For this case we have the following expression:
The first step is to solve the quadratic term.
We have then:
Then, the second step is to subtract both resulting numbers:
We observe that the result obtained is a negative number.
Answer:
The result of the expression is given by:
The answer is 8 marbles. 6*8=48. 48(ednas marbles) + 8(sam's marbles)=56.
I agree with Marita, that the angles could have the same measure. This can be proven if you set the two amounts equal and solve for x.
9x - 25 + x = x + 50 + 2x - 12
To begin, we should combine like terms on both sides of the equation to start simplifying the equation.
10x - 25 = 3x + 38
Next, we should subtract 3x from both sides and add 25 to both sides to get the variable x alone on the left side of the equation.
7x = 63
Finally, we should divide both sides by 7, to get rid of the coefficient of x.
x = 9
If you plug in 9 for x in our first equation, you get that both of the angle measurements equal 65 degrees. This means that Marita is correct, because if x = 9, then the angles would have the same measure.
The answer is alternate interior angles theorem and substitution property of equality.
