We got a decimal number as solution. The reason why exactly 24% students can't be in the play is because this percentage does not represent whole number of students. She can't take 0.76 students

If she wanted 25% students to be in a play it would mean she has to take:
25% * 24 = 0.25 *24 = 6 students

If the point (3,5) is on f(x) find the corresponding point on the graph of y=(x+2)+1

ad-work [718]

The corresponding point to the point given (3,5) which is on the graph of f(x) as described in the task content is; (3,6).

<h3>What is the corresponding point to the given point (3,5) as given in the task?</h3>

It follows from the task content that the point given originally is; (3,5).

However, it is required that the point which is equivalent to the given point on the graph of y=(x+2)+1 be identified.

It therefore follows that the point required as in discuss is;

y = (3+2) +1

y = 6.

Hence, the corresponding point is; (3,6).
